Progress - We Have a Shed Pad!

The day started about 6:15a.  The cement guy was due at 7:00a.  He showed up at 7:04a.  He and his helper worked non-stop until 1:00p.  As you can see, the pad sure makes the lot look smaller - and will even more so once there's a building on it.  Once the shed is in place, it will totally block our view of the neighbor's sewer line and most of his RV.  That's one of the reasons we opted for the long side to be parallel with our RV.  The owner of the company also does the work and he noticed that Roger has his retired Navy stickers on both the truck and the RV.  As a "thank you for your service" he poured the step for free.  That was very nice. 

After a bike ride around the park, Rog spent the afternoon cleaning up around the new pad and staking out where the pavers for the patio will be going.  Every time we do it, we move the lines a bit.  Who knows what it will look like when when the work is actually done.  We are excited about it, though.  It's going to look so nice. 

Maggie and I got our walk early this morning, I got a shower and put on clean clothes and then went to an all member advisory board meeting to hear what they had to say about the future of the co-op once the developer steps down the end of December.  There was not much said that we hadn't already heard.  What I don't understand in these types of meetings is why the speakers insist on talking fast and mumbling into the mic.  I wasn't the only one complaining about not being able to understand what they were saying.  Those at my table just sat there shaking their heads as we all tried to hear.  Don't they realize we are all old and can't hear?  We need a screen with closed captioning!!!  

While I was at the activity center I signed up for the water aerobics class and will start going on Friday. We will see how it goes but I'm thinking it will be good for me.

This afternoon found me catching up on answering emails from friends who where sending their hugs to me after last weekend.  Thank you all for thinking of me.  

I ordered two sun hats today - let's see how the delivery system works here.  Theoretically they will be going to the post office in town and put in a locker.  Stay tuned.  

Tomorrow we will take a trip into Tucson and finalize the shed contract.  We will take Maggie and make a day of it as it is a 1.5 hr drive to where we will be going.  Hopefully we will find a lunch place with outdoor seating.  

Another beautiful day - started out in the mid 50s and by mid afternoon was about 80.  It was overcast off and on which was a help to the cement guys!  The sun is pretty brutal if you are out in it and working but sitting in the shade it is wonderful!  We watched a cactus wren this evening try and drink out of the hummingbird feeder.  He was doing some acrobatics trying to hold on.
