| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | AUGUST 2024 | 71 When done by the skilled it is an art form as well as a physical sport. I'll keep an eye out for when the SL group is competing. Victor G. A better name for this club would be Ouchery LOL. Emily P. I was excited because I love archery until I realized it was the joke! Jamie T. First of all I LOVED the picture! en the repeated use of "we patch up any injuries," "followed again by the necessary first aid," and finally, "Nurses needed." Absolutely hysterical! Denny S. Great column - always funny. Gloria C. If my name was Adam, I would not want her shooting at my apple. Frank C. Perfect new club for retired and bored ER nurses. Lacey J. Looks very dangerous to me! Jean B. is is an accident ready to happen! Sharon K. We all need lessons from Robin Hood. Debbie C. I knew one-eyed Betty! Martin S. Bows and arrows - what a great love story. I'm in need of a partner and will pay cash. Jeanne M. It sounds like fun. I haven't had any archery lessons since high school, but I'm still a pretty good shot — in my mind, anyway!

Office for your Sun Lakes Restaurant dinner. From Courtney, the publisher: My youngest son Ben is good in a crisis. Years ago our old dog Rosie woke me up in the middle of the night with her cries of pain. Her back leg had fallen out of its joint. I found her in the laundry room and started screaming for help. My husband Tim wasn't home that night and Ben came running from his room. He picked her up and put her in the backseat of the car and we drove to the emergency vet. I cried the whole way, thinking we'd have to put her down. While we were in the waiting room, Ben motioned to me and pointed at my pants. "Your jeans are on inside out," he whispered. Eventually Rosie had surgery and we had her for a few more years. Ben's calm in that situation made me proud of him and I resolved to be more like that — and pay closer attention when I dress during an emergency. Last month we had another (lesser) emergency. Tim and I rent a house in Hawaii for our once- a-year vacation. When we arrived, it was clearly occupied and in a state of renovation. We realized we had 11 days of being homeless in Hawaii, with a car full of groceries from Costco. It was a lot of quickly-thawing bacon for two homeless people. Tim wanted to drive back to the airport and go home. "I'm not leaving Hawaii," I said and took out my phone. Within minutes I had booked us a condo. The police had been called by the home's befuddled owner and one of them said to me, "Sorry if this is going to ruin your vacation." I replied, "We're in Hawaii. With this twist, it's still a nine out of ten." Turns out the homeowner forgot we were coming, forgot he was having work done on the house, and forgot he told his housekeeper she could stay there. While Tim was mad, I was calm and positive and had quickly and efficiently taken care of business. I was proud of me. And my clothes were all on correctly. Now that I think about it, how in the world did I zip up those jeans? Archery Ready, aim, FIRE! These are the words you'll hear shouted from the new Archery Field. We are a growing group with 33 members who have a passion for the world's favorite sport involving arrows and bows. We meet on Wednesdays at 5 pm. From 5 to 6 pm, we warm up with target practice. At 6 pm, each member chooses a partner and plays three games of rock, paper, scissors. The losers put an apple on their heads and line up in front of the bales of hay for a quick game of William Tell. Then we patch up any injuries from 6:30 to 7 pm. At 7 pm we wind down with a game of tag using our bows and arrows followed again by any necessary first aid. Our special event for July is Duck, Duck, Goose. The goose will be shot at by the ducks. If you're interested in this fun-loving group, join us Wednesdays at 5 pm at the Archery Field! Nurses needed. ~ One-eyed Betty
