3/19 – 3/23/2010 Playin’ Catch-up Again….STILL!

Here I am playin’ catch up again still. With getting ready to pull out of here for the summer season and attending get togethers and end of season parties, well there just isn’t enough hours in the day.

So what have we been up to? Last Friday, the 19th, we had our mini golf end of season party.

After lots of good food, cash prizes were given out to those who finished in the top end for the last session. My partner, Gary, and I split ten dollars for fourth place.

A few door prizes were given out such as this little golfer who spins around on the green and can land on a directive such as MORE BEER.

Our friend Bev also won a prize.

She was happy with her winnings, a statue of a golfer.

After eats and prizes we went outside to play under the lights, BUT not before Bob Archer explained to us how we would be doing hole # 1.

Yes, we will use this huge club that is the perfect length for a 3 year old and large soft rubber ball. I can’t wait to see some of the men bending down to use this club!

It took me six tries to get this oversized golf ball in the hole. I’m glad was in the company of many who also had the same problem.

On behalf of the mini golf players I want to extend a huge THANK YOU to Bob and Nel Archer…..

……for the effort they put into making sure the mini golf sessions run smoothly and more importantly ….. are FUN!

Saturday brought four hours at the pool for me and that was three hours too many. Can you say SUNBURN?

Sunday I spent the day at Mesa Market with friends Betty and Warren. Bob had things he wanted to do around the house so he stayed behind.

Monday was a beautiful day here in the desert, sunny, warm but I was still too red to go to the pool. Monday evening I had the pool league party to go to.

Tuesday night Bob had his pool league party.

FOOD! Every time we turn around its another eating function. Everyone is complaining that they are adding pounds because I can tell you right now, there is NOT a bad cook in this park. Yep, we’re all complaining but we are all still shoveling it in like there is no tomorrow.

The park is starting to empty. Everyday more and more rigs are leaving. There are large gaps in the rows where RV’s once parked. Our friends are gone or are leaving soon, some to go home for the summer, some on to their next workamping job, some just to travel until it is once again time to return to the desert for yet another winter. I don’t like this time of year.
