Thanks to Butch Brooker for coming in to help the Pool Hall Babes today to learn more about shooting pool..   He was so patient with all of us and we all had a good time and besides helping us learn more about shooting correctly...   We appreciate it Butch...

Another Sunday afternoon in the pool hall with the cold wind blowing and a little rain in the mixture...   We had eight teams playing today and some teams were really HOT and some not so hot...but we all had a good time and enjoyed each others company...    We  played seven games and one team won all seven and they were team Liz Pish & Alex Stinson... 

Sunday Pool Players:Two of the teams won five of their games and they were team Bev McEnaney & Terry Steinbeck and team Darlene O'Donaghue & Lonnie Hull...  The last team to be  mention are team Gayle Steinbeck & Paul Kelleher winning four games...     The sign-up sheet is up for next Sunday, January 17th.   start time is at 1;00 P.M.

“When this is over,

                                                                  “When this is over,

may we never again take for granted;
A handshake with a stranger, Full shelves at the store,
Conversations with neighbors,
A crowded theater, Friday night out,
The taste of communion, A routine checkup,
The school rush each morning, Coffee with a friend,
The stadium roaring, Each deep breath! A boring Tuesday. Life itself.

When this ends,
may we find that we have become more like the people we wanted to be,
we were called to be,
we hope to be,
and may we stay that way – better for each other because of the worst.”
—Laura Kelly Fanucci

Golf Anyone?

 

Golf Anyone?

 These 4 fellows were getting ready to tee off. Trophy Gardens and Winter Ranch share a golf course and if you are a resident of either resort golf is free. This is a very nice amenity and one that helped us decide to make Trophy Gardens our wintertime home.

The sky in this photo looks ominous but nary a drop of rain comes out of it. We would all welcome it if it did because it has been far too dry here this fall and winter. And for those of you who golf on a regular basis and have to fight crowds, that does not happen here. There is always a time and a place to enjoy a game. 

New arrivals are asked to self-isolate for 5 days but you can do that on the golf course!

This from Coke Fellenstein Praises galore - Charles should be home with me in about an hour!  They finally found in his old records that he did have aFib previously, and since they were able to verify that it would be safe to put him on the same Eliquis that I take!!!!  Kim will spend one more night here just to be safe rather than sorry.  I am so thankful that we are here so I guess I have to stop feeling sorry for myself for having to leave TX.  Thank to all for the prayers - they worked as they should.  My own prayers are flooding out that we get to continue our lives together.  amen and amen.  God Bless all. Coke

Come join in on a fun Sunday afternoon.
