Yes, We Are Alive!!!

Yes, We are alive! Yes, I did recuperate from the cough and cold but it did take a month. Yes, I have been negligent in keeping all of you updated with our activities for the past two months.

So, here goes a summary of our activities. We have become very involved with the social and physical activities at the Superstition Mountain Resort where we were staying. Our routine activities have included poker 3 times a week for Barb and a photoshop elements class for me once a week. In addition, we went to classes to learn line dancing and square dancing. So we are novices at all of it, but have had a fun time trying to learn. In addition, we began taking lessons in playing pickleball and even participated in tournement. No we did not qualify for any medals but every one thought we looked cute in our matching outfits.

Other organized activities included the Mind Games and the Cactus Classic. The mind games were in January and Barb was involved in the planning for our "neighborhood" (our team). The park is divided into 5 neighborhoods that compete in challenging mind games such as sudoku, scrabble, jigsaw puzzles, and several card games. This competition lasts a week and is quite a bit of fun.

Then in February we had a week of physical competition in the Cactus classic. Again we were divided into our neighborhoods as teams. Barb and I competed in Bocce Ball and did look cute again in our matching outfits. We also attempted ring toss. I was on the photo shoot commitee and was busy taking pictures of as many activities as I could.

So our time was busy with planned events as those above and with unplanned dinners, cocktail hours and other gatherings. It seemed that Barb and I had very little time to just sit back and relax.............but being busy and being with friends is wonderful. We are grateful for all of the good times we had with everyone and look forward to returning in November of 2007 for a new season.

We left SMR on last Sunday, spent two nights at the Freightliner parking lot, so that they could do some recall and other maintenance work on the motorhome.

We are now in Needles, CA. We are staying at the NorthShore Resort which is a affiliated with the membership park program that we bought into last year. We can stay at this park or any of the others for two weeks and then have to leave for a week. Then back again for two weeks if we want. We chose this park because it is close to Laughlin and Barb can relax and play poker for the week. And I now have the time to update this Blog as well as other programs that have been ignored.

We will stay here until April 12 and then move on to Las Vegas and stay at the $8/night membership park. Vegas, as you know, is where Robyn, Scott and the grandkids, Zack and Ashley, live. So we are really looking forward to spending time with them.

In addition, my niece, Tamara, will be coming to Vegas a few days to visit with us and Doug, Barb's brother, will also be there for a few days. So that should be fun busy times.

More to come..................more about us.............and more pictures. Oh, by the way, my computer crashed. Had to send it back to Gateway. I am using the new laptop we purchased just 3 days before the crash. How about that for timing!!!!

Love and hugs to all of you,
Linda and Barb
