Clayton, Our Leader. He always gets us back.
Somewhere out in the wilderness
Moses Lake'rs Mike and Joyce (a.k.a. "the other one" or "Sr.")
A couple of shady characters, Ernie & Joyce (a.k.a. Jr.) at "Al's Place" (speakeasy)We're getting bad at updating the blog, as this life is becoming "normal" and maybe not quite as new and exciting as in years past. Not that we're getting bored with it, but just more used to it. So, all of the new things (friends, golf, hiking, off roading, socializing, etc.) are now becoming a regular part of our lives, so we don't feel the need to blog as often. But, we will try to make an effort to update on a weekly basis.
The past couple of weeks have found us hiking the back country on Thursdays, golfing a couple times a week, taking the occasional drive, and socializing. Joyce will be joining the Ladies golf group on Wednesday (tomorrow), and I will be playing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. That may be overdoing it, but we'll see. We went to a very rustic golf course on Sunday with a couple from Nampa, Idaho who are also newcomers to the game, and had a great time.
Last night there was a 1930's themed cocktail hour and dinner in the park hall. We had a good time, and got into the spirit by dressing for the time period. The park is divided into 4 sections, with each being responsible for providing entertainment, hosting the weekly meetings, etc. for one month. Our quadrant has the month of March, and we're getting organized for our main event which is going to be a Southern BBQ. I kind of volunteered to be in charge, and cook ribs and chicken. We anticipate serving about 125 people, so it will be a challenge!!
Our White Sulfur Springs, Montana friends ( Tary & Wayne ) arrived in Apache Junction over the weekend, and will be staying nearby until the 1st of March. They're coming for dinner this afternoon, and we'll be doing salmon on the grill.
It's only a month until the Spring Training Baseball games start again, and we have tickets for 3 games. Ron and Diane (friends from Tulsa) will be out for 10 days, begining on the 3rd of March, and we'll be taking in a couple games then. The baseball is great, but there are so many other things to do! I had planned to get a non resident fishing license this winter and get into that a little, but I haven't even been over to the Big 5 store yet. ( this is not whining )
The weather has been great, with temperatures in the 70's. Soon we should be hitting the 80's with overnight lows around 50. I think that we've had a little rain once or twice in January. So until next time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Stay Dry, Ernie
