June 27, 2019 Thursday
Sisters, OR

This morning all had breakfast together and to discuss our day.  After breakfast, Debi and I took there dog (Rosie) for her morning walk.  The area they are renting in, has a recreation community, which has tennis and pickle ball courts, pool, basketball courts, rec hall, etc...  Debi usually plays Pickle ball on Thursday mornings but, since we were in town, she passed on playing.  I had heard a lot about this game but never seen it played.  So, we stopped and I watched and thought..this is just like tennis but shorter court.  After everyone was done playing, they asked if I wanted to try it.  You think I was going to pass this opportunity, NO.  Of course I want to play.  We played doubles and I didn't do to bad.  It is really a fun sport once you get the hang of it.  After our walk we hung out back at the house.  I got caught up on my Blog and did wash. 
Tom dropped his truck off in Bend in the morning for all day service.  John followed and brought him back to the house. 

In the afternoon, Tom and Debi wanted to take us to the Aspen Lakes Lodge for lunch which is also the golf course they teach.  After lunch they drove us to there home they are building and will be moving in mid September. the home is a BUTTE!!


In the late afternoon, Debi dropped me off at the nail salon while she went and taught a golf lesson at the course.  John picked me up and when Debi came home we ate a wonderful spaghetti dinner Tom cooked up for us.

Portland, OR - Sisters, OR

Today we played Proghorn Golf Course in Bend, OR.  We played the Jack Nicklaus course which played just as Jack designed, Firm and Fast.  Firm fairways, Fast Greens.  We had a view of the Cascade Mountains which at times look really dark.  There was plenty of thunder in those mountains, but we received very little hail/rain.


Afterwards, we stopped and had dinner at Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant in Bend while we charged Tessie.  All I can say is YUMMY, that is John's dinner, I had the typical Shrimp Cocktail which I forgot to take a picture.

Our resting place for tonight and for the next 4 nights is in Sisters, OR.at our friend Tom & Debbie.  They moved to Sisters from Aptos to semi-retire (still golf teaching Pros part time) and build there dream home.  They are renting a place while they build there home just outside the town of Sisters.
