An AZ businessman donated money to have an outdoor arena build to hold a rodeo in LHC at Sara Park. The rodeo was held this weekend so Patsy & I went today after church. We had front row seats.
This was a Senior Rodeo. The cowboys & cowgirls were in the 40, 50 & 60 age groups. Patsy wore his new cowboy belt. I should have taken a picture of him

We arrived in LHC Wed, Jan 27th midday. I did not get internet until late yesterday. Wed night friends invited us over for dinner & I played the Wi for the 1st time. I bowled & got a 143; I couldn't believe how much fun it was. Last night we had a few friends over for dinner so as you can see we haven't had time to fully settle in. I still have things in boxes. The weather has been in the high 60's & sunny. I began swimming at the Aquatic Center today. It was really nice to see all my friends. I get pictures up on here. I know that people enjoy them.
