Feb.17,2011 Sock Hop and Cowboy Poetry

Here in Benson at the park they have a dance every week and one of the Saturdays they had a 50s sock hop. Some of the people dressed for the occasion and danced to the oldies.Brings you back to memories of high school.

One day we went with several others from the park to the Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering in Sierra Vista. This is one of the largest gatherings in the west. Artists from all over the west come to sing and perform their poetry. On Saturday it is open to the public and free for that one day.We spent the whole day listening to the music and poetry of the old west.It was amazing how great the talent was there. If your ever in the area in Feb. make this a to do on your list.

After the gathering we stopped in Tombstone for dinner.We had a wonderful day.Livin'ez on the road

Feb.11,2011 Back in Benson

We arrived back in Benson and immediately it turned cold.It got down to 10 degrees and every one was having frozen pipes and water damage in their casitas. After thawing out we got back to the business of our having fun at the park.There is never a dull moment in our park with all the activities. Cards, Bunco, Dancing and lessons,happy hours,dinners,parties,beading,woodworking and much much more.If you don't find anything that interests you that's your fault as they have something for everyone.It's a very busy park. My birthday was on the 9th and Sam took me out to Tucson for a movie and dinner. We saw True Grit and it was very good. We also had dinner at the Red Lobster.We had way to much to eat and  tookhome leftovers.

  Last nite was Ladies night out and it was such a blast.It was a Hawaiian theme and the ladies dressed up in finest hawaiian dress. To make things fun the men had on hula skirts and coconut shells over the boobs.It was hailarious watching them do the Hula. They also cooked and served us dinner and desert.We had some interesting entertainment that was very good and funny. What a great time was had by all. Can't wait till next year.Here's some pictures of our night.
