So much FUN!!!!
There's just no time for posting to the blog when there is so much FUN stuff going on around the park. I'll just post a bunch of photos to show why I've been too busy to write and YOU are probably too busy to read until you get home anyway.
Must have lunch via the Bistro so we get some of the wonderful french fries served up by Robin and crew.

Many afternoons are spent playing cards or other games in the Adobe Room. Gayle and Dale have a beautiful custom made Pegs and Jokers board....handpainted.
Maybe we celebrate a birthday or two.....especially for Peggy Browne.
or Marilyn Roemer
Of course, Don and I enjoy going out to dinner.....especially when we get to use a gift certificate from a friend.
The shuffleboard courts are filled to capacity almost every day they play.
Many more Mahjong players than ever before.
I don't worry about Don being entertained. He bought a new gizmo for his flight sim so has spent hours re-rigging the equipment. What a mess. (He loves it!)
The tennis club holds special pot luck and happy hour sessions.
Last week they were serenaded by Joyce Welch and her musical group. Fun!!
Across the way was a busy dog park. I enjoy watching the pups at play.
Then comes theater night with the big screen in palm park. Bring a lawn chair and watch a movie.
Marion and crew will pop the popcorn!
Dog agility held an awesome event where owners put their pets through their paces on the agility track. Congratulations to one and all for all the hard work and dedication.
Notice a full softball game happening in the background and I'm certain the pickleball courts were full all at the same time. This place is BOOMING with activity!!
Saturday "the Geeks" were here and gave a class on using smartphones. Everyone came away with new information. We had a HUGE turnout and almost had to go looking for more tables and chairs. I send a very sincere "THANK YOU" to the folks that came early to help set up.
Jim and Chris Guld are the "Geeks" who teach. Their seminars are fun, informative, and well-worth the time. We're so excited to get them to our park for a few days.
Today's Geek class was about how to create a blog to record your travels & adventures. We had several folks there who maintain the blogs for some of our clubs and activities.
Of course, there's always time to celebrate at a happy hour. The one down the street from us even had a live rock and roll band with tables and tables full of potluck foods. Wow!
BIG Crowd!!
One of our hosts for the event:
Jacques and Pat Avery
Did I ever mention that I LOVE living here????

Here's the message from Alan Friedman:
The officers and members of The Casa Grande RC Flyers were sorry to learn of the impending closure of the Palm Creek Golf & RV Resort airfield on May 1, 2017. We want their Palm Creek club members to know that we would welcome them as members of our club, if they desire to join. Many of our members started in this wonderful hobby at Palm Creek.

New Theme Park Coming to Casa Grande??
More growth for the Casa Grande area?? A company is proposing to build a huge theme park just south of town near the intersection of Hwy 8 and 10. You can read about it at this link:
Here's more information from the parent company:
Phoenix Mart
Most of us have now heard about the proposed Phoenix Mart coming to Casa Grande. Construction has started. It will be located east of town on Hwy 287. Just follow Florence Blvd straight out of town for a couple miles and you'll see the site on the left.
This article recently appeared in a local magazine and explains the purpose of the project. (Thank you to Julie Wolf for sending the link to me.)
