We departed Milwaukie, Oregon on New Year's day and arrived at our winter home at Cat Spa on the 2nd. Finally toured the Visitors Center at Pyramid Lake, very interesting and worth the stop.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vista_del_Lago_…
We've been spending some quality time with our friends Phil and Dee who we met over four years ago while volunteering at Nehalem Bay State Park.
Tonight we had a great time sipping, snacking and playing pickleball while admiring a beautiful sunset. Sometimes it feels like we never left our neighborhood in Gresham...Chad, Leslie, Mike and Paula all lived within a block of us and are also our neighbors here at Cat Spa.En savoir plus

We've had a great week doing the "usual": lots of pickleball, wine tasting and hanging out with friends. Friday we helped put up new wind screens at the pickleball courts then dined at Filipe's where we enjoyed excellent margeritas and mexican fare. Saturday we attended William Florian's tribute to John Denver. William has a great voice and is an excellent entertainer. http://florianmusic.com/index.htm
Today we had a ladies lunch at Panera. It was nice to get together in a testosterone free zone. 😉 Many thanks to Heather for organizing the lunch and for her thoughtful gifts.En savoir plus

Last Thursday we met Kathy, Jim, Betsy and Gene in Indio for lunch at TKB, one of our favorite sandwich shops in the area. https://www.tkbbakery.com/
Sunday, Randy was invited to play with the "big kids" on the pickleball courts and held his own. Late Sunday night through Tuesday was very windy with gusts up to 60 mph💨 No outside activities but we did see M. Night Shyamalan's new movie, Glass. Really enjoyed it, especially since we watched the first two movies of the trilogy, Unbreakable and Split, the night before.
As usual Leslie hosted our Wednesday wine tasting where we met new folks, visited, noshed, played Name that Movie and of course...tasted plenty of wine. Many thanks Leslie, you do a fantastic job.
Today we cheered on our friends: Ben, Barb, Larry, Chad, Leslie and Mike at the Cat Spa Water Volleyball Tournament. This afternoon we took Kuma for a thorough washing at the Barking Lot then home to be clipped.En savoir plus

We've been keeping busy helping with the Second Annual Catalina Spa RV Resort Pickleball Tournament. The tournament was very well attended with almost 200 participants though Mother Nature did throw us a curve ball. We ended play early on Thursday due to rain. Put in a 17 hour day on Friday with the last match ending at 11:00pm. Rained out on Saturday. Make up day on Sunday. As the court prep guy Randy had his work cut out for him drying the courts before play began. Many thanks to Jim, the tournament director, and Angie as well as the many volunteers who helped make the event a success.
We ended the weekend watching the Super Bowl at Mario's with cousin Steve, Carlene, Jim and Angie.En savoir plus

We enjoyed a relatively quiet week. It's been windy and cool with snow on the surrounding mountains. Thursday we had my cousin Steve and Carlene over for a fun evening of pickleball and dinner. Saturday morning we shopped at the Palm Springs Farmer's Market then listened to Vocolacity that evening. Vocolacity is a talented quartet that performs jazz and pop harmony arrangements.En savoir plus

Lot's of flooding and closed streets in the Coachella Valley during the two storms we've experienced the past two weeks. Yesterday we finally enjoyed a sunny, warm calm day.😊
Last Saturday we went to the College of the Desert Street Fair to stock up on dates and licorice then headed to Old Town La Quinta for Art on Main Street. That evening Phil and Dee had us over for a delicious homemade mexican meal. Monday Chad and Leslie hosted a group of us for delicious pulled pork sliders. Thursday we met our friends from Portland Jessie, Betty and Alex for lunch at Grill-a-Burger. Yesterday we played ping pong then danced the night away to the Doc Rogers Band.En savoir plus

The wildflowers have been blooming profusely thanks to the rain and warmer temperatures. Painted Lady butterflies have also been abundant. We've had a busy week of the usual pickleball, ping pong and wine tasting as well as visiting with Lorraine and Kevin, who we met last fall playing pickleball at Hillendale Park in Oregon City. Friday our friends Sandy and Elaine took us on a two hour bike ride around Palm Springs. We pedaled by golf courses and neighborhoods...perfect weather for a scenic ride. That night we watched Desperado, an Eagles tribute band, at Spotlight 29 Casino. They put on a fantastic show. Thanks Mike for organizing our group. Today we met Liz, Mark, Debbie, Chad, Leslie, Tom and Marilyn at the El Dorado Polo Club for lunch. What a fun time! It was our first polo match and won't be our last. Thank you Mark and Liz for including us.

Tuesday we attended our first tennis match at the BNP Paribas Open held at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. A beautiful venue and it was way more exciting than I expected. 🎾 venuehttps://bnpparibasopen.com/experience/
Tuesday evening we had our 2nd annual crazy sock pickleball/wine/snacks event.
Wednesday we attended our second pickleball clinic instructed by Mike. We're very fortunate that he's sharing his expertise during his stay at Cat Spa. https://iptpa.com/
After pickleball I took a pour painting class then Wednesday evening was our wine tasting and chili cook off. Sampled some delicious chili (there were 10 competitors) drank some tasty wine and played a rousing game of Songburst.
Battling wind gusts up to 40 mph 44 hearty souls competed in today's pickleball round robin. Afterwards we all gathered at the upper clubhouse for a potluck, grilled burgers and dogs. Good food, good friends and some crazy pickleball. Thanks to Angie and Jim for organizing today's event.En savoir plus

Another great week. We took in Bethany Owen's performance on Saturday. http://www.bethanyowen.net/home.html
Had burgers and dogs while listening to the Sunday jam. Went to another excellent pickleball clinic instructed by Mike Cooper. Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Filipe's with Jim, Angie, Mike, Susan, Donna, Rick, Chad and Leslie. Had a hilariously good time playing the Match Game at Wednesday's wine tasting. Ate a tasty burger and tastier fish tacos at Tony's Burgers. https://tonysburgers.com/
Visited with Cindy and Lee who we met four+ years ago in Bullhead City, Nevada.
Played our last pickleball round robin this morning before hitting the road for our week stay in Yuma, Arizona. We've thoroughly enjoyed our 15 weeks at Cat Spa and look forward to connecting with our winter family next season.En savoir plus
