Mom's Blog 4.7.08

Good Morning,

It is Sunday morning and I've been to church and now the long day is ahead of me. Not much is happening these days but I'll try to fill you in on my week!!

Monday morning I took my car in for an oil change and tires rotation!! I ended up with a new brake job and new hoses put in. I guess they were the original hoses so it was time for replacement. It shook me up a little to realize that the brakes were not good and I knew I couldn't let that go. After a call to Sue, she agreed that I had to have all these things done. There went my nice tax refund(and then some) that I haven't even gotten yet!! Oh well, things could be worse. I guess I'm lucky that I have it to pay.

Wednesday, the park put on an Italian night for all the people who own their places. It was FREE. That doesn't happen more than once a year! That morning, Norine & I went for our first pedicure. It was a real treat and I think it could be habit forming!!

Thursday, Julie & I went shopping at Scottsdale. We went to the Borgatta and also Fashion Square. We saw lots of interesting and fun things but didn't buy much. We did have a great lunch. It was fun to wander through all the unique shops they have there. Scottsdale is known as the Edina in Minneapolis--pretty high end shopping.

Friday I enjoyed cocktails at Ed & Norine's with several of their friends.

Saturday I rode along with Ed & Norine to the Bass Pro Shop in Tempe. It is new in the area so there were lots of lookers. I know that if Greg were down here, he would visit that many times! He does Cabela's in Medford on a very regular basis.

Saturday afternoon I had a cocktail party and invited Maiers, Conklin's and Schmidt's. It sounds like that's all I do anymore but lots of folks are leaving for home and it's a good time to get rid of food that has accumulated. I still have 3 weeks to go but most of us have "Must go" parties. Food that "must go".

That's about it for this week. If any of you can still stand to read this--wait until next week and it will REALLY be boring, when I'm the only one left here.


Love, LaVerne
