Wow! Where has the time gone!

12-26-10 - Well we have just spent our first Christmas in AZ since I have retired 15 years ago. It was very different to spend Christmas in the sunshine and 70 degree temps. We have had a fun time and not as stressful as when we are at home in WA.

In fact we spent Christmas day yesterday at " City of Phoenix Stadium". Playing were the Dallas Cowboys and the Phoenix Cardinals were playing. The Cardinals ended up winning the game 27-26. Our pickelball club ran Concession Stand #107. We had a total of about 46 people and were very busy. The people just kept coming for food and more food. It was busy until the end of the 3rd Quarter. Then the crowds seemed to taper off. It was the first time for Ione and myself to work at the Stadium. We get a percent of the profits for our pickleball Club. We are saving money to build three more Pickleball Courts.

We are now packed and will be driving to Oakland in the morning. Will be watching a three day basketball tournament that Evan's Cedarpark Christian School team will be involved in. This is an eight team tournament. So won't be watching a lot of basketball but should be very interesting and then will give us free time for shopping, etc.

then after the tournament is done will be heading back to WA for about 2 weeks. Will be watching Evan's basketball and also our granddaughter Jessica will be playing some basketball with her team.

We will make it home for one of our Christmas get to gathers on the Crabtree side on the 2nd of January. Then will just do what we can until we start heading back to AZ on the 12th of Jan.
