Palm Creek RV Resort

The weather has been lovely and the park is so beautiful to walk or ride our bikes around. The golf course is emerald green and in really great shape. They had a great arts and crafts show around Valentines Day and a quilt show today. The displays were really nice and some of the quilts were amazing! The sewing ladies also make pillow cases for the children's hospital and blankets for the nursery. Busy and talented women!

Roger has been in San Antonio on business since Monday. He was supposed to come back last night but needs to be there Monday and Tuesday so he will be home Tuesday night. I'm happy that he was able to drive to Houston - surprised the girls Friday night - and then on to Austin to see Carlos and Megan on Sunday. He helped Kyle move some furniture over to Kyle and Rachel's so he got to see them too. Beats a boring week-end in the hotel!

I'm having a chili cook-out tonight to celebrate Mike Lynch's birthday so I've been cooking today. Too bad Roger is missing one of the rare times I actually cook!

Sky Dive Arizona

 

Sky Dive Arizona is located nearby in Eloy and is "sky diving central" for skydivers from all over the world - including military training. They have an indoor wind tunnel, an equipment shop, sleeping quarters, a café and of course a saloon! We went out around noon - had lunch at the outdoor café and then watched the airplanes take off, drop their skydivers, and then eventually saw the jumpers "blossom" in the air - they look like butterfly's floating downward. We set up our lawn chairs right along one of the grassy areas where they land and sat and watched them all afternoon. Roger and I have never seen jumpers landing like that and it was so interesting. We were amazed at the wide range of ages - teenagers to 80 year olds! They offered tandem jumps and they were fun to watch land - especially, first timers that loved it! Personally, I was comfortable in my lawn chair! Can't get my video to download!

Cancer Awareness Week

Everyone at Palm Creek has been commemorating Cancer Awareness Week the last few days. Friday night was the culmination with several hot air balloons participating in a twilight glow in the town square. Live entertainment, cookies and hot chocolate with luminaries lighting the way from the front entrance. The weather cooperated and it was a lovely night.

Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort

We are finally settled here in Casa Grande, AZ - will be here until the middle of April when we travel up the west coast. It is a huge park (1800 sites!)  but beautiful with tons of activities. There is an 18 hole, par 3 golf course that is very nice - great exercise to walk it. We live on "Bogie Lane" - guess they know what kind of golfers we are - they didn't put us on "Eagle Lane" or "Birdie Lane!"

Mike and Lorraine have introduced us to many of their friends and we are getting involved in activities so hopefully, we will meet some other couples who golf. We won the weather lottery - it has been lovely in this area of the country!

Heather had a medical scare that sent me to Houston last week for 4 days but, thank God she is doing well now and it was nice to be able to help with the girls. Glad I didn't need to travel to KL!! It was Kyle's first week at his new job with Phillips 66 so things were crazy. Tima to the rescue!

Emily made a helicopter with her legos and Samantha made a "masterpiece" at her art class!
