Maureen visited her eye surgeon this morning. The macular hole has healed but vision is still cloudy. The ophthalmologist says it will take time to get the vision back – we just have to be patient.

While the rest of the world watched the Super Bowl Susan and Maureen visited the Running of the Gourds at the Casa Grande Fairgrounds.
 
We learned how to prepare the gourds for decorating
Then we marvelled at all the many shapes and sizes of gourds that are available.
 
Inside the Competitors building we were blown away by the ingenuity and talent that goes in to gourd decorating.
 
This girl is made entirely with gourds, as is the chair that she sits on.

 Maureen used some of the money from her mother’s estate to purchase a “lot improvement” her at Palm Creek. Along with the 10 X 12 shed, there’s a washer and dryer, water softener, hot water heater, full size fridge, and lots of paving.
