Rocky Mountain Senior Games





Leroy & Barb Schmidt with Me and Bob


We moved on to Greeley, Co. for the Rocky Mountain Senior Games. Of course, we played in the Pickleball games. Not having played much indoor, we didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be some great play. There was a great turn out for the games that started at 9:00 am with a venue in two places. A total of 9 courts were used. When we left at after 6:00 pm, the singles were still playing. Total results should be posted in a couple of days at the official website for the games. http://www.greeleygov.com/rmsg/default.aspx

What I know is that I played at least 16 games with some of the games lasting 45 minutes each. Yes games, not matches.

Fiji- A Great Getaway

Image
  On Saturday morning Dec 3rd, we arrived at the Fiji airport.  It was only 5:30 am, but they still had a Band to greet us.  We had to wait until 7:00 for the grocery stores to open, the the Malolo Cat office that would be transporting us to the island of Malolo Lei Lei to our resort, the Malolo Lei Lei Lagoon Resort was open Rosa welcomed us with a flower for my hair.       After a trip to the grocery and to see the town of Nadi, we boarded a bus to the Marina to disembark to our island vacation. The Malolo Cat II took us for the hour trip to the island.     First view of our home for the week.   It was everything Bob and I wanted, no phone, no inter-net, and no TV.  As a matter of fact, there wasn’t even a microwave.  (we could have had inter-net at $5 for 30 minutes, but we opted not to even get on)  The computer was strictly to save pictures.  and that we did!!!! The beauty has to be seen, not described...

Break Down

This will bring the travels up to date with a Bummer of a breakdown. After playing on Sunday morning with Tom and Becky and their son-in-law, we headed out. We were actually going to stay in a RV Park, the RPI on Wellsby Island in the middle of the St. Lawrence. Going through Fulton, we heard a crunch and a loud clanking. We pulled over and saw nothing, so headed out again. Too much noise, so decided not to chance it. Called CoachNet to arrange a tow. Spent one night in the Valero Gas Station parking lot. On Monday morning we were towed to Camping World in Syracuse, NY. One week later, we're still here, camping in their parking lot, waiting on a new rear-end. Luckily, there's water and a dump within hose length. Here's the problem child. A rear end problem.

April Family Fun

Image
  Winter’s gone and the seasons over.  We got to Happy Trails at the end of October and immediately started with tournaments. Not playing just working.  In December, we took our annual trip for a beach and snorkel fix.  Then back for more tournaments.  I had back surgery on Dec. 17th, so no pickleball for me the rest of the season.  In April, my big brother Jim Richardson, my Sister, Gladys and Husband, Denny Houghton, and my Sister, Anita and her husband, Stan Kubin cam to visit me.  We normally meet somewhere in May for an annual get together.  This year it was April and at my place.  Dom and Sue were nice enough to move their rig and Gladys and Denny  parked on their lot right next to us so that we could all be together.  Bob and I moved into our RV the night before they arrived since we were headed out after they left.  Picked Jim up at the airport on Thursday, April 18th.  We stopped for lunch/dinner at our favorit...
