Wednesday in Mesa

Today I got my 10,000 "steps" at Verde Groves. They have stripped all the fruit off the trees, but I found one that they missed and I picked several grapefruit. They are tree-ripened and incredibly sweet and good. When everyone was dressed and ready we went back to the cemetery to clean Grandad's headstone. We also drove around downtown Mesa and ended up in a neighborhood I have never seen. I had always thought it strange that Mesa doesn't have any old homes. Well it turns out it does and we saw them. This afternoon we went with Chip and Sandy to see McFarland USA in Gilbert. It was really enjoyable. Afterward we had dinner at Tum Nak Thai. Also very enjoyable.

This was a fun and productive day, but that's all for now.
