2026

So far 2026 has been full of fun. We saw our first SpaceX satellite launch, went to a sourdough bread-making class, attended a croquet party, and joined a cornhole group. We also went to the Street Fair in Casa Grande and Tempe Blooms (which can't even begin to compare to Portland's Rose Festival for floral displays).

My sister, Marcia, visited last weekend. We had a great time hiking at Picacho Peak State Park, dining on 12th Street in Tucson, then visiting the San Xavier del Bac Mission.

Sunday we gave her the grand tour of our community and relaxed. All too soon her stay was over, but we did manage to tour the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and grab a bite to eat at Restaurant Row in historic downtown Gilbert before dropping her off at the airport.

Today we got together with our friends from Hillendale Pickleball Club. After some hot play 🥵 at Gilbert Regional Park, we had a fun time catching up and dining on delicious food and drink. Thank you, Dee and Paul, for hosting, and Shery for organizing this event..Read more
