Dog Park

Larry and I had a glorius day. The sun was out and the temperatures were well into the 60's. So what did we do to take advantage of the sunshine, we went to another movie matinee, Sherlock Holmes. It was kind of fun but not great. The special effects were fun, though. Tomorrow we really might go for a hike. There are no more movies that we're dying to see. We'll Netflix the ones that we are mildly interested in.

I did get out for a walk at sunset. I went around our development looking at the beautiful colors reflected by the mountains to the north of us (the Catalinas) and east of us (the Rincons). I happened to go by the dog park in our development--it's just a patch of green near the 3rd swimming pool. Dog owners tend to congregate there everyday. Tonight Norma Jean and Deborah were there with their dogs. We introduced ourseleves and had a nice time visiting. Norma Jean is 85 and has been in the development since it opened. She loves it here. Deborah is in her late 20's I estimate and also like Tucson. She is studying health and fitness promotion. I continue to be impressed by the friendliness of the people in our neighborhood. It feels more and more like home here. I'm likely to go to the dog park at sunset whenever I feel like talking to a neighbor.
