Started with breakfast out at Coco's in Sun City Grand. It was ok to the point that we might go back again.
Since it was Saturday we decided to devote the day to looking at open houses. By 10:00 the signs were out and a hungry crew of real estate agents awaited us. Actually they were all pretty nice and some of the houses were too. It's really amazing that some people do not do much in the way of keeping their homes presentable when trying to sell. Almost like they're not looking for a sale.
Driving through Grand to breakfast we saw these fairly nice "Yard Sale" signs. Not your typical drawn by hand sign. Then there were police at the intersection heading to the Event Center. Turns out this was a major yard sale and perhaps one of the premier events in Grand. With cars parked on the streets blocks away I just had to see what was going on. Mistake. This was a yard sale on steroids. We finally broke free and continued hunting down open house signs.
By the end of the day we had a collection of home flyers and business cards, but nothing that said "Buy Me".
Although I didn't know about the WiFi situation, I did take some precautions before leaving home and downloaded some old movies off YouTube. Last night I watch "Away All Boats" (1956) with Jeff Chandler and Richard Boone (of "Have Gun Will Travel" fame) followed by "Destroyer" (1943) with Edward G. Robinson and Glenn Ford. These old movies are kinda fun to watch.
Day 10 - Sunday
Up at 6:30, dressed, bowl of cold cereal and off to try one of several Baptist churches on Barb's list. Decent sermon, but the music was way too loud and I'm too old school to appreciate guitars, drums, as a sax or two in church.
Weather was to be a little cooler, with a high in the mid 60's and possible rain. After a little grocery shopping we split lunch at a really good Mexican restaurant. By the time we finished eating a heavy rainstorm was passing through, dumping enough water to start flooding the slow lanes on some streets. We passed on doing anymore open houses and by the time we got back to the house the temperature was down to 55°.
Later in the afternoon we discovered there is only so much HGTV one can watch at a time, so we took a little drive. Then it was back to catch up on HGTV.
Movie tonight was "Fighting Seabees" (1944) with John Wayne, Rita Hayward and whoever played Fred Mertz on "I Love Lucy". Tomorrow we are headed down to the Goodyear area to look around.
