Tis the Season

Thanksgiving has come and gone so now it’s time to decorate for the Christmas holiday.  The front foyer up at the reception desk looks warm and welcoming.  I hope you folks back east or up north can read the weather report on the TV set to see that we’re in the 70s by day with lots of sunshine.

And the “Giving Tree” is asking for gifts to be donated to needy children.

The third section of the new sewing room arrived and all three pieces are now in place up by the north side of the ballroom.

I’ll post an on-line album here showing many photos of the pieces being brought into place. 

Inside the current sewing room, the ladies are hard at work.

A lot of charitable work is created here by making quilts, pillow cases, baby blankets, little dresses, etc. for needy people in the community and sometimes over seas.  These busy bees make a great contribution with their labor of love.

Since I was in the neighborhood, I made a quick stop at the stained glass room.  Even though there was a sign on the door about being closed for a class, they were kind and didn’t chase me out.  I caught them hard at work at their masterpieces.

These craft rooms are always busy.

On the way home, while camera was still charged, I found a few more Creekers enjoying the day.

I believe pickleball has the largest group of participants.  Their bulletin board tells the story about how many different levels of play, times of play, lessons, etc. etc.  There should be some play for everyone at all skill levels.

Tuesday must be men’s day by the looks of the golf course.

Shuffleboard was just gearing up and cleaning the courts to get ready for play.

It looks like work continues with the construction of the Palm Creek float.  Must be ready for the big parade this coming weekend.
