Last week Thursday, Pat and Janet McNamara treated us to a steak dinner, after which we played Settlers of Catan. I squeaked the win out over Ellen,who has been playing great.
Saturday's weather was really crummy, so we hung around at home, with Pat and Janet coming over for another game of Settlers. Janet won out in this one, she played very well. The high wind blew off two of our flags from the holder on the front of our Excel. Still missing is our United States flag. A neighbor found our Colombian flag stuck in the bushes some ways away.
Sunday we had them over for snacks and another Settlers game, which Janet won handily. Watched the Academy Awards, and I enjoyed Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin quite a bit. Some of the stars (especially George Clooney) did not appreciate the jabs. Avatar was outdone by the Hurt Locker (which we haven't seen). We did see Avatar and enjoyed it immensely, but have no basis of comparison. The 3D thing was awesome. Some of the battle stuff was a bit much.
Monday was a wild day, with Ellen fasting for a blood test in the early morning for her Mayo Clinic Doctor. Then we ran all over Sierra Vista shopping running errands, filling with fuel etc. Had a simply lousy breakfast at Denny's. Raced back to the RV Park, dropped Ellen off, then I went on to Benson for woodcarving. I was really late, and didn't get any carving done, but on a jigsaw, George from Kansas cut out my 2010 Christmas ornament blanks for the grandkids.
We enjoyed another steak dinner, thanks to Dave and Joyce Gamber. Dave BBQ'ed up some great rib eyes. We dined with the Gambers, Dennis, also from Colorado, and Mike and Barbara from the St. Louis area. I truly pigged out, as everything was scrumptious.
Hope to get some carving done today!
Your game is a new one for us! Explain, please! A board game? A card game?
