Mah Jongg anyone?

If it's Tuesday, then it must be Mah Jong.  Sue picked me up in her golf cart and off we went to the South Clubhouse.   We had 8 ladies again today, let's see....it was me, Sue, Peggy, DeAnna, Carol, Barbara, Shelia and I'm drawing a blank on the other lady.  Not bad for just having met them for the second time, huh. 

Turns out Shelia knits so I invited her to go downtown to Knit Knorth with me this afternoon but she and her husband were going for a ride on their motorcycle.  So, after lunch, I drove downtown and parked in the public parking garage which is about 3 (long) blocks from the yarn shop.  Wouldn't be so bad except today is the hottest day we've have had up here...93 with 75% humidity.  

Allure Scarf

Knit Knorth is a nice little shop, owned by Heather Adle.  Heather and her friend were sitting around knitting and talking like we do back home.  I'm considering taking a class from her on sock making, they are a bit tricky and there are several ways to make them.  I wore my Allure Scarf to Mah Jongg today and Carol wants me to make one for her in aqua.  Knit Knorth did not have the yarn I needed so I drove over to the Yarn Quest.  They had the yarn but not the color so I'm in a bit of a dilemma.

Wednesday was R and R day for me (George calls it my "lazy day")...whatever you want to call it, I got some much needed rest lounging by the pool, which I had to myself most of the morning.  The pool water was cold by my standards; however, these northerners jump right in as if it's bath water.  George and I ran a  few errands this afternoon then I fixed flatbread pizza for dinner.

Thursday is upon us and it's Mah Jongg day at the North Clubhouse.  My "chauffer", Sue, picked me up again and we had 6 players...me, Sue, Carol, Deanna, Peggy and Janet.  Deanna was passing out invitations to Happy Hour Sunday night at the South Clubhouse....it's a "bring a bottle of Michigan wine and/or Michigan appetizers to share" party that Jan put together.  Well, I have both MI wine and MI cheese so I'm all set. 

We attended the Social at the Main Clubhouse this evening and met several nice couples.  We were greeted by Ann and Don Thomson from Houston, TX who own Lot 81.  Then Ron and Penny who own Lot 82 and have open Happy Hour at their place every night.  Around the corner from them are Larry and Ken on Lot 92, Carol and Frank on Lot 108 and Jan and Tim Fox...forgot their lot number but they are  near Carol and Frank.  Deanna also lives somewhere on this street, plus Jan is in 101 next door to the South Clubhouse (there are 4 Jan's here, so far I've met 2 of them).  There is a lot for sale on this street which we are seriously interested in buying....hmmm, we'll see.

After the social, we went to McGee's, a tavern down the street, with Carol and Frank and Jan and Tim where we traded RV stories, had a lot of laughs and learned more about each other.

Friday was cloudy and much cooler....not supposed to get out of the 60's so I took the opportunity to clean the RV and, since we aren't running A/C, I can get caught up on laundry.  Just finished my second Allure Scarf  and started a new knitting project called L'Enveloppe which I found at The Thistledownn Shoppe in Sutton's Bay.   Here's a peek at the yarn....it's called Mineral.
 

We fixed dinner on the grill then took a walk around the park this nice cool evening and got a closer look at Lot 96, the one we like.  There is someone parked in the lot so we'll have to wait for the realtor to escort us around.
