2nd annual racquetball tournament for The Ridge was happening last weekend! Shawn and Kandee hosted the event at their club and they had a great turnout. Shawn, Shade and Kandee signed up to play - Bob did not! Bob's knees are getting a little 'sketchy' as far as playing hard and jarring around the court so, he sat this one out - not like him! We had fun watching family play. Kandee ended up with an appointment for surgery as she turned the wrong way while playing her game, heard a 'POP' in her knee and will now have reconstructive surgery on her ACL!!!!!! She goes in Thursday for her surgery!
Shawn played in a new division called "British Racquetball" and placed 2nd - it's MUCH harder, slower version of the American racquetball - the ball (to me) seems like a hacky-sac ball - mushy! The guys come out of the court looking like they just took a 'bath' and the cardio workout is very intense! Shade played and did so well - he didn't place but is an outstanding player - many more tournaments will be in the future for him! So we'd watch a game, run to food shop, run back to the club to watch more - and so went our weekend - SUPER FUN!
Got a phone call from Donna and she wondered if Bob and I would like to go to the Farmer Merchant Community Banquet? She said there was ONE hitch! Would I take photos of the event - I immediately said, "Yes!" I love going to that - so many great memories from the past - it's just a lot of fun! It was held in the new high school and guess what? I've never been in the new high school since it opened this year! Yep, that's right - so, it would be a great opportunity to see a small portion of it, the gym! It is put on by the Chamber of Commerce and I just happen to love that organization - they do so much for the businesses in our community! Chiz' would be catering it this year - oh, delish!

The Farmer Merchant Banquet honors people who have contributed to the community throughout the year, they honor farmers, educators, business people and then they auction off items people donate for a good cause. All-in-all it's the best night ever mingling with people you've known for years and years - just like family! BTW, the new high school is beautiful and huge!

Saturday, we met up with Ken and Donna in Idaho Falls at Pet Smart!!! They just got a new golden lab puppy and they were signed up in an obedience class - so cute! I've never seen more dogs in that store before - oh, heaven! (Yes! I love dogs!) I picked up some bones for our little guys and then went to lunch at Garcias - fish tacos!!! After lunch we made a quick Sam's-run and hurried home for more racquetball and Bar J Wranglers with Ken and Donna at the high school.
