TPC (Tour Profession Club) of Scottsdale




What a weekend of a lifetime! Hank took Golf lessons up in Scottsdale this weekend. He and his 3 buddies hit so many golf balls, he came home with bloody hands. He learned so much and enjoyed every minute. What an experience! Normally it is $300

to play 18 at this course. Phew....hope he enjoyed that ONE TIME THING.

Here we are on our wedding day. Boy, we have grown older. lol

St. Patrick's Day!


Betty and Bob had a great St. Patty's party. We had to move indoors cause a huge wind storm decided to invade us.


Great corn beef and cabbage, good music, great friends!

The Dog Agility Park

One of my job projects is getting the equipment for a Fantastic Dog Agility course. I will take a

picture Monday as the rest of equipment came in late Friday. We will have a walk, A-frame bridge, line-poles. We have got 2 great instructors. This will be a great activity to add to the Park.
We have 15 little dogs in one class and 10 big doggies in the other. Wow! And this is the end of the season.

Our Beading Club

Most of the women at starting to leave, but we still had a large group

here for Sally's class. We always have a great time getting together.

Dead-Headers Club 2012

Palm Creek survives on volunteers. The park is beautiful! There are a group of women that take care of all the flowers in the park. Here we are....in the front of the park. Ashton, the owner, designed the colorful shirts for us to wear. I think so people won't run over us while we are on the side of the street.

At quick stop at Lake Mead

Hank and I drove down to the waters edge to see how Lake Mead was holding out. It seemed to be a little higher than our last visit, a year ago. They had moved the marina over....so now it is out in deeper water. The water is still bright blue!

Saturday night in Vegas


Hank and I had tickets to go see the Blue Man Group!! I thought they were so funny.

We loved walking through the spring Gardens with flowers everywhere!! It smelled wonderful.
Fun Evening!

A weekend get a way


Hank and I arrived late Friday afternoon after a beautiful drive over to Las Vegas. After dinner, we walked over to the Billagio to see the water display and awesome Chinese New Year dragons and flowers. Beautiful.

My Job....


One of my job duties was to help Karen get ready to start a new dog agility class. She had her first 2 yesterday with great attendance.


The other was to have a lunch for 30 employees. At the last minute, my boss couldn't attend. Most are Mexicans, but with the help of the guys I am learning a little Spanish to communicate. They all seem to enjoy the food and the raffle.

Mardi Gras Party


Ann and Steve always give a great Mardi Gras Party and this year wasn't any different. We had a great time!

Hank and buddies


Hank has been really busy with his buddies, between Golf and flying their airplanes.


Today, he will be going to some western gun shoot out.

My Mom celebrating 94 years!

I wish I could have joined my family in celebrating my Mom's 94th birthday. She was surrounded by my sisters and brother and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She looks as beautiful as ever. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Hank and his new plane


After Bob's death, Hank was very depressed. Finally, he went to the air show last week and bought him a new plane. I helped with the decals. Rebecca had taught me how to put them on.

It looks great. Have fun flying!

Ladies Poker Night

This was a interesting evening. Some girls talked me into going to play Texas Hold em last night, LADIES NIGHT. Anyway, there were over 40 women. $10 to get in the game! The game started at 6:30, by 7:30 my pile of chips were growing and I was eliminating players. The joke at our table was me saying, "How many chips you got there woman??" lol. By 9:30, one table left and 5 girls.

One by one there were all in and down to two of us for 1st and 2nd. We had both been at different tables and both tired. So, she offered to split the pot...I agreed and we both walked away with $130. Exciting Evening for me!!

Super Bowl 2012


This is becoming a yearly thing at our place. It is also growing bigger and bigger. We had 4 TV's going outside. 43 people showed up with awesome food and Hank cooked 2 smoked pork.


We all had a wonderful time.

Cancer Awareness Walk


It was a beautiful night and a band, lots of people, the cow from Chick-filet (s), my boss-Jim and his lovely wife Laura led the parade.

We had a silent auction, hot chocolate.

Wonderful Night!!!

Cancer Awareness Week

When I came out of work, there were people everywhere putting the bags all around for the

My first bowl

After 2 days of class, I completed my first bowl. Maybe next time I will get a little more detailed. I had to learn how to use the lathe and tools.


I had fun and now Hank will be taking the class this coming weekend.

Lillie in the woodshop

Today I took a class on how to make a bowl. You are just seeing the beginning of the bowl. The tools I use are behind me, the red and yellow stand. I tried them all to see what they did. I had a really great time except I was getting a cold and not feeling great.


Tomorrow I will finish it up! I have about an inch more to take out in the center. Hank is taking the same class next week, that way we can do this together.

Garden In Palm Creek


On Thursdays, I always work in the garden. It really feels weird to be in January with Tomatoes, lettuce, brussel sprouts, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, beets, radishes, kale, all the herbs, spinach, turnips...you name it.

Wow! These raised beds are awesome!
