After doing scrabble and email, back at the condo I brown hamburger, add onions, celery and garlic to cook, for a pasta casserole. I put pasta on to cook and add tomato sauce and basil to the burger mixture. Then I layer all of this with cheese and sour cream so it is ready to go into the oven for our dinner.
Yesterdays temperature was over 70° but a cold wind blew all day. In the morning we went for a ride hoping for pool time in the afternoon. Lake Pleasant Park is near here, so we headed north, looking for a view. It seems that it is a fee only park, even to see the lake. Every road we took came to a toll booth. Not really expensive just irritating that you have to pay to look at a lake!! From one point we were able to see, in the far distance, an arm of Lake Pleasant. Along the way we saw burro's, ginny fowl, and coyote's, but no jackrabbits. Hmmmm. The countryside is far from flat, which is how I think of a desert. The mountains aren't very high but we drove through one range of mountains after another as we explored the area. The saguaro cactus standing tall and proud. The last road we took, "New River Road", looped around farther north where it came into 17 and then back to Carefree Hyw. and Cibola Vista. We never did see a river only a housing development, named "New River".
I put the pasta casserole in a slow oven and we take our books and go to the pool. Very few people are there and it is windy. We sit and read for awhile but soon more clouds roll in and we abandon our poolside chairs, for the condo deck. The condo is inviting, not only is it warm but it smells like spaghetti. I make a salad and we eat our dinner.
Later in the afternoon we connect with Bobi and Rusty together on ichat. Haven't been able to have a three-way chat for sometime so that was fun. Bobi, Cienna and Rusty will all be home for spring break. Rusty said it had been snowing in Joseph and Bob said Portland is soggy as usual.
The rest of the day was spent reading and we have plans to go to a ballgame today. OWAV:)
