We both retired in May of 2006. For the first 6 years we were avid RV'ers and addicted to the game of Pickleball. In September of 2013 we sold the RV and bought a house on the canal to Lake June in Lake Placid, FL where we continue to meet new people and make new friends. Fishing is our favorite past-time now. THANK YOU to our families and friends, old and new, for making our retirement the best chapter in our life so far.

Torrey Oakes Pickleball Scramble
Torrey Oaks is a new RV resort just north of the Thousand Trails RV Preserve, in Bowling Green Florida. Jean and Garrett Mulder, who in the past have wintered at Peace River, parked their motor home at Torrey Oaks this winter. Jean was hired to teach and promote pickleball at the Park. On Saturday December 20th we headed from Sebring to Bowling Green with a pretty good group of players from Tanglewood for their 1st Annual Pickleball Scramble. We were sure to meet up with our friends from Peace River too!!
To participate in the scramble, the cost of admission was one dish to pass for everyone to enjoy after the event. And the food was excellent.
Here's a picture of some of the group arriving. There's Sis and Mark and Rich and Garrett and Jean.
Beverly and Al Podgorski, (Beverly is one of the golden pickleball girls, remember?) made the trip from Sebring. This was their first competitive event.
Two of our best friends in this picture. That's Travis on the left and our good friend from home, Don Bass. It was great to see Don today. We had not seen him since the end of October.
Bob Hughes smiling for the camera and enjoying the afternoon.
Jean Mulder and Nadine Powers having a good game.
Yes, Nadine Powers and Louann Dubendorf made the trip over from Sun City Center. "The Twins" Looks like they're enjoying the game.
Here's Kathy Hughes and Sally - I think they were playing against Jean and Nadine! Yes they won!!
Well everyone enjyed the food and company sitting on the patio. It was a great day. Not sure just how Jean kept score today. Rich didn't lose ONE game, but he didn't even show!! We love you Louann,,,,,,,,,,but you never won a game and ended up in second place!! Anyway here's a picture of the winners. Louann had already left when the picture was taken. Back row: Marcel Lemieux (!st place) and Richard Rivard (from Torrey Oaks - 2nd). Front Row: Sally Michalski (1st), Me (3rd place) and Al Goldberg (3rd place).
This is sure to be the ONLY time you see me pictured with the winners and not see Rich!!! Jean, I think you better check your results.
