| The rain stopped this morning but it stayed cool and overcast. The over night low was 46 degrees and the high today was 58 degrees. Had my 8th treatment this morning at 10:00 AM. Cathy did laundry today, nice to have the laundry room right next door. Got our first mail since getting to Tempe. We left two Priority Mail envelopes with Andy and then sent him address labels when we got here. He will send what ever is in Bard when he picks up mail the last day he is at Imperial Dam. He will then mail the key back with the mail.

| We had a day that started out cloudy and raining. The overnight low was 56 degrees and the high today was 60 degrees. We headed out to the North Dakota Picnic in Mesa at about 11:30 AM. It was being held at Pioneer park on Main St. There were probably 200 to 300 people there trying to stay out of the rain in the two small shelters. I just walked in and the first person I saw was one of the engineers who designs for HTC. He is from Hillsboro. He was the only person I knew. Anne Carlson School had a display there and was sponsored by Unison Bank of Jamestown. Cathy talked to a Anne Carlson School board of directors member explaining about how David was in there day program and had used services in Jamestown as he was growing up. Brekke Travel had a display and the person running it was a PT therapist that had worked with David after his back fusion. Cathy and I both talked to Marlo from Pride of Dakota about the WIT GNR. He will provide us with some things for door prizes. Alerus Financial and the Village also had dispays. Alerus has been the major sponsor of the event and this is its 44th year. We then went to IKIA for $1 meatball dinners. Cathy had a piece of cake and that quadrupled her dinner to $4. We spent the afternoon getting ideas for the motor home and house. I picked up some inexpensive LED lights. Across from IKIA we saw Total Wine and stopped in. It was the largest liquor store I have ever been in. They have prices better than Walmart with several wines in my price range, less than $4. Picked up some Harp Lager for St Patrick;s Day. We watched the Academy Awards for evening entertainment.

| A nice day, a little cloudy and some wind. Over night low was 53 degrees and the hight today was 77 degrees. Around noon we headed out to Mesa Market Place, a drive of about 20 mi on the freeway. It is located right next to a nice shopping center with a very large Walmart. The flea market is a covered area with 4 rows and two ends full of stalls. The rows are close to 1/2 mile long and each end is probably a 1/4 mile long. It is about twice as large as Arizona Market Place in Yuma. They don't seem to have as much variety as Yuma and I don't think the prices are as good as Yuma. We stopped in the Walmart to check it out, very nice. We went from the flea market to St Daniels for mass, we saw in the bulletin that they are having a winter visitor appreciation day next Saturday.

Talked to the nurse and got a date set for the implant, April 8. That is a Thursday. We will probably stay for the Nascar races on Saturday and Sunday. Stopped at the 99 cent store and Best Buy on the way back to the motor home. Had shrimp cocktail and a bean salad that Cathy made for dinner.

| The wind was a little to high for a perfect day and there were a few clouds. The over night low was 51 degrees and the high today was 71 degrees. They were running ahead of schedule at SW Oncology Center so finished my 6th therapy session 10 minutes early. We drove south on McClintock to Trader Joe's. It is a very nice store. Picked up some good wines and olive oil. There is an interesting book store in the same shopping center called Changing Hands. They sell new and used books and have a lot of interesting gifts and cards. Attached to the book store is a bread store called Wildflower Bread company. It is also a restaurant. On the way back to the motor home we stopped to see what Basha's grocery store was like. It is a very nice grocery store with a pharmacy. Picked up another bottle of wine and some Corona beer. We had beef stew for dinner. We had some 9 grain bread from Wildflower Bread and some Panilonco Merlot Malbec that we got at Trader Joe's. it is a wine from Chile and we both liked it.

| Beautiful day. The over night low was 52 degrees. The high today was 73 degrees. Had my treatment at 10:15 AM today. Put in the LP detector. Got out the patio furniture. Cathy and I both sat outside for awhile. Cathy made a roast for dinner. We found out the hard way that the grey water tank was full, it started coming up in the shower. Got to try out the new sewer fitting in the dark. Every thing worked fine, so both tanks are dumped.

| Another nice day. The over night low was 50 degrees again. The high today was 68 degrees. Cathy walked around and met some of the people here in the park. I was watching Nascar on TV. The las Vegas race was rain delayed. At 3:30 PM we left for church at St Daniel the Prophet church in Scottsdale. Michael John Poirier was there to conduct a mission today and tomorrow. He is a Catholic song writer, singer and speaker. He has 17 CDs out. After mass I finished watching the race. We then went to a Ci Ci's Pizza Buffet in Phoenix on Thomas Blvd. It was a good meal. Cathy ordered a special pizza. They are having a 25th anniversary special of $3.99 for all you can eat. Normally it is $4.99. After dinner we stopped at a CVS and the 99 cent store. About 10:15 PM it started raining.
