Week 269-270 - The 25th Annual Huntsman Senior Games - 10-16-2011

Hey guys, Mandy here!

You know, I don't think this is working out? My newly adopted parents made a lot of promises. Good times, fun, food, no work, playing in the grass. Sounded good!

So, I said goodbye to my friends in Denver and we headed out.

It looked good for a while, hey, they even had email!

So, we're cruising along, seeing some pretty neat places and having some good times. But then, all of a sudden it's Pickleball, Pickleball, Pickleball, ad nausea-em. Two weeks at the Huntsman Senior Games in St. George, Utah, all Pickleball. Ugh!

Look at this place. Sure, I can go outside when I want. But, no grass, no water, no playground. What's the point?

So, we all lose. You, my precious viewers: Did you get an exciting travelogue full of pictures of places you'd like to visit and can only do vicariously? Did you get to see some of the incredible sites in these United States? Did you learn new things that only my parents can bring to you? No, no, no!

Here's some shots from the past; that's what I'm talking about. And, that gal to the right of the bear is pretty cute, eh?

Well, I've had enough of this. I talked to the folks and they promised to do better. Next week, we'll be on the road again and things should get back to normal. We'll head off to Arizona; I haven't been there yet. What am I talking about? I haven't been anywhere!

In the meantime, they said they have to play one more game. Yippee, I love games! Oh, boy, they meant Pickleball.

They said that this week they were going to highlight the 25th Annual Senior Games. You know; opening ceremony, concert, Western dinner dance, 26 different sports and over 10,000 senior athletes. But, after taking over 56,000 photos in the past five years, they did not take a single photo of the games. Good grief! That's not acceptable. See you next week. I'm willing to give them one more chance, if you are!

Here's where we are headed.

Woof! Love, Mandy

P.S. Here's our new family portrait, in case you can't remember what I look like. Thank dog they didn't call me Pickles!
