Doggie School, Roadrunners, Craft Fair

One would feel very honored to have a pair of young roadrunners using your patio light fixture as an evening resting spot.  It looks a bit crowded and perhaps uncomfortable, don't you think??  No place for those long tails.  Thank you, Laurie Dale for sharing this photo!!!  
I took some nice photos at last week's craft fair and forgot to post them.  Never too late though.  It was the last fair for this season so attendance was high.  I took the photos from the stage so I wouldn't get trampled.



It was nice to see Sharon Marchant here again.  Sharon has stayed at Palm Creek for several seasons until they recently moved to Tucson but she and Larry return for our craft fairs plus Sharon still teaches her beading classes whenever available.

Karen Rust recently graduated another group of canines from their agility and training classes.  Terry Meyers takes some awesome photos of the pups at work.  These are the pictures from 'graduation day' on the 12th of March for the Intermediate Agility class and the Foundation Skills class.


Dogs AND owners have a GREAT time!






 There are many many activities occurring daily at this resort.  Carol Stuart sent a couple pictures of us at the duplicate bridge tables so thought I'd post a couple here too.


So long for today, folks.  I'll probably see many of you cruising around at the patio sale tomorrow.

The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.
She said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."

"Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."

The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information.

After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand.

"Yes?" said the Instructor.

"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries the golf bag while we walk?"

This kind of sensitivity just can't be taught.
