Sun Shine, Golf & Partys

SUNSHINE ` 30 `degrees plus this week  



This week has been all about golf and finding some shade..
...
Monday March 6th, and Wednesday March 8th Mary and I played in the Palm Creek club championship., While both of us had done well in the past, this year was not to be. We just had fun. Wednesday nite there was a Pizza night which every one enjoyed.
On Tuesday I went into Phoenix with a couple of friends and played at The Foothills golf Club, nice course, tough greens but not worth the $$ I paid.. Thursday was Dave White with the PC Hackers...then took Friday off 
Friday night was the Brats, Saurkraut, Beer and Marquaritas party hosted by Jerry and Terry. The usual great time was had by all our golf friends and neighbours.  
Saturday was a pool day, (actually we went there nearly every day this week.)
Sunday we golfed with neighbors Bob & Sue at Dave White, the evening was our annual Street party, this years theme was Rock and Roll 

  Over 200 people from the park attended and the band " Live from the 50"s played great old tunes. Couple of guys parked their hot rods just outside our door. There was enough Food and the variety was Yummy, specially the deserts

Woops I'm late

March 7th.. It's Tuesday already, 
Last week, I cancelled out of Monday men's golf, as I twisted my back throwing the Colmen stove out into the street ~ don't laugh, it was fully engulfed in fire, even the small propane canister was shooting out flames. 
 

Three good things::
  1. The flames went out
  2. I saved the bacon
  3. got it fixed.

So make sure you have a solid connection BEFORE you light the flame..
Tuesday we went up to BEAR CREEK, Mary, Bev, Brian and I plus Barry, Alana, Steve and Jill played the CUB course -poured rain for 1 1/2 holes, then the sun came out, later we went to Dave's Famous Ribs in Chandler - lots of fun...and FOOD.
Wednesday was golf in the park for Mary and Bev.
Thursday - golf @ Dave White with the Palm Creek Hackers, Bev took the shuttle to SkyHarbor to head home. That night Mary and I went to the palm Creek Chorus concert as 2 of our neighbors are Choir members, very talented group - great concert.
Friday, the Duel in the Desert pickleball tourny started, park started to fill with pickleballers from all over the states and Canada. Our friend Alana had a small birthday party at Bedillons that evening, more good food and fun.
Saturday we headed up to Mesa Market - some things never change, lots of items but nothing really exciting that we needed. After we stopped in to ValVista park and had a short visit with an old friend Dennis McElroy. 
Sunday we completed the week by going to the PC art show (more talented people) and watching some of the Duel in the Desert.
