Rabbits were scarce when we arrived a month ago. Now they're everywhere!
These three were up to no good.

Viv & Herman visit
Viv and Herman drove down from their Alberta home to visit us. While in Arizona they also hooked up with Viv's son in Tucson. He was in Tucson qualifying to fly a Learjet for the BC company he flies for.
No visit to Mesa is complete without a stop at the Mesa Market and Swap Meet
Goldfield. The name says it all for this Western Ghost Town less than 30 minutes from our house in Mesa
If you can't pay for your supper in Goldfield they keep your boots and nail them to the ceiling.
Every hour there is a shootout on main street.

Pickleball Progress
I checked out the new courts today and they look pretty good. Workers have painted the white lines and some posts are in for the nets. The grand opening is tomorrow and it looks like the club organizers have kept their word to have it finished and playable by November 15th.

New Pickleball Courts
At last!
Leisure World Contractors have finished the new tennis courts and are finally starting work on converting two old tennis courts into Pickleball courts.
They've managed to squeeze in eight new Pickleball courts into the space that only two tennis courts previously occupied. This photo shows the first coats of acrylic paint being applied. The net will be centered in the red zone, the dark blue area is the actual playing court and yet to be painted are the aprons surrounding each court. White lines will further define the courts and playing areas. The fences keep the ball inside the court and the old folks from wandering in (or out) during a game.
Here are a couple Youtube links to watch. The first explains the basic Pickleball rules, the second shows a men's game in progress and the third, a women's game.
