Today we went over to the dark side ( NON-PET) on the golf course. Marilyn had a brunch for all of us at her friends park model on the golf course. I missed taking photos of the brunch. OPPS But I did get a photo of a road runner eating parts of our brunch.
Then I took more photos of the cactus bloom
Then Teri and I took Flat Stanley to the pool for a swim. He even played with a young boy. I did have to save Flat Stanley as he is heavier then water.
Another hard day in paradise.
Flat Stanley starts the day with a dog ride on Patch our neighbor's dog.
Blue had a busy afternoon and needed a rest in the shade.
On the way to the Jazz Concert we spotted a cactus in bloom. These blooms only last 24 to 30 hours.
In the evening we went to a jazz concert supplied by the local school. All the proceeds going to the Middle School music program. All in all it was a great concert.
Us at the concert. I drink the beer and Teri gets fuzzy!
Last night Shelby our youngest granddaughter asked if we would help ‘Flat Stanley’ travel for a grade 2 project.
Shelby e-mailed us this letter
Hello!
I am writing to you from my Grade 2 classroom at Paradise
Hill School. My teacher's name is Mrs. Squair. She read us a very funny
book called Flat Stanley. This book is about a young boy who becomes
flattened from a bulletin board falling on him during the night. When
Stanley is flat, his family realizes how easy and cheap it is for Flat Stanley
to travel. They can just put him in the mail !
We each made a Flat Stanley, and chose someone to send him to.
Please show Stanley around your town, but don't forget to send him back to
me by the end of May!
Please write a letter and send pictures or mementos of Stanley's
adventures in your community that you think would be interesting to my
class and I.
Thank you so much for your help with this project!
This morning ‘Flat Stanley’ arrived in the inbox of my e-mail. This is part of Flat Stanley’s ADVENTURE.
We printed Flat Stanley out then took him to Staples so he could grow and get a raincoat. Then we had a milkshake and hung around the campsite watching Teri play with stained glass.
More Blue pics
Blue is getting as long as a broom. Notice how the best toys do NOT come from the pet store.
We have been taking Blue to Puppy School at Pet Smart here in Casa Grande. Today Blue graduated.
The rest of the day Teri was working on Stained Glass and I golfed 18 holes for the first time this year. Scored a 41 on the back nine and then warmed up and shot a 34 on the front nine of this par 3 golf course.
Today we went to the Tiffin Rally in our park to see the display of Tiffin Motorhomes.
On the way we ran into a very aggressive Killdeer then noticed the nest of eggs.
I finished my carved spoon and have been putting it to use measuring Coffee.
Teri did find a Tiffin she liked ($270,000). We will keep our Kountry Star.
First of all we have a dove that built a nest in a basket on a bicycle behind Bob’s motorhome. The eggs have hatched and the chicks are growing well.
