A busy week

Say Good Morning to the hard working, dedicated troop of Urban Miners that take care of our recycling program here at Palm Creek.  These folks have been in charge of the recycling for the past several years.  Special kudos to Kent and Leslie Evans (on the left) as they maintain the recycling program all through the hot summer as well.  The "gang" does their work in the early wee morning hours and then huddle up in the bistro for coffee and camaraderie. 
 
 We had a nice morning coffee on Thursday as a thank you to many of our volunteers.  They were from all areas of the park.  Thank you to one and all.
 
The fire pits were very welcome in the early morning.
 
 
Later in the afternoon, we held a FUN Picasa class to learn more about my favorite photo editing program.  Eager students will meet again next week for phase 2. 
 
Friday I attended a Facebook and a Pinterest class conducted by park managers.  Palm Creek Facebook page is becoming more active now.
 
 
Cate Leu has a new Assistant to help her through the myriad of activities and duties to keep our park running smoothly.  Say hello to Christie and welcome her aboard.
 
 
Saturday was busy again starting with the big card sale up in the Santan Room.  Avis Gray and her brother have this sale each year where you can stock up on Hallmark greeting cards, party supplies, Scentsy products, and many more fun items.  We worker bees were busy helping with set up.
 
Great turnout! 
 
Later Saturday afternoon, some avid Omaha poker players gathered in the Adobe Room for some action.  Again.....we thank Sun Communities for all the new chairs and tables.  Thank you, Thank you.  Much appreciated! 
 
 
 
The weather this week has been perfect for our softball teams as they held a big tournament Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 
 
 
What a lovely day to head out there for a delicious hamburger!
 
 
 
Many folks truly enjoyed a bit of shade under the new tent canopy by the ball field.
 
 
 The grill did a great job.  Thanks!
 
 
If I were a weatherman in Arizona, I would begin to wonder about my job security.  Forecast has been the same day after day this winter.  60-75+ by day, cooling to a wonderful 45 by night.
Sunshine.  Sunshine.  Sunshine.  We LOVE it!
