Party Time ! Winding down our Time at Retama Village...........................

I know the title of the last blog was "Summer", but it appears even though the temps are summer like to us, it is actually spring here.  Everything is in bloom around here from the bushes to the cactus........

Very beautiful.

Speaking of beautiful.................... our good friends Jay and Liz just had a baby boy !

Liz and Baby Westin !  Congratulations guys !!

Speaking of friends and family.........................

Dad was out on the town and stopped in to see Jenni at here new gig.  Looking good !

I was speaking with Jeff Duncan the guy who took over some of my accounts and he told me about a cool wall that they (Tepel Brothers) had done down at Wayne State.  Sent me some pics too.........................

Good job Mario, KD, and Jeff !

I do miss the daily grind of the sales gig sometimes and all the friends and customers too.  I try to keep in touch, just not the same...................................

I know I am wandering........................One of the things that we have been trying to do is get into better shape.  Ya'all (I am in Texas) know that we both love Pickle ball and we try to play for a couple of hours about 2-3 times a week.  We have a very competitive bunch that we like to play with and it is quite a work out.  Our other sport that we have really gotten back into is mountain biking.  There are some really cool trails down here and as of last Friday, we have conquered the advanced trails !  This is a real all body work out.  There is not usually a dry spot on you when you are done and you are spent !  Ever done a workout where when you are done you can not go any further = Mountain Biking ! Here is a couple of shots from Friday....................

Howard, Bren, and I.  Out of gas !!

So this is party season and we have had a few good ones.  The last one was called Tappa Hoppa (Tapa's = Small Plates, Hoppa = Hopping around the park).  We had 4 stops around the resort and each stop had a different theme and food.  There was even a Margarita cart and a Tequila Stop !  Here are some pics......................................

Good food !

Shot, Shot, Shots !

It was a great night of fun with all of our new friends here at Retama Village !  Then came St. Patricks day ! .........................

 Cheers to the regular gang that we used to party with back in Royal Oak.  We did miss you all !

Then there was date night this last Friday night.......................

I usually leave you with a funny, but this time I found this and thought I would share.............
