Block Party

Yesterday Anna and I were invited to attend a Block Party at Snow and Sun RV Park by our friend Mark. The event consisted of music ( provided by two fellows in the neighborhood), food, lots of visiting, and plenty of wind.

I met lots of interesting people there. This lady is singing Karaoke and is from Newfoundland. She sang with all her might. The band was in the shelter but most of the rest of us sat outside.

I think it was one of the windiest days we have experienced here. The palm trees were really swaying. However, everyone  was in good spirits.













As I had never toured around this Park before Mark was kind enough to take me on a tour with a golf cart.
The Park is very self contained and has a swimming pool and hot tub, library, pool table room, gym, games rooms, and a  huge Rec Hal.  Outside there are horseshoe pits and lawn  shuffleboard. Some of the homes and yards in the Park are very impressive and are selling at very reasonable prices.

The Park also has trails along the north side of it which is like being in the country. From there, Mark pointed out the Bill Gates School across the way.    Bill Gates built this school and  covers all the expenses for its operation.To get into this school you have to have a high grade point average. They are in the process of building on to it and when they are finished it will be twice the size that it is now.





This afternoon some of us went out to Trails End for dancing. Us girls got to practice our line dancing again of course. It was 36C today, the hottest day we have had here so it was nice to be inside where it was cooler.  We returned to the Park just in time to watch a movie at the Rec Hall. It was a true story about a family that survived the Tsunami in Thailand. I left the Hall counting my many blessings.

Tomorrow I am going to Mercedes to listen to  Leslie and the fellow who won Best Male Singer of the Year Award here in the Valley sing. It should be a good show. They are supposed to sing outside but rain is in the foercast so they may have to move it indoors.

As I have said before, there is always something happening in the Valley.

Keep warm.
