Out to lunch

The Hole-in-One
Summer Shakopee golf partners Stan and Dave each had a Hole in One at the Alta Mesa golf club in Mesa today.
That's the official name of the club sandwich (at right) and it was delicious with a salad, fries and iced peach tea.
Dave and his wife Jane were our neighbors long ago in Chaska, so it is always fun to meet and eat with this lively couple. Before treating us to lunch, they showed us around their newest home at Leisure World, which, at 41, is the oldest gated community in the country, we think he said. It's a development of 4,500 residents clustered around a couple of golf courses and a beautiful community center in the heart of Mesa.
Presently Dave is helping another Chaskan manage the remodeling of his newly-purchased Leisure World winter home, so we got a tour of it today and added our helpful comments to the unfinished project. The house has a beautiful view of the Superstition Mountains as well as two golf holes on Coyote Run.
