Tapas Tuesday

Tonight (Tuesday, April 19) was our first Tapas Tuesday of the summer.Thank you to Barb Poole and Glo Mason for chairing the event.  Plenty of "helpers" showed up at 4:00 to help set up tables and chairs in the Santan Room.  Barb planned on maybe 50 people.  WOW.....folks kept coming and coming.  We set up every chair and table we could find to finally accommodate 96 total people.  

It was the perfect opportunity to meet new residents and reacquaint with old friends.  Plenty of delicious food to go around too.  We could have served another 20 easily.  It was too hard to take individual photos of such a large group so I took a quick video.  Go ahead and play the video.  Hit the space bar to pause the replay so you can pick out familiar faces.


This Thursday (the 21st) the Philly Up food truck will be here from 4:30 till 6:30.  The ballroom will be open and available for seating so join your neighbor and come up for an evening out.

Friday night 6:30 is a big dance shindig up at the Cottonwood pool.  Plenty of music, karaoke, and dancing to keep all entertained.  BYOB

Horseshoes has really ramped up this past season and has all courts in full use.  Nancy Slankard is going to start up a ladies group soon.  I used to throw a few years back but I wouldn't let anyone stand near the sand as I never knew if I'd even make it inside the pit.  Those iron shoes can take a healthy bounce when they hit the concrete.  😒😕   (Nancy.....email me an update on your group please.)

Once again I am going to thank Palm Creek landscaping for the beautiful flowers that adorn all the flowerbeds and corner lots throughout the park.  They are just gorgeous this year.  We all especially love the colorful snapdragons.

(and thank you again to Kathy Payne for deadheading and pulling the weeds to keep the beds so beautiful.)


Our 10 day forecast looks beautiful too.
I feel sorry for the folks that had to hurry home to cold rain or snow.


Bob and Nellie Cummings sent me this photo of their yard taken this week.
