Road Trip

Well we are settled in at Park Sierra.Keeping busy and having fun. Jeni and I headed down to Riverside to see our Grandsons,Aiden and Nevin last weekend. We also went to the Rose bowl to see Arizona State battle UCLA in college football. Our son Dan "painted"the boys up so they looked like real Sun Devil fans."Bring it on baby"!



It was a close game but UCLA prevailed 29-28. The last five games we have attended,the Sun Devils have lost....If anybody finds this little fact out, Jeni and I could be banned from future games IE a Jinx!

Here we all are before the game.My two brothers on the left,Jeni and I on the right,our Grand sons in the middle, and our son and my brothers wife behind them. In spite of the loss,it was a great day. Jeni and I enjoyed the weekend with our family in So Cal.It has been 7 months since we last saw them.....Way too long! Back at the park, Jeni and I keep busy. Me with Maintenance and her with her committees.Its all about comeroderie.Jeni and I have always said, if we lived in a house we would not have met all these wonderful friends. And we would not be as active as we are here.I've learned in retirement you have two choices,you can relax and be sediment and take it easy,or you can live your golden years as an active,engaged person enjoying life in a vibrant active community like Park Sierra. We are staying at the park for Thanksgiving.helping with the dinner and enjoying our extended family.We are planning to spend Christmas with our family down in Sacramento. Then in January the big family cruise with all of us for 5 days.What a fun winter. In February Jeni and I will travel to Arizona for a month to see her brothers and sisters.Yea,its all about the road trips.That's for sure.

Happy Halloween

Well,Jeni has been a busy girl decorating for Halloween.This is her best time of year as she puts up decorations for Halloween,Thanksgiving,and Christmas.The coach windshield will be festive from now til New Years.The people in the park really enjoy her efforts and remark how beautiful our site looks.

Park Sierra held its annual Halloween party Monday night. With some strange characters attending.There was"Fat Friar Tuck"(me) and"Sister Mary"(Jeni).This had to set Religion back a hundred years!

Dracula,looking as pale as ever

New members Niles and Jennifer as Santa and Mrs. Elf.

And, the ugliest,homliest,women I have ever seen.A years supply of beer wouldn't get me to go out with her! Actually its my buddy Wally,there's nothing wrong with his manhood! I don't know how he got that crown,but whoever bestowed that on him,I mean her ,must of been blind!

This looks very familiar,"why is my back starting to hurt"It looks like some kind of form or something...... could it have something to do with the maintenance dept?......Oh well I will have to investigate this matter.









Wait a minute,I see a truck pulling up.What could this mean? The guys are waving me over."What do you guys want"?

OH MAN! I'm pouring concrete again!I thought I was retired.

OH MAN,I'm on my knees again.Poor "Philly!"


Actually I don't mind doing a little cement work to help the park out. It keeps me young ,if only in my Heart.

The weather has been perfect this fall and it is nice to sit outside and visit with the members exchanging summer travel adventures and Grand kid stories with them. This weekend we are off to Riverside to see Dan and the Grandsons.We are meeting up with them and my two Brothers and Martha to go to the ASU-UCLA football game in LA. Saturday, We haven't seen Dan and the boys since last spring so it is high time.

Well,it is "coffee time"for us as we have an afternoon cup of flavored coffee when the temp isn't too warm outside....Happy Halloween!
