After 4 years of full-timing in our motorhome, AJ and I, Spyro our dog and KC our cat are settling down into a cozy little home here in Bend, Oregon.  We'll be spending summers here for now, and continue wintering at our pickleball home in Casa Grande, Arizona.  Not a bad life, I must say.

We have four (currently almost unused) tennis courts in our new community.  You can imagine what plans we have!  We've found that our next door neighbor is a pickleball junkie also.  He has already volunteered to work with us to get our home owners association to convert at least one of those courts.  So you know where our energies will be directed over the next little while.  What plans do you have to expand this great sport?
