DisneyWorld May 8-10, 2018

Arne and I spent three days at DisneyWorld, getting discounted admission and hotel as Florida reidents. We stayed at the All Star Music Resort which is on Disney property. It was very hot and very crowded (why weren’t kids in school?). Rides in the Magic Kingdom weren’t much different that 50 years ago. While it was nice to get out of the bubble for a few days, I’ve now had enough of Disney.

April 2018- Villages Senior Games

I participated in pickleball, basketball, volleyball and race walking, picking up four more gold medals.

March 18-April 1, 2018 Scottsdale, Arizona

I rented a 3-bedroom condo for two weeks near the green belt in South Scottsdale. The first week, I hiked with Marla and they had us over for dinner one night. Arne and I went to a Cubs game. We had dinner with grandson Aaron and his fiancé, Kaitlin.

On Friday night, we were joined by Erik, Kadin, Gracie and Jeffrey who were on Spring Break for the following week. We were fortunate to meet up with several couples from our church group, The Barge, with whom we had monthly potlucks for over 25 years.

Moondog and Sonia came down from Jerome for three days. We all went to Top Golf one night, joined by Mark and Marla, Nick and Sarah and Taylor.

Took many long walks along this golf course. Beautiful view of Camelback Mountain.

Visited with grandson Daniel. He was nearly killed Feb. 14 when hit by a car.

Our "Barge" friends.

Can't believe Jeffrey hiked to the top of Camelback Mountain.

Kids are heading to a Diamondbacks game.

February 2018 Clearwater Beach

February 22 we  spent the day on the beach at Treasure Island, celebrating Merlin’s 80th birthday. His kids had rented a large cabana so we old folks could sit on couches in shade. It was fun seeing Jeff, Susan, Chris, John Muench, Dean and Joyce Olson, and Julie Semprini.

Christmas 2017 in St. Augustine

Arne and I spent two nights in St. Augustine, taking a tram ride Christmas Eve through the town enjoying the thousands of lights.
