Summer Activities

Spring time has been wonderful for us this year!  Winter weather was unusually cold and now our spring is unusually beautiful.  Perfect temps and lots of sunshine.

We had fun at Cinco de Mayo:


Our biggest celebration is that we have "Bistro" available!  It makes sense to move the food activity to the ballroom for the summer and it is working out very well.

Our favorite foods are still on the menu AND the prices were all lowered!!  Now it is up to us summer residents to keep this opportunity alive by visiting regularly.


We've had some other fun events for a Summer Picnic Series.  Steve Jones entertained us through the lunch hour last Monday.

Our summer birthdays are being celebrated again.



Looks like we'll have a monthly ice cream social.
A new Poker & Pizza party starts this coming week.


The beautiful annual plants are now gone but we have fresh planting of all new summer sun-loving flowers.




Our devoted and ever hard working Activities staff set up a small Bingo game with lots of prizes.  We had over 70 people in attendance.  We would probably have more but due to beautiful weather, other folks are outdoors playing free golf, water volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, etc.  

We have a monthly coffee and donuts AND our weekly Tapas Tuesday has started.  We had 63 residents present.  More food opportunities.  Our residents LOVE to cook and eat!

 Next Monday is a movie matinee where we can see the movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once".

I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Scavenger Hunt where we'll scatter around the resort looking for the listed items and taking a selfie at each place.

So much to do.  Swoop, Dominos, Rock Painting, and Card Bingo also keep us entertained.

You can view the May newsletter in its new format:


Crews are busy installing the solar panels on top of the administration building.



I still find time to spend with friends that have scattered across the country.  We gather on Facetime, log into Poker Stars and have a weekly tournament.  FUN!


Our neighbors asked us to store their cat condominium for the summer.  Gladly!!  Kat and Mouse really enjoy their new digs.


The other night we enjoyed a beautiful evening when the full moon made it seem like dawn.  It was awesome!  Perfect weather.  


I won't be bragging about the weather for too long as next week's forecast puts us into the 90s where we typically belong at this time.  

Oh well.....we'll just spend more time in one of our four lovely pools.  

Life is treating us well at Palm Creek!
