Unit Happenings – September 2024

Unit 44 Men’s Breakfast

Dan Harris

The men of Unit 44 held their summer monthly lunch at Augie’s Sports Grill in Goodyear on July 31. The lunch started with Scott Crabtree’s fountain of youth as he squeezed his lemon wedge so hard that most of the juice went all over his shirt instead of in his iced tea. He passed it off as trying out a new citrus cologne. Then the men caught up on Unit 44 and PebbleCreek news. Pictured from left to right are Doug Kirkpatrick, Wayne Thomas, Larry Weber, Dan Harris (photographer), Don Paxton, Scott Crabtree, and Mark Eichkorn. The last lunch of the season will be on Sept. 4, and the men will return to monthly breakfasts in October, where they’ll surely once again try to talk Mark Eichkorn out of telling his server to bring him his favorite: burnt bacon.

Unit 46 Plays Hand, Knee, and Foot

Vicky Ferraresi

PebbleCreek’s penultimate newly built unit, Unit 46, started a group to play Hand, Knee, and Foot every week. This was our second get-together, hosted by Sally Coon. Together with Joy and Woody Ameel, Sally ably taught the rest of us newbies how to play this fun game. It was another good chance to come together to share neighborhood news, our experiences with our new homes, how our gardens are surviving the summer heat, and have fun at the same time. (We were even able to keep an eye on the Olympics!) Here’s to more fun games ahead.
