Pam Gets a Hole-in-1 (almost)

On Friday, Pam and I played in the couple’s scramble golf event. We were matched up with a couple from Canada and had a great time.

On the 18th hole, Pam hit a almost perfect shot! It was 100 yards to the hole. Pam hit her 7-Wood perfectly. The ball had a slight draw (right to left), landed right before the green and rolled up to the cup. The ball slid past the cup and stopped 8 inched from the hole. I think she was within 1/2 inch of a hole in one. Great Golf. Pam did make the putt for a natural birdie!!!

8″ from a Hole-In-One; 100 yards over a creek! White Markers in the distance.

The 18th hole was also an event hole for the men – closest to the hole. Pam beat the winner by over 8 feet. Oh, the winer was Kelly at 9′ – 1″.

Our team ended up winning the day with 4 birdies and 1 bogey for a final score of 24 (3 under par).

We added lights to our palm tree and planted 2 lighted Olive Trees in front our trailer. Looking good.

Palm Creek for 4 Months

A week ago, we arrived back in Palm Creek RV Park. We plan to be here for 4 months (until mid-April).

We are enjoying getting back to golf and other activities. Pam has joined back up with her sewing friends. Kelly is back in the golf league with his buddies and golfing every Wednesday. Pam and Kelly are golfing on Fridays in the couple’s scramble. All very fun.

The weather has been great. 70 and sunny every day; 40’s at night. Top-down weather in Pam’s car.

Ft. Worth & Stockyards

On our way to Arizona, we stayed 4 nights outside of Ft. Worth, Texas.

We stayed at Cowtown RV Park in Aledo, TX. It was a very nice campground. Clean and easy to get in and out of.

We mainly relaxed and recharged. The only thing we did was visit the Stockyards which has a heard of longhorns and does a drive / parade down main street.

House Done – Headed South

On November 6th, we received our occupancy permit for the new house. We were so busy moving in and organizing, I did not take any pictures or shoot any real video. We are very happy with how everything turned out.

Then, the weather turned cold. Highs in the 20’s! Too Cold. So, we quickly decided to head south. We setup the house for being vacant over the winter (smart thermostats, video cameras, internet, shut off the water) and left quickly.

We drove 1,000 miles (Kelly driving the truck/trailer and Pam following in her car) in 3 days and arrived in northern Texas. We will stay in Texas for about a week.

We will then head West to Arizona for the next 4 months where the weather looks great (70’s every day and sunny).

Almost Done / In

We have made great progress, but we did not get occupancy by the end of October as planned. We were ready, but the inspector could not make. We hope to get occupancy on Monday, November 4th!

All of the electrical and plumbing is done (except for the tub which will be finished on Monday). The Barn Door style shower door will be installed next week (we hope).

The cabinets and countertops went in and look great. The white oak floors turned out great as well as the white oak stairs.

We planted “No-Mow” Grass along with oats (for fast roots) and some clover. Starting to green up nicely.
