The last Hurrah in the park before everything was cancelled due to the Coronavirus. 

50's Dance with awesome 50's music kept everyone dancing. Some were dressed for the event in their poodle skirts and neck scarves.  Peggy had "Pink Ladies" on the back of her pink jacket. 

Everyone had a great time.

3rd Annual Fishing Derby!

Last Saturday, February 29th, our pool was stocked with fish (plastic with metal noses) and we partook in the 3rd Annual Fishing Derby.  Our rods had a magnet at the end of the line instead of a hook.

We were divided into teams. There were 8 teams of 8 people and we had 7 minutes to catch as many fish as we could reel in.

There were helpers, so we didn't have to unhook our own fish!


In the end my team came in second catching 71 fish. 







Keeping with the theme, afterwards there was dinner of fish tacos. 

Karaoke finished the day, however we didn't stay very long. 

It was quite a lot of fun, lots of laughs and it was very well attended.

While Tina and I were being creative Michel and Rich went hiking. 

They drove out to Indian Canyons where there are over 60 miles of hiking trails. 

They started at Andreas Canyon, which is 1.2 miles and considered the world's second largest California Fan Palm oasis. 

Hikers will be rewarded with spectacular views of rock formations, sycamores, cottonwoods, willows, and the magnificent California Fan Palm (Washingtonian filifera), all surrounded by the harsh desert environment.



Victor was their second hike. This trail is one of the most scenic trails in the Indian Canyons. The Victor Trail will take the hiker out of the shade of the palm trees, up and onto the ridge that overlooks the canyon and return the hiker to the Trading Post making a three mile loop.

My doll after the foil and half wrapped in tape.

Time for another Artsy Fartsy day! I feel so blessed that Maureen includes me (and Tina) in all her classes.  This time it was not painting, it was sculpting. Very small class this time. 

Beginning with a form which we made using wire we created the body, arms, legs and head then covered them with aluminum foil. 








Then we wrapped her in masking tape creating a mummy.












Then came the messy part. The doll was again completely wrapped in fabric, dipped in a bronze mud of sorts. 

(L to R) : 
Maureen's doll, Tina's doll, and my doll. 

It was certainly something I have never done before, but I can honestly say I would love to do again!!

Glennis, Maureen, Tina, Myself, Carol, Penny, Gail.

Maureen and Gail used a different brand of mud, thus theirs is a pinkish color rather than bronze. The picture on the right is all of us girls standing behind our creation.  Glennis's doll is not in the picture.
