No blog post for three weeks because nothing happened until this week. I guess it is a good thing to have a boring existence. No news is good news, as the old adage goes.
As I was about to put this post together, I noticed this is my blog post #1575. WOW! When I started years ago, I never imagined a thousand plus postings of our adventures and non-adventures.
So here is what happened the rest of January.

January 25th, day of rain and some snow and some graupel
Graupel: also called soft hail or snow pellets, is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm balls of rime. Graupel is distinct from hail and ice pellets. Hail is common in thunderstorms, while graupel typically falls in winter storms. Wikipedia

We celebrated National Spouses Day on January 26th by using the delivery meal service offered by our resort and the Cal-Am company in the Phoenix area. The service is called Heat and Eat. Meals are prepared in a central kitchen at one of the larger Cal-Am resorts and delivered to our resort the following morning. Our resort then has a golf cart delivery service to the 600+ sites. It is like ordering from a restaurant and having the meal delivered to your door (you can choose the delivery time from 10 to noon) without ever leaving the recliner! Directions are provided for heating the meal when you are ready to indulge. We have used the service for another yummy meal since January 26th, and will use it again. The cost is very comparable to a meal in a restaurant.

And at the end of January we had visitors from South Dakota. Connie and I went to school and college together. Connie was in my wedding. We have been couple friends since 1969. Dan and Hubby served in Desert Storm and actually saw each other in Saudi Arabia. The four of us were educators and have children of similar ages. We have played many games of pinocle over the years. It was so good to see them during their visit to AZ.
Sometimes boring is good. I've gotten kinda used to it myself and been getting some craft projects done. I like the whole meal option and delivery you have now, looks delicious! We need to make a geocaching play date, time is flying by already!
