Chorus, Corn Hole, Recycling, and cats

 Congratulations to the entire chorus and the team that helped with the success of the performance.  It was a delightful evening of music and laughter to get us started with the Christmas season.


Thank you to Arlene Noteman for using sign language skills along with the song.  

**************
I conducted the first of our iPad and iPhone classes last Saturday.  I had to "tap dance" through the presentation due to an electrical problem in the SanTan room and/or a computer glitch but I think we still had a good time and learned a few new tips and tricks.  I only snapped one photo while demonstrating how to fully incorporate the "Contacts" app.  Sue Bernth was my guinea pig. πŸ˜‰

Hope to see you all again at Saturday's class, 9:30.  Bring iPads and iPhones.

***********************
I need to make an addendum to my last blog regarding the horseshoe club.  The Ladies League is scheduled to start on Friday, January 9 at 9:00 a.m.  If you have any questions, contact Jerry Liester at 253-880-7301



Are you interested in playing Corn Hole?  Go down to the "pits" on Fridays at 9:00 for a mixed league.  Should be fun!

RECYCLING

I received this information from Jim & Cathie Phillipson regarding the big wooden recycle bins.

"Last week we put two new recycling bins into operation at Palm Creek. One is at the North Pool recycle area, the other is at the North gate recycle area. These compliment the two existing bins at the Sports Complex and Woodshop recycle areas. These bins are for the collection of CLEAN #1 CLEAR PLASTIC BOTTLES AND JARS WITH SCREW CAPS - ONLY. A description of what is and what isn't acceptable is posted on the front of each bin. 

This is an initiative led by Mesquite Elementary School fifth grade teacher, Rick Wilson, assisted by volunteers in PC. The proceeds from these recycled bottles and jars go to the Casa Grande Food Bank and the Humane Society. 

Many thanks go to Steve Alexander and crew at the woodshop for their wood cutting skills and to Jorge and crew for forklifting the bins into position."

Thought I'd take a moment and thank Dr. Brian Renegar, our Palm Creek resident veterinarian for coming over to examine Kat's eye.  Brian says it's a scratched cornea probably from rough housing with Mouse.  A couple eye drops each day should clear up the problem.  Thank you, Brian!!

Don't forget to mark your calendar for the Craft Fair on Tuesday, December 13.  Great opportunity for more Christmas shopping.

Again....I have been reminded to add some cat pictures to the blog entries.  Here ya go:
Occasionally they rest.  But not for long. 😸😺

Boxes are the best toys!  This one is a double decker.

I get the hint that I've been at the computer too long.

I was reading a good book but Kat got bored.

There are cute cat video games on YouTube.
