Well, here it is Saturday already.  The week passes very quickly.  We've established a comfortable routine starting with rising about 7:30 or so, sipping coffee while checking e-mail and solving crosswords; while Cathy is at morning swim aerobics, Corky and the boys have breakfast and are chomping at the bit for their trek around the Park by the time I return.  As I've mentioned, we are located in the "Pet Section" of the Park where it seems everybody knows each other through their canines.  As you can see, the pups are making lots of friends: 

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we bike to Palm Park to cheer on the Park's softball teams and help support the activity by buying a couple of burgers or dogs at their Home Plate Grill.  Sunshine, ball game and hot dog--It doesn't get much better than that!

And then on Wednesday's, the Park's Poolside Bistro makes a special lunch that we've found to be quite yummy and very reasonably priced.  And the setting is so pleasant!

In the working world, Wednesday was called "hump day," and Fridays would be the "happy hour" day. Remember??? Not here.  There are always several "happy hour gatherings" going on at about 4 p.m. just about any day of the week, just about anywhere in the Park.  This past week we were invited to Bob's & Glenda's.  They live Colorado Springs and are here until the end of February.  They have quite a lively bunch of neighbors whom we enjoyed meeting.  Somebody wanted to learn the "Electric Slide," so Glenda obliged by pulling out the boom box and turning up Billy Ray's "Achy, Breaky Heart."

Neighbor Judy is trying to keep up with Bob.

Glenda's got her groove on!

On Friday evening, the Park held a Cancer Awareness Event that featured a supporter/survivor parade, a silent auction, music, and refreshments (cocoa and cookies).  The streets of the Park are lit up with hundreds of luminaries, each honoring a loved one, cancer victim or survivor.  It's quite impressive.

All lined up ready for the parade

Chick fil A was one of the sponsors of this event

A bit blurry; quite a large group leading the parade!

Here come the golf carts with participants who chose not to walk the mile or so parade route

The rest of today will be filled with laundry chores and a little shopping to get ready for the Super Bowl party at Kimm's & Steve's tomorrow afternoon.  We will go to their home in Chandler after picking up my sister Patty & husband Jim from the airport.  They plan to visit and to soak up some Arizona sunshine for a few days.  

In addition to showing them around the Palm Creek Resort, we hope to visit the Casa Grande Ruins and tour a bit around Tucson.  Will be posting some photos of their visit next week.

Gotta go now--the washing machine is calling me!   Later.
