Today was a whirlwind!

Beth spent the morning playing pickleball with a high-level group of ladies at Charlie Daniel’s Park, where she got some fabulous, challenging games in.

Then she made a beeline for one of her favorite spots, The Chocolate Covered Strawberry, to catch up with Chris, her former mixed doubles partner and coaching buddy, and to celebrate his birthday. 🍰🍨 Talk about a sweet reunion! Chocolate, strawberries, and old friends—what more could you ask for?

While Beth was in pickleball paradise, Don decided to tackle the great outdoors on his mountain bike. 🚵‍♀️ His adventure at Cedar Hills was more like Cedar Swamps—too muddy. So, he headed to Lock 4, where he had to push his bike under a tree and crawl on his stomach to the other side. Yep, Don reenacted his own episode of “Survivor” just for fun.

Coordinating our escapades with just one vehicle is like playing a game of logistical Tetris, but we always manage to make it work. By late afternoon, we reconvened and headed to Cages Bend Park for Happy Hour with our RV friends, Roger and Bonnie, who scored a primo spot with a lake view. Cheers to that! 🍷🥃

Of course, we had to fend off a few overzealous cicadas who clearly didn’t get the memo about personal space. Nothing says "Happy Hour" like ducking dive-bombing bugs between sips!

To wrap up our action-packed day, we had dinner at Double Dogs with our long-time friends, Jeffrey and Patricia, before they head back to Oregon. It was a night of good food and even better memories.

Whew! We are exhausted!Leggi altro
