Wow. I'm finally back on line. We've been out of commission since Friday afternoon. We've had a great weekend and have been living like real people. What a pleasure. Friday we went over to our old park in Coolidge for a fish fry. We visited old friends and had a great evening. Saturday morning was our first pancake breakfast. Bruce and I did nothing but eat. Our workampers did a very fine job. The turnout was smaller than expected but we made money so it doesn't matter to us. Saturday afternoon we went for our first swim and decided we needed to go back for more. Saturday evening we went to a costume party at the Arizona City golf course. We ate, drank, danced and had fun. One of the gals in our group won the best female. She was dressed as a mermaid and she was a very fine mermaid. The judge was a 17 year old boy that could not take his eyes off of her. Anyway, a good time was had by all. This morning we went to the park church service and then back to Coolidge because our friends Charles and Myrna arrived yesterday from Canada. We all had lunch at the Greek restaurant in Florence and we will definitely be going back. This evening we went for a walk with some fellow workampers and then all of us sat in here and talked. Bud and Shelley worked in a GM plant in Michigan and Rick worked in a Ford plant in Ohio. They can tell work stories that are just unbelievable. Bruce is happy he wasn't a supervisor in a car manufacturing plant. We both have a whole new appreciation for autoworkers. Now we are ready to settle in for some good tv. Tomorrow morning Bruce is going to work and I'm going to water aerobics. We've got a whole new attitude about work and it doesn't include both of us working 12 hours a day, 6 days a work.
