Parade of Homes

Parade of Homes

Just FYI -- The sales office is conducting two "Parade of Homes" showings twice a week during this busy season.  Meet at the sales office at 9:00 on Tuesdays and/or Fridays.  They show 5 pre-owned homes and 2 new models on each tour....rotating each time.  They have sold 13 homes in the last two weeks!

Roller Derby & our GM in Uniform

When is the last time you watched a roller derby on TV?  It has been quite a few years for us so when we saw this special event advertised on Nextdoor, we bought tickets.  What FUN!  These gals are in excellent shape and obviously train a great deal.

We so enjoyed watching the action that we didn't really remember to take a lot of photos.  They had a good attendance too and have quite a big following.  The bleachers were the best seats.  (Hint:  take along a cushion to sit on.)

This night was just a special event.  Here is the schedule for their real season games.  See you there!

Hey!!  Look who is one of our newest softball players!  Our General Manager, Scott Houle, is an official member of the Vipers softball team and played a double header this week.  Three cheers for our new manager!!

Meatloaf Dinner and Mahjong donation

Our Palm Creek Mahjong club recently made a generous donation to the Valley Humane Society. Thank you to our club members for their support. Pictured: Denise Gaither, Crystal Fox (Shelter Manager), Sue Hepler.

Congratulations to Denise as she made it home without adopting one of the many kittens at the shelter.  They are soooo adorable.  

Our General Manager, Scott Houle and his wife, Marguarite (Sales Manager) were on hand to greet and serve us at the recent restaurant style meatloaf dinner.  Food was great as usual.  Thank you to Robin Perry and her staff for excellent service and a delicious meal.  

Robin says next month will be a taco dinner.  Yum!

I opened a new bag of cat food and poured it into my container.  It must have smelled like a fresh cup of Folgers to our Kat.

He couldn't resist a quick taste.

Beautiful Weather, Bingo

What absolutely perfect weather we have been having.  

Look at this gorgeous sky.  What a great day for a balloon ride above the park.

This week's Monday night bingo winners.  David was a lucky winner on the starburst number for a grand total of $253.  Greg won game twelve for $120.  Congratulations!!

Bonnie Sewell's Android class was learning how to post videos to You Tube.  We also shared various apps that are useful and fun.  You can join us on Tuesday afternoons at 2:00 in the Ocotillo Room.

Dinner, Health Fair, and more

These nice seasonal decorations are a great way to impress our newcomers as they approach the front office.

Congratulations to Robin Perry and her staff for a delicious Autumn Dinner!  We enjoyed a lovely meal with pork chops, potatoes, veggies, rolls, and great dessert.  We so appreciate our upgrade to good china, real silverware, and glasses.  Those of us who have been here a few years remember paper plates and plastic forks.  

Also a big thanks to the staff for their prompt and very organized serving.  We all received our food timely and fast while the food was still hot.  That's 16 tables of 8 people each.  It was a good crowd and great service!

We look forward to the upcoming meat loaf dinner on Thursday, November 14.  Stop by the Bistro or the Activities office to purchase your tickets for $11 per person.  Dinner will be served from 4:30 - 6:30 pm.  There is no specific time you have to be in by.  Sounds like something new.

Hello to Ron & Alex from the Special Events team.

WOW!!  I've never seen such a well groomed poodle!  He is just beautiful!!  Richelle says the secret is to use the right products on the right breed of dog.  She must know her stuff!!!

Family Dentistry is holding a raffle for a free bleaching.

The Joint was offering a free back massage and advertises their full line of services.  Two doctors on staff and open seven days a week.

Gary Keller was present with a representative from Zilis advertising for their magical CBD oil.  I can personally vouch for the product as it certainly help me with my arthritis!  It has also dramatically helped Gary with his Parkinsons problem.  

Bob and Julie are signing up to get their flu shots from Walgreens.

Rita Mullins and her daughter, Marcia, are present to talk about their Silver Stretchers class.

Yoga anyone?

April Crimmins has several classes for us regarding fitness and exercise.

Dee Dee was present to talk about the line dance classes.  Hopefully she will soon be able to get her group transferred to the ballroom as her class size is growing.

As I was leaving the event, I spotted these behind the scene elves getting the decorations ready for the Veterans Day breakfast.  Looks like some very nice decorations for an important event.

Don walked home from poker the other night and stopped to admire the fountain.  Hopefully future expansion plans will put this kind of fountain at all the locations.  Really looks nice!

AND............it is wonderful to have the new LED lights along the path through the course.  

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

Meanwhile back home, I found Kat and Mouse comfortably tucked away in Don's closet for their morning nap.  They need a mid morning nap after being awake and rambunctious at 5:30am.  They are adorable furry alarm clocks but I haven't learned how to adjust their awake settings!

Bingo and Baseball

Bingo started it's first night of the season on Monday.  We already had 96 people in attendance.  We'll have more each week as the season develops.

Congratulations to the big winners!

Mike was the grand winner of $126 and Deborah won $90.  

Today was the start of the Softball season.  

Come out and cheer for our teams.  It's so much fun to watch.  A complete game schedule is posted on their blog site:  Softball Schedule

Games are played every Tuesday and Thursday.  Palm Creek has a total of six teams so you're bound to find friends on each team to cheer for.

Watch the game and enjoy a delicious burger or breakfast burrito from the sports grill.  

Connie and her team will be happy to serve you.

Do any of you have a Sun Communities gift card?  If you do, stop in Activities and get it changed before you try to use it.  They have a new point of sale system now that won't recognize your card unless you upgrade it to a new one.  Stop in at your leisure to get it changed so you avoid any aggrevation at a check out counter.

New cards look like this:

**By the way, they make WONDERFUL gifts.

Kat celebrated his two year anniversary in the Hepler household.  

He's my little buddy and loves to keep me company when I'm working.

Great weather, hostess hut, witches, RC Flyers Club

Look at this weather forecast!  It is BEAUTIFUL.  Those of you still up in snow country should be very envious.

Halloween brought out the witches.  Most of these gals have been playing Pegs & Jokers together every Thursday afternoon for over 10 years!

Nancy Flader, Barb Nelson, Diane Reese, Linda Steward, Sue Hepler, Avis Gray

This roller derby has been advertised on NextDoor and in the local paper.  Sounds like fun so we are going to check it out.

Welcome to the "Host Hut".  Life will be so much nicer for our hosts and hostesses as they spend most of their shift outdoors greeting newcomers to the park.  

Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 9 to see the events at the Casa Grande RC Flyers site.
