Busy

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last wrote in here. We have been so busy with the park model and with the golf course. The golf course opened up 2 weeks early after the over seeding. That meant that most of the workers, who are snowbirds, were not here yet. So, with Rick being in charge of the rangers, starters, and cart washers, he had slim pickings for workers. So the people that got here early ended up getting the jobs. But we spent 2 weeks or more washing carts and putting them away every night. We have so many hours of golf under our belts it isn't even funny. Now that we are settled into the park model, it won't be long for us to move back into the 5th wheel as our renters will be coming in on Dec 1st. What I will miss the most is the washer and dryer. It has been nice to just go out and throw a load of clothes in while watching TV. I have started attending a class called Zumba. This is an exercise thru dancing. Salsa style. It has been fun. It was only once a week but now they have added another day. The instructor has lost 54 pounds in the past year. I just wish to lose a few at a time. Any weight lose would help. We bought a car to drive around while we are here. Saves wear and tear on the truck. Getting 21 mpg compared to 12 in the truck. It is a 1992 Ford Taurus station wagon. I had put pictures on facebook and people were making fun of our family car. I said they weren't thinking right. Four (4) sets of golf clubs and four (4) adults. That is why the station wagon works for us. The park here put on a great Veterans Day service. We have one veteran here in the park that is an outstanding person and a walking miracle. His name is Lawrence. We love him dearly. He golfs with us and makes us laugh all the time. He lost half of his stomach in Vietnam and because of agent orange, he lost the other half to cancer. He is real skinny but he eats all the time. They honored him at Golden Corral yesterday and he was floored. He never expected that. We are so honored to have met him. The park is not as full this year at this time like last year. Maybe the economy is keeping people home longer. It has been cooler at night. Going down into the upper 30's to mid 40's and only getting up to 70 during the day. We can actually get cold water out of the cold water tap. Very unusual for living in the desert. But it is going back up into the upper 70's and only going down into the upper 40's to lower 50's at night. We have started our Sorry Dear golf outing we do once a month and it was a great success for the first outing. Everyone had a great time. I know a lot of "Sorry Dears" were said to their prospective partners. Fun is what it is all about. This week we start the golf scramble and that will be fun. Well that is all for now. I have work to do. Hope all is well with your world. It is with ours.
