Pictured above: Hank Starr pitching horseshoes “from the Red
Tees” during a break from our stay at home routine.
Back story from Gary Wheeler... Received a call from Hank
Starr, he wanted to know if I would be interested in a game of
horseshoes . Well I don't remember the last time I pitched a
horseshoe ,but it sounded like a good way to get out of the house.
He said that there were pits at the Veterans Park on Blue Oaks, we
set a date and time. He had one caveat, because of our age
difference the rules allowed him to move up to the" RedTees " to
pitch, and with him being an attorney I know he is sworn to tell
the truth. Sure enough on our arrival there were "Red Tees " on
the ground for him to pitch from. We proceeded to have a great
game on a beautiful Roseville afternoon. But "Red Tees" really!!!
July 2020
We thought 2020 would be a wonderful year of celebration. It’s been a
year with so many ups and downs. Things we never experienced in our
lifetime. We mourn for those that have lost their lives to this horrible
disease during this pandemic.
I am going to share some milestones in our life.
It started with Mothers Day in May, we were able to celebrate with our
Family at my Daughter’s home in Magalia. It was so incredible seeing
everyone, and we will never take things for granted again.
Then it was our 60th wedding Anniversary in June. Again we celebrated
with our Family in Chico, Ca at a wonderful restaurant upscale restau-
rant called Crush. It was a magical evening. There were virtually no
cases in Chico, Ca. at that time.
On June 11th our 3rd Great Grandchild was born and we welcomed our
1st great granddaughter Skylah Elayne to our world. Hannah was in-
duced 2 weeks early because the Doctor was concerned the baby was not
getting enough nourishment. She weighed in at 5lbs 3oz and is 20inches
long, and is a healthy baby. We can't wait to meet her.
Lou is busier than ever, he is Zooming with the Shutterbug group. Its the
best group of very talented photographers and are looking forward to our
fun outings again. Lou is very involved with the Roseville Roundhouse
train club and is the head of the electrical committee. They have lost
their facility at the placer county fairgrounds. They have a new facility
in Roseville, and is building a new train lay out which is very involved.
They have about 40 members and they are the greatest group of men.
The days go by so fast. We love our backyard with our beautiful roses,
gardenias, hibiscus, and other plants.
I play Mah Jong on line with friends and with the computer. Keeping in
touch with friends here and elsewhere.
We are just so very thankful for our life. We hope everyone stays safe
and healthy. Phyllis Frank
