2015.02.06 Ferguson Lake

I don't know these people, but there really are fish in this river. =D

I guess that I just need to start shooting selfies if I'm going to be in any of the photos.

We spent the afternoon on the river again. This time we headed to Martinez Lake and Ferguson Lake. The guys (bless their hearts), keep trying to catch fish, but so far have been unsuccessful.  We have run into other people that are catching fish though, so we know that there are fish in the river. We all decided that so far, Ferguson Lake is our favorite. It is very remote and nothing but the scenery around there to enjoy.

2015.02.05 Pickleball Round Robin and Anniversary

Happy Anniversary! 44 Years!!!!

International Space Station (No tripod)

We had a pickleball round robin this morning and Jeff and I both played. Neither one of us made it to the finals, but we sure had fun. I love playing pickleball and like the round robins which gives me a chance to play with many different people.  

Dona and Mike are celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary today, so we went to the pool and cooked a steak dinner on the grill. It was a really nice evening and we all had a great time.  While we were at the pool, the international space station flew over.  This picture is hand held, so it is very blurry. It went over in a hurry, as it moves at 7 km per second. 

2015.02.04 Pool Day

We didn't really do to much today, other than hang out by the pool. That is the first time this year that we were able to do that too. After the pool, Dona cooked some super awesome shrimp fajitas for us then everyone enjoyed ice cream bars for dessert.  

2015.02.03 Palm Canyon Hike

The four of us took a little drive (about 65 miles) and headed north to go hike at Palm Canyon. We had been told how beautiful it was and that it was a flat hike. That would be good for Jeff, since hiking is hard on his knees (mine too, if it's too steep). Turns out that it was beautiful up there, but it wasn't exactly what I had expected and it definitely was not flat. The palm trees were lining a ravine going up the side of a mountain, and I had kind of expected that we would be hiking right next to the trees and that there were lots more of them. It was still kind of neat to see them and we were there at the right time of the day, as the sun was lighting them up. One thing about the Arizona desert, the terrain changes all the time and there is always something to do or see.

2015.02.02 Golf Group

Jeff and I have a busy, busy day on Mondays. We play pickleball in the morning, then we golf with a group of friends in the afternoon. After golf, there is always a happy hour at someone's house and there are usually about 30-40 of us that attend. We always have a good time, with a great group of people.

2015.02.01 Superbowl Sunday

We spent Superbowl Sunday with Dona and Mike. The Seahawks were playing the Patriots in Arizona. Of course we were rooting for the Seahawks, but it just wasn't meant to be. Before the game, we headed to the driving range to hit a couple of buckets of balls. We are trying to keep our golf game up, but we really don't get that much time to golf. 

Brandy had sent Jeff a Jelly Belly game for his birthday and we decided to play it during the football game. The jelly beans can look the same, but some of them are laced with nasty flavors, like barf for skunk. Lucky for me, I didn't get any of the nasty flavors, because I'm pretty sure that I would have puked. Dona and Mike ended up with the icky ones. They are pretty sure that Jeff and I rigged the game. =D

2015.01.31 New Bike

This is my new wheels for getting around the park. I bought a bike from someone at the park wide rummage sale that they had in January, but it was raining that day and I didn't ride the bike first, and it turned out to be a little bit too small, so I sold that and bought a brand new bike. Nothing fancy, just something to use to get around the park.
