Yesterday we left about 9am for the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals football team. We are going to a "Home and Garden Show". It was easy to get to and we had tickets for the Senior Citizen special at $1.00 each, if we got there before noon. Parking is free and lots of it, at this time of day we park close to gate 2, our entrance. We join the throng of people waiting to get in. This complex is huge, It is a covered dome that can be opened up and a real grass field that can be rolled out when other events are scheduled there, such as this home and garden show. We took the escalator down two floors, to what was the playing field minus the grass. So imagine vendor booths set up to fill this space. We saw more roofing, tile, slate, doors, windows, cutlery, cookware, and numerous other things, than one usually sees in a lifetime. We got stuck watching a "waterless cookware" demo and spent more time than planned (at least we were sitting down). There were very few garden vendors, so didn't see the flower displays, I was anticipating. Anyway it was fun, interesting, crazy????? I spent more time looking at the stadium, with its many rows of bleachers, and its foldable roof, trying to imagine how it all worked. Stopped at one yard sale on the way back to the condo.
Back at the condo, I fix a quick pan of "sheepherder potatoes" and Herb grilled up a burger, for our dinner. Catch up on scrabble, email, sit by the pool and on our patio. Go to the ice cream social, put on by the resort. It was billed as free but then found there might be a charge, but the ice cream "vendor" had spilled the ice cream out of his truck onto the street so they ended up treating us to ice cream specialties, from the little market at the front office. Not much of a social but we did talk to a Canadian couple, who said it was -40° when they left home. Joseph is sounding better everyday.
We start our last week of sunshine today. Will go yard saling today, hope we find some lemons. We have one maybe two ballgames planned for this week. Otherwise it is just sun, sun sun. OWAW:)
