March 27, 2009 - Had good friends stop by on their way home from Palm Springs to Chilliwick, BC, the Haworth's, Barry & Carol. Also had Ione's Sis Sherry and Doug stop by and we all went out to Joe Zunie's Cafe at Sun City Grand. They have good food and you can set outside with all different water falls, palm trees, and just like in Hawaii. So was a fun afternoon and the weather was just right with a little breeze and about 75 degrees. Retirement isn't really that bad.
I think Barry may be interested in looking at lots here at Happy Trails and who knows maybe sometime they could be buying a place here.

Where is the time going!!
3-26-09 - Just don't know where all the time goes when you are retired. Did spent a couple of days down in Tucson last week Monday & Tuesday. We spent some time with the Smith's, Koster's & Gray's. Did a dinner at the Texas BBQ in Tucson. Had great food and got to see and talk to old friends. Then spent the night with Sherry and Doug at their motor home and the next day tuesday did a hike at Picacho Peak. The trail was really steep and we didn't make the top as it was really hot but was fun.
The last fews days have been spent doing tennis and pickleball. We had a fun tournament here at Happy Trails today and my team of nine players got 3rd place. We played some good pickleball and won 6 of 9 games. Met some new players that were on my team and was a real fun time. Then tonight we had a great dinner/dance get together for pickleball.
Next on our list is having Jessica our granddaughter coming to visit with two Friends here at our lot at Happy Trails on the 4th of April. They will be spending about five days with us and then she will spent about two days with her Grandpa Rich. So should really be a fun time to spend with the girls playing tennis, pool time, hiking, etc.
We will keep up our work on getting better in tennis and pickleball until we leave in May. The weather has been really good except for a wind storm that has been coming through our valley today.

Lynden Girls Win State in Yakima !!
3-15-09 - Lynden Girls Basketball really arose to the occasion and played a great game on the 14th of March. They had to beat the same team that beat them by 20 points in the District Championship the Archbishop Murphy Team. Lynden just kept those girls under control and played a great game. We were the smaller team as they have two girls 6' and taller. Also had a 5'11" and a couple of 5'10' girls. We played smart, hit some 3's and came away with the Championship by a score of 48-41.

Girls Basketball - State Tournament!
Match 11, 2009 - Our girls got off to a running start in the 2A basketball tournament in Yakima, WA. They beat Eatonville by a score of 55-24. So it was a real breather for them after losing their last district game to Archbishop Murphy by a score of 53-33. So now they will be playing Ellensburg who beat them in a tournament in January by about 6 points. They will be playing at 4 PM tomorrow afternoon. Go Lions.
Time got away!!
Not a entry since the 9th of February. We have been moving and just haven't updated our website. We spend two weeks in Palm Springs doing the Palm Desert tournament. I covered some of the medal we won. So as it turned out Ione won a silver and Bronze and I won two Bronze medals.
Then we moved on to Yuma Lakes on the 13th of February and spend two weeks there. We did dentistry in Mexico, visited friends in the area. Then the last 6 days spent the time in Mexico as we had our motor home decals removed(which were in bad shape) and had them repainted. The job really turned out well and we also changed the colors some. So we now have a new old motor home. So to us it is like a new motor home and we are getting lots of favorable reports on the paint job and new colors.
2-28-09 - We arrived back at our lot here at Happy Trails. We had some cleaning up to do to our lots. We had four different renters well we were gone and they left the lot full of tire marks and just gravel, etc. So got it looking pretty good. We have all our stuff set up and looking good. Then in the last day replaced all the Brick Molding around the shed door. The old was in very bad shape and was white. Installed new molding and painted it gray which really looks great.
We have been busy with pickleball and going here and there. Ione has been sick for the last four days but is now feeling much better. The weather has been very nice during the day and gets cool at night.
