And the flowers are in bloom. Yes, this plant is in our yard!
I was hoping that the weather would go from cold to hot, but it has been taking its sweet old time getting there. Ok, I will stop whining.
The projects continued, as they usually do, with more of them being outdoor projects.
Several years ago Paul and I replaced the decal on the nose of the trailer. This time it was Mike’s decal that needed replacing.
My favorite project was the new Dozer Memorial Bocce Ball court.
All the guys worked together on this project, which was very much appreciated.
Paul and I played Bocce Ball for the first time last year and we both really enjoyed it. We were glad we found room in the yard to put in a court.
We’ve used it quite a bit already, and those who aren’t actively playing, enjoy relaxing in the chairs and watching.
I was very happy to welcome my friend Steve to the PPP for the first time. Since he is working remotely, he was able to stay for two weeks. Steve and I have known each other since I was 14- lots and lots of years, haha.
He fit right in with the gang, and we had a great time showing him many of our favorite things to do.
Probably one of the highlights for me was the day it was finally nice enough to take the boat up through Topock Gorge. It’s such a beautiful ride.
May brought with it a final visit from Jess, and the realization that summer is fast approaching.
Mike and Julie left in early May, and Liz and Randy weren’t far behind.
They did wait until after the last race of the season at Havasu Speedway, however. After all of the car races were done for the night, there was one more, special race.
A waterless boat race. Yep, these cars, about a dozen of them, drive around the track, dragging a boat. Not a boat on a trailer, just the boat.
This race is hilarious. The winner is the one whose boat outlasts the others.
Once Paul and I were alone at the house, we focused on getting ready to leave for the summer. We are headed to Massachusetts, so we were looking to leave a little earlier than usual. Part of our reasoning was that the weather STILL wasn’t good- windy almost every day, and not all that warm.
We took time out to do our favorite things …
..the Jet Ski got a few more hours put on it….
And we ate at our favorite restaurants one more time…
Once the trailer was packed and the house “summerized”, it was time to leave.
