Wow! This has been an awesome autumn season of warm temps and sunny sky. I keep looking for outdoor activities so I don't miss the sun's rays.
The big AAP (American Pickleball Professionals) tournament was held here at Palm Creek this week so the place was busy and active. The crowds were 5-7 deep around the courts during the champion games. Our local pickleball club keeps a great website so you can go there for more photos and information.

I just took a couple casual photos to try to show the crowds of people in attendance.
Tom was super busy gathering action shots with that big camera of his.
Our new pavilion got a good workout.
All the volunteers who worked on the project can take great pride.
Thursday, December 9, 7:00 p.m.
We have a couple events coming up in the next week or so starting with a Christmas sing along sponsored by our Palm Creek chorus. Admission is a non-perishable food item for our Casa Grande Food Bank donation. The program line up is a combo of chorus numbers and audience participation. Come to the ballroom Thursday night, December 9. No ticket necessary. Just bring that food item as your donation.

I spotted this cute golf cart up by the clubhouse today.
The plate says: "Finally.....my 57 Chevy!"
There are always a few cat pictures to share and I hear they are favorites among you readers.
Don was going to warm up the oven for the evening meal but Kat had to check it out first.
No......the heat was not yet turned on.
Mouse on the other hand is camera shy and likes to sleep face down.
Charming Kat accidentally knocked over my glass of water a few weeks ago and it killed the keyboard of my computer. Don agreed to buy me a new one. It arrived in a box....much to the cat's delight.
Buy a cat they said. It would be fun they said.
