We went to Mass last night because we had an 8AM appointment with Cox cable company. We now have WiFi and I have a tv to watch when I can't sleep. I'm very spoiled!! We were very lucky, cable guy came very early and was very fast. Wonder if I could talk him into working for Comcast?? So, done early we headed out for a little more sightseeing. Rawhide Steakhouse and western town in Chandler, here we come. It should have been called a ghost town, and it also should say in the travel brochure that if you are 12 or under, this place is for you. There was a Zip line, mechanical bull, and of course the old shoot um up action in the arena.
Shops with some interesting greeters:
But the highlight was the Steak house. We had a late lunch, and it was "yummy". The New York strip steak was delicious, but not the main attraction. Folks around us were eating the Rattlesnake appetizer!!!! Yuck! Yes, real stuff. As I was told, it is illegal to kill one in AZ so they have to import them from another state.
My recommendation if you ever go there is the: Sweet Tea Peach Lemonade (must be 21 for this one) check out the ingredients, it was delicious..
Since the town was a real bust there was a casino down the road, so we stopped for a little session.. Played a long time on their money but they ended up taking it back. We both lost but it was a nice place.
Oh boy, by the time we hit the road for Sun City West the AZ Cardinal game had just ended and traffic was going to be slow. We did have a choice to go way up and around the loop or just chance it. We were in no big hurry so we tried our luck. Well I sure wish our luck had been this good in the casino. Not very many of the crowd going North, so we zipped right through. It really did look Ugly going south, I don't like event traffic!!!!
Monday:
Now that we have our WiFi both of us have a little business to take care of, and a little light house cleaning and laundry to do. Of course a few long walks and actually cooking dinner here was good.
The house is fully stocked with everything imaginable, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, pizza cutter, corkscrew, well you get it. I felt right at home very quickly.
AZ has the 6 month folks, who must spend half of their year here in order to take advantage of residency. Most are arriving in the month of November and will stay through April and some even May. They are busy all day long. Golf, walks, arts and crafts.. They swim, bike ride, play tennis and Pickle Ball, and some even just sit for hours drinking coffee solving world problems. They are very active and most look very healthy and agile, until they go grocery shopping. Then they park in one of the overwhelming number of handicap spots and pull out their canes and go slowly into the store. It's a fact that if you don't have a handicap plate you are definately in the minority, who must park a mile from the front door.
Random pictures: Dust storm.
Another weird cactus
And I just couldn't resist taking this pic. Some strange landscape designs. A bit much for a small front yard!!
And then this selfie enjoying the sunshine.
Our first orange.
It was juicy and delicious...
Will end this chapter here. Tomorrow is a special day, grandson Justin is coming for a short visit.
