Well we made it to mission the day be for Christmas and have been having a great time. I will try an give you an idea of our routine. Tuesday through Friday Lynn does Water Aerobics at 8:30 am, and I walk the entire park, about two miles. Tuesdays Lynn goes to Line Dancing Class, Thursdays we have a Spanish Class. I think about three more years and I will be able to count to ten. We take a Country Dance lesson on Thursdays. I take a photo class on Tuesday mornings. I play shuffle board on Tuesday's and Thursdays and also play Water Volleyball on those days. Lynn has done some sewing classes also. Their are just to many activity's to mention. Every week one of the blocks puts on a dinner. Our block did a Spaghetti Dinner last week, we served 312 people. They had a variety show last week that was very entertaining. A couple of weeks ago there was a park wide craft competition and I entered four photographs and won four Blue Ribbons. Lynn goes shopping with the girls on the block every week and she always has fun. Every evening there is a cocktail hour at somebodies place on the street. Every month we have a block party, more drinking and eating. The middle of March the bock is having the big end of winter party, this year is a Circus Theme so we have to dress up in costumes. We generally spend every afternoon at the pool keeping cool. I will post a few pictures of our activities. We will head home the first week in April.
