Congratulations to Niles Muckracker on winning the race… I hope the individual that fell didn't break anything! Sharon R. Congratulations to Niles! Nora B. I can walk pretty fast, but I'm not too sure about racing. Maybe I can be the announcer, or just be a spectator? Laurie W. Gotta cheer for Seemore Butts trying not to be last, and Box Car riding the rail. But my money is on So & Strong cleaning up the rear. Jeanne V. Boy, I sure would want to see them all in the Parade Ring before placing my bets. Scott J. Shall we call the racetrack Geriatric Downs? Barbara C. Do they keep track of the winners? Have they ponied up prize money? Victor G. I thought it was real for a moment… a brief moment! Lynn J. Love to see Sun Lakes folks horsing around. Even ponied up some cash to bet on the race. Susie G. And we're off ! Armando A. I have trouble getting out of the paddock! Leon F. You all are doing a great job. Mike S. Will this get rid of my saddle bags? Jeanne M.

Resident name (first & last): ______________________________________ This was the joke: _____________________________________________ Comments (we LOVE your notes - about anything!): ____________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ Send your entry to sunlakesnews@yahoo.com or drop it at the Main Clubhouse Last month's joke: From Courtney, the publisher: When I started publishing the Sun Lakes Lifestyles Magazine, I was 34 and had a three-year-old son. He would come with me to proofing meetings and sit in the corner, coloring. I've made a lot of friends because of Lifestyles in the last 20 years. (Go ahead, do the math. I'm dangerously close to being old enough to live here). I've worked with the best of the best on the Lifestyles Committee, golfed on both courses, participated in Charity Week, gone to Guy's with friends, brought my family to SL Fourth of July festivities, celebrated New Years in the Ballroom, vacationed with homeowners in Vegas, performed on stage with many talented SL thespians, broke bread in neighborhood homes, and attended too many funerals. Back then, houses were just being built on Breckenridge and the only building on the right-hand side of Highland Springs was the CHP; the rest was meadows as far as the eye could see. My son has since grown up and moved away but has kind of followed in my footsteps… he's a graphic designer and likes to perform. My husband has retired and has time to write detailed reviews on every Amazon purchase and fill out class-action lawsuit forms (we've made nearly $20 so far). I've lost my father, stepfather, grandparents, and many friends. I've celebrated the birth of grandsons, weddings of loved ones, and graduations of family members. The one constant I've had in the two decades is Lifestyles. I've become close to hundreds of people who submit every month and gently poke those who are tardy. I rely on the talented homeowner photographers to provide gorgeous covers. I break my brain every month coming up with a joke that is both funny and not offensive. I try to make each issue a little better than the one before and have loved every minute. Someone smarter than me said, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." So far, so good - I truly love bringing you Lifestyles. Thank you, Sun Lakes. Senior Derby Have you ever wanted to be in a horse race … not as a jockey, but as a horse? We have just the club for you!
