A New Year

Well, it is 2011 already and where did all the time go? It is amazing how fast time flies the older you get. 2010 went out with a bang. It turned cold here and there has been a few snow flurries sighted. What a cruel joke on us here in sunny Arizona. LOL! I have volunteered for a new job here at our park. I am now in charge of our Activity Dept. I have received a good response from a lot of the other residents and I am hoping things go smoothly for the next 3 months. Please pray for me as this is a little new to me. I have run offices before and I have been in customer service for years and I will be drawing on those experiences to pull me thru. I have 5 fantastic ladies working for me and I hope we become good friends. They have a lot of ideas and are very hard workers. I am already working on next years New Years Eve party. In snowbird country, you have to book your entertainment a year in advance. Wish me luck. We really love this park and the people that come back year after year. That is why we came back and that is why I volunteered for this position. I want us to continue to have fun. We have a neighborhood coyote that I got to see for the first time Friday. He almost walked right in the front gates of the park but got spooked by a passing car and ran off. I guess the hosts' see him on a regular basis. This park is in the middle of a residential area. The park was here and the town grew around it. So I was a little surprised to see this coyote so close to us. Just hope the people with little animals keep a close eye on them. We have seen a lot of beautiful sunrises and sunsets lately. I just never seem to have my camera with me. Rick is still singing in the choir at Sunscape RV park and loves it. They have about 30-35 people in the choir and they sound great! We are still doing our once a month Sorry Dear golf outing and everyone seems to be enjoying that. You know, I am the one with the pencil and figures out who wins and I have not won yet. Something is wrong with this picture! Maybe one of these days I might win a buck or two. LOL! We keep hoping it will warm us soon. I know this cold weather is not good for the plants. Night after night of 20 degree weather for plants that only see that once or twice a season is not good. I know all of my family and friends that live up north in snow country are not feeling sorry for me. They are probably laughing right now. But that's ok. I know this won't last as long as it will in their neck of the woods. I want to wish everyone a Very Happy and Healthy New Year!!!
