THATS ENTERTAINMENT! SOME BIG SHOWS

Sari and Jim have enjoyed a series of live shows over the past two months that has be unbelievable. Not only have we enjoyed afternoon Jazz at Vickey's and the Living Desert, but we have seen a series of shows at Sun City which have included: Hal Linden, Charo, and others. But at the top of our list has been shows at the MacCallum. This started with a wonderful night with Johnny Mathis, followed by the Billy Joel show "Movin On" and the current "ABBA" group. But the Show with Steve Tyrell on February 21st was a knockout. Not only was the show a smash, but we sat right behind....you guessed it -- Keeley Smith, Sari's absolute favorite singer. They had a chance to talk for a minute, and Sari was stoked. What a night. The picture here was taken right after that show.

A VERY, VERY VALENTINES DAY

Sari and Jim spent a wonderful two days in Newport Beach for Valentines Day. This included some shopping at Fashion Island and a dinner dance at the Pacific Club where we jitter-bugged and had a excellent dinner. Later we met Nancy and Chuck Peacock for lunch

SARI BOWLS A 185! WOW!!

Capping a terrific sports week for Sari and Jim, Sari bowled a 185 in the regular SCPD Fun City Team Bowling day at Fantasy Springs -- her best score ever and about 80 pins above her average. Most impressive, she only had one open frame during game. There was a tremendous
level of excitement during the game by her team members and other players watching, but she handled the pressure well. Congratulations Sari!

As a postscript to the above, Sari bowled 158 on the day this pic was taken. She is really on a roll...Jim's bowled over!

JIM TAKES GOLF? TITLE

Who would believe. Jim finally won a golf tournament, kinda. Jim won the 4th flight of the Sun City Niners annual golf medal play for 2009. Although this was the highest handicap grouping, Jim won it handily and earned a big tournament payoff of $28.00. While Jim is hardly playing at the level of his two terrific grandkids Remec and Tyler, it is a start. He is working toward an invitation to the Bob Hope Classic in 20?? It would seem that he has a ways to go. Oh Well. This is Jim holding his beautiful glass bowl trophy...really neat.

MARC AND DENA VISIT

On a beautiful Saturday in January, Marc and Dena Kingston (Sari's Grandchildren) visited Sari and Jim in Sun City. We talked, had some nice pooltime and a good time was had by all.

SARI AND JIM AT THE BOB HOPE GOLF CLASSIC

It was a perfect day for golf, so Sari and Jim joined the crowd at the 50th anniversary of the Bob Hope Celebrity Golf Tournament at the Silverock course in La Quinta. It was a lot of fun -- walking, enjoying the golf and being together. We look forward to going next year!

Ric and Lu visit Sari and Jim

On January 17, Sari's son Ric and his girlfriend Lu visited Sari and Jim in Sun City. After some personal and swimming pool time together, we had lunch at Boulevards. It was a most enjoyable afternoon.
