On my morning tour

Our weather is so perfect again today!!  It was a little chilly this morning at 56 but at noon it is 80 with a light breeze.  Beautiful!!  I couldn't stay indoors so went for a nice bike ride around the park.

!

Stopped at the main gate to chat with Myron Persing.  Notice he is wearing a light jacket

Flowers and all those little bushes have been removed from the main entrance.

Look at this entry way!  No wonder people fall in love with this place at first sight.

A blog entry isn't complete without at least one flower picture.

This beauty is from Cadwell's at 1059

The activities board is full of fun upcoming events.

Only one table of poker players playing 5 card Omaha.

Nancy just won this hand with quad 8s.  

Go Nancy!!

Next stop was the glass shop.

Sandy Milner created this masterpiece.  

She described it as some kind of solder on glass.

(Way beyond my level of comprehension.)

Beautiful work.

Gym Flader just finished this cute name plate.

Julie Wolf is working on MANY small pieces of clay to make tiles for a table.

Suzette Taylor finished this nightlight lady.

Natalie Aaron is working on a doll.

This gal explained she's been working with pottery for over 30 years.  She's building a whole set of dishes.

New houses are still arriving.  This one came in today on Shimmering Sand.  Site 1241.

The new Cottonwood pool as we call it, isn't ready for use yet but mama duck thinks it's perfect for her and her 8 ducklings.

Remember when I posted this picture on April 27 and said it would be fun to watch it grow?

Well................they're growing alright!

Meanwhile, back home, Kat and Mouse are busy chatting with a brave dove.

And......some things never change.  

No privacy in the bathroom!

Have a GREAT day.  Keep those emails coming.

Love hearing from you.  What else would you like to see on the blog?

Casa Grande Update

Today's Casa Grande Dispatch had an informational testimonial from the city Mayor regarding the status of the major proposed projects we've been hearing about.  If you click on each article, you should be able to enlarge it for reading.

Phoenix Mart:

Lucid Motors:

Sam's Club Property

Dreamport Villages (Proposed Multi-Million Dollar Amusement Park)

***************************************

Another newsworthy item from the RC Flying field.  About 30% of their members are Palm Creek enthusiasts.

Don doesn't need Dreamport Villages for entertainment.  He slips on those goggles and can fly anywhere in the world he wants to be. 

I watched this man busy at work sweeping gravel from the curbs back onto the lots.

His cart looks like he's also picking up debris from the trees and, in general, working hard to keep our resort looking its best.

I stumbled across this cute video of when Mouse was just a baby.  So cute!!!

Weed Control Misunderstanding

Whoops..........there is a misunderstanding about the new weed control company.  On Wednesday, May 15, I posted:  "Here is the new contractor who is going to take care of weeds for all of us."

I did NOT mean that the contractor was going to do individual sites.  I just meant that they were spraying for the resort.  Sorry if I caused confusion.  Homeowners are still responsible to maintain their own sites.  It was poor wording on my part.

Here is the new contractor who is going to take care of weeds for all of us.

Nice truck!

GM News

Big news!!  Our General Manager, Kevin Flynn, is retiring at the end of this month.  He has probably watched us "creekers" enjoying ourselves so much that he wants to spend time with his family and friends too.  We wish him well.

The main pool is clean and full of fresh sparkling water once again.

But it looks like Eddie is still struggling with the machinery in the pump house.

John is still working on installation of electric lights replacing the solar.

Our crews are busy all over the park with trimming the zillion bushes & shrubs.

This beautiful plant resides at Site 275.  I googled the photo with Google Lens and see that it is a form of Calibrachoa from the petunia family.

Check out this beauty at Site 714.

Julie has been busy making sure her cactus has permanent blossoms!

😉

I continue the same old story of how beautiful our weather has been.  

What a gift!!  It is 12:00 noon right now and only 80 degrees.  Love it!!

Say Hi to Jim and Diane Reese as they were out cruising this morning.

I checked with the mail room this morning.  They still have about 350 open mailboxes to tend.  That's a rough guess of about 600 people still here to enjoy this weather.
