Busy Times Feb 26

Wow have I been busy...Seems like I've had something to do every day this month and I love it.
The highlite of the past couple of weeks has been Mom's visit. She's been here since last Thurs (19th) and will stay till Monday (Mar 2). She and I have done several things around the park and also spent time just sitting around reading and talking. Sometimes we let Reid sit with us and talk too. LOL.
Since my last post we've had a luncheon, block party, and a supper all here at the park. I had fun at all of them. This past week Mom and I have gone shopping, went to the Craft Fair, Church on Sunday, Riverside for Shrimp and fries and to the Crazy Buffet. Reid went to eat with us both times. Tomorrow we're driving a couple of hrs to see a family friend of Mom's. We'll make a day trip out of it. Poor Lady can't go.
Several are starting to pack up and leave the area. Some are heading home whereever home is, some are heading west for a while and others are heading to various places. Our friends Larry and Phyllis are leaving this weekend and even though it's been a short couple of months with them we've had fun. We've made plans to see them again this summer. Saying good bye is always hard but we know we'll see them down the road somewhere.
My golfing is going slow. Now that people are starting to leave the area the course want be so crowded and we plan on me getting on the course starting in March. I am going start taking beginning lessons on Tues with another lady from the park..
I guess that's all I have more later.

Golf anyone Feb 11

I decided that I would try my hand at golf. I've never been on a course before and don't know a wood from an iron but it's very popular and I'm asked all the time to play so I decided there might be something to it, I'll give it a whirl. Right now Reid is my instructor. We've been to the driving range a couple of times and to the putting greens once. I thought it might be a good way to spend a couple afternoons a week and get some excerise. I have plenty to keep me busy in the mornings but by afternoons are mostly free. Various groups play throughout the week but I want get on the course with them this year maybe next season.
Reid's Mom is coming to visit next week. It will be fun having her here. She and I can do lunch on the days Reid's on the course. I know we'll have fun we always do.
The first week of Feb was very windy. We had 4 days in a row that the wind never stopped blowing. This week has been better...the temps are great and the winds have calmed down so much.
I have another busy month with activities at the rec center and of course we stay busy on weekends having friends over for cookouts or card playing. This will start to slow down in March as people start to pack up and head south again.
I need to call it a night since I have a 7:15 am aerobics apt in the morning.
Can you imagine me getting up for aerobics that early. Bye now
