Tucson Dog Show

We just got back from 3 days of dog shows in Tucson this past weekend.

The first day Gracie won "Winner's Bitch" which means she earned more points toward her championship. The second day she won her class but that was it and the third day she again won her class and then took "Reserve Winner's Bitch" which is sort of like Miss America Runner-Up. No points, but nice to know she was close.

Our friends Jeff and Karen were there too and our motorhomes were parked next to each other so we got to do a lot of visiting. They had a big pot-luck gathering one night and then they came to dinner at our place the next night. It was great to be able to catch up with them since we hadn't seen them since we left Arizona last spring.

Are You Ready for Some Football?!?

I am a diehard San Francisco 49ers fan and last Monday they played the Arizona Cardinals for the Monday Night Football game and we got to go watch the game live! We went with Tom's daughter, Shannon and her husband, Pat who is also a huge Niners fan.

It was a well fought game that was decided in just the last few seconds. Unfortunately, the Cardinals won but we had a great time cheering on our team right to the end.

This was the first time Tom had ever been to a live professional football game and the first time I'd ever gotten to see the Niners play in person so it was a thrill for both of us.

Tom's favorite team is the Washington Redskins and we're hoping maybe we'll get to go to one of their games when we are on the east coast next year.

Pickleball

What is Pickleball you ask? Well, it's sort of like tennis but on a smaller court, with paddles instead of rackets and a whiffle type ball instead of a tennis ball. It's also a lot of fun! They have Pickleball courts here at the RV park where we're staying this month and the park's Pickleball club offers lessons. We took the lessons a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it so much we went right out and bought ourselves our own set of paddles. We've been at a few other RV parks that have Pickleball courts so hopefully we'll have the chance to play often as we travel around.
