Wednesday AM

Yesterday Feb. 24th. was Chris and Pam's 19th anniversary.  Congratulations to them.  They celebrated at The Heartland lodge.  Check it out.  http://www.heartlandlodge.com/  They will be headed home today.

As my dad would say, "we dunced around" yesterday until noon.  We needed to buy propane as one of our bottles was depleted.  The neighbors told me where the least expensive refill station was located.  We headed to Apache Junction for a refill.

Actually, the mine is somewhere in the picture!

The next stop was at another antique mall.  Lots of interesting artifacts in these places.  I might have to buy some spurs for my boots, but I think I'll skip the chaps.

Do any of my family remember watering the chickens with one of these?

 After the antiques the farmers market beckoned. Lots of veggies there.  Lela also bought a jar of rhubarb jam. The market is very popular with the snowbirders.

We didn't buy this.

 

We picked up some fried chicken and headed home at about 5:00.  There was a concert scheduled for 7:00 and we wanted to attend.

The concert was a gospel concert.

  There was no entry fee, but an offering was accepted.  The hat was passed and most people contributed.

 

  We were invited to sing along with the songs we knew, however they did several songs that were original to the entertainers.  We enjoyed the evening and headed home about 9:00.

The weather here has been cool and windy.  A thunderstorm came through yesterday while we were out.  It blew over our chairs and a plant, but no damage was done.  I am glad I had the awning tied down.  The rain stayed in the west valley and didn't get us.
