St. Paddy's Day Dinner & Dance

Another fun filled evening last night at the Tumbleweed. Place was packed as usual and if you didn't have a reservation don't think you could get a place to enjoy the dinner and the music by Bunky.

Dinner was great with a choice of traditional corned beef and cabbage or the regular Friday night fish fry.,,the corned beef was delicious...trust me.

Our group of 12








Bob & Marilyn are close friends with Bunky. They leave today for their home in Wyoming and will be back here in January...safe travels.



Bunky always has a couple of special songs for Bob & Marilyn.






Toni & Mary enjoying!!

More soon.....

Latest Updates from Eloy, Arizona

Been awhile so here are a few updates from warm Eloy, AZ.

Well it's been 'toasty'...but we like it. Today it's...



Betty and the girls have been shopping including going up to the Mesa Market.

Been to The Tumbleweed of course for Friday fish fry's entertained by Bunky and some Wednesday's for taco night with great music by C.C. Collier. Going there tonight actually and have a table for 8 reserved. If you don't make a reservation you probably will not get a seat and that goes for most nights.

Had Duffy to the vet on the 7th and he is in great shape except for...needs a big time teeth cleaning and scheduled for the 22nd. He'll more than likely lose some teeth (can't wait to see the bill for this). Shots are now all up to date.



Broasted chicken at Flashback's at least a couple times.

Since it was so warm today, 86, decided on something easy for dinner.

Remembered we brought along some escargot, and the appropriate bowls, we then picked up some fresh baked french bread at the local Fry's (Kroger) and commenced. No homemade Caesar's today though...although I think that will be coming soon.

So with a bottle of wine and the above mentioned we turned off the a/c about 6:30pm and enjoyed.

Still 67 out there...oh well.










The 11th there was a barbershop group called Anything Goes in the clubhouse and they were really entertaining.




The next day, Sunday the 12th, we went back to The Tumbleweed for their weekly afternoon jam session where musicians, whether local or here for the Winter, come in and play together. Great talent with artists back in the days that have played with the likes off Merle Haggard, Marty Robbins, Johhny Cash and more. Stewart MacDougall was the lead today along with Myron on the electric violin and Mark on the keyboard piano.

Yesterday, Tuesday the 14th, Craig & Cindy came down for a visit from their winter digs up in Mesa. After chatting some we went to one of our favorite restaurants in Casa Grande...the Creative Cafe. After a nice lunch we headed back to Eloy and the airport for SkyDive Arizona. Always fun watching these idiots jump out of perfectly good airplanes. 😉

Lot of military personnel training today...we think from a Country in Europe.



Got back home to this...



Originally we were falsley blaming Baxter for this but we know now who really grabs all the napkins off the table...Duffy!!



With a couple of wines and some homemade chocolate brownies Cindy made we Skyped with Cal & Yvonne back in Green Bay. That was fun to see and talk to them from afar. After that C&C headed back to Mesa after a most enjoyable day.

To top the day off for us Bunky was playing in the clubhouse...non-stop for 3 hours ending at 10pm.

This Friday we go to the Tumleweed (yes we are regulars) for their St. Paddy's Day Dinner & Dance with music by The Campbell Brothers...should be raelly fun night.

Last week or so many rigs leaving all over the area including here heading North...albeit most probably taking their time watching the weather. Canadians can only be in the U.S. for 6 months in a row and many come down in October so...

Here are some more pics that should be new here in our Trip Journal.




C&C getting aquainted



Mike looks bonded with Duffy


Craig joined the growing list of Duffy lovers

Trust everything well with all.
