What to do? What to do?




Well we’re not shoveling snow yet! Close but not yet! Although the weather has been a little disappointing. Which means the indoor pool gets a little more use than the outdoor pool.

Kat is still swimming and knitting/crocheting. That is when she’s not on Facebook managing her farm on Farmville. There is no doubt that she has succumbed to the trap that is Farmville. If you don’t know what it is I would advise that you be very careful in checking it out! But if you have lots of free time just go to facebook .com and I’ll see you in a few monthsJ We go to the indoor pool and hot tub more together now. I need to soak out the pain from softball. We’re in league play now and doing OK. I got appointed co-manager with Evelyn (front row right) and then we found out together that neither of us really wanted the job. But we have worked it out and now I tell everybody that she’s the brains of the outfit and I’m just the mouthpiece. We mostly have fun and aren’t too bad. Actually we are 4 and 4 and that’s about where we should be. We lost one we should have one and won one we should have lost.

I haven’t played as much Pickleball as I would have liked because of softball but it Pickleball is really picking up here in the Valley. Our friends Bill and Karen Hopkins have really done a great job in finding us a better place to play and get more people involved. We play at Mission Parks and Recreation now in addition to here in the resort. There we have three courts to the one here. And players are coming in from different parks. Just today we were looking at some new tennis courts near here that we would like to get striped for Pickleball. Folks are starting to tell resorts and campgrounds they want Pickleball or they are going somewhere else. Cool!

Jade is still on her string and sliding back and forth outside, weather permitting. I watched her run as far as she could toward a rabbit a couple of days ago and decided a new name may be appropriate. Something like Waddles. I think the good life is catching up with her (too). She is certainly becoming more of a pet. Losing some of her ferrelnous (?). She likes to get in my lap now and have her ears scratched and her cheeks rubbed. But now I have to teach her to allow me to trim her claws. Wish me luck with that! She’s not that unferrel (?). There’s two new words for you.

We woke up one day last week to find we had lake front property. I had to wade to the car. Been a bad winter here too. The folks who have been coming here for some time say this is the worst winter in many years. Global Warming no doubt! I heard somebody recently say they had been here 26 years and this was the worst. But like I said, we’re not shoveling it!
