Both of us woke up late, Lary dashed off to coffee hour in the clubhouse where he sat with some people from Manitoba who told him about the wine place called Total Wine, it is gi-normous, advertising that they have 8,000 different wines, 2,000 spirits and 1,000 beers you can imagine that we had to go over and see it.
As Tucson is very large, it was a great excuse to try out the GPS, Lary doesn't obey the Goddess very well, but we found it, and bought a couple bottles of wine, some Italian Prosecco like champagne and some Abita Springs beer to round out the selection.
GPS works well, and we found a case for it also that will protect it too. Had lunch in an IHOP, the waitress was great but the atmosphere was dreadful, all through lunch we could hear shouting from the kitchen very near us. Ick. We complained to the manager and he apologized, but didn't do anything about it.
At the closeout for Circuit City we found a headphone microphone for a great price, we hope to use Skype via our computer to call long distance, but haven't got it installed as yet.
Then we went up Oracle Road, highway 77 high into the Santa Catalina Mtns, there is a lot of what appears to be very nice housing, and neat stores there, but the scenery here around us is prettier than up there really. Went as far as Oracle Junction, but then turned around, and came back to the store we visited on Friday,
The West, the charity store that has such gorgeous needlepoint/cross stitch supplies.
As you can imagine I couldn't resist and bought some gorgeous flosses there.
On the way home we went past a Dodge dealership, Lary took out a 1 ton Dodge pickup truck to try out, long box, quad cab same as ours, heavy duty and bigger Cummins engine, 6.7 litre, 6 speed automatic, and quieter than ours.
But the dealership said that if we registered it in Canada the warranty wouldn't apply, so of course we have to buy in Canada, which is really much better for everybody anyway.
Home and sat out reading on the patio til the sun disappeared, then made a yummy salad for dinner to eat with the fish Lary cooked, though we had had salad for lunch too.
Temps in the truck registered as high as 88 yesterday afternoon. It seemed to be a sizzler.

Sounds like a ball there. Looking forward to hearing from you on Skype. I have been using it for a couple years now - right now I have a plan that gives unlimited North American calling from my computer for $3/month. We are into some wet weather now, and the snowplow mounds are getting smaller. Sure would like to be sunning somewhere...
