Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and sixty of that project.

Sunny Vista Recreation Center.

This is a nice big building. There’s a gymnasium for ball sports, exercise rooms, community rooms for puzzles and card games, and a pool out back.

They have craft classes, scrapbooking groups, aerobics, and yoga. Any afternoon, you can join a bridge, pinochle, mahjong, cribbage, or chess game.

Want to start a new group? Just sign up on the calendar and post it on the bulletin board.

The pool is open for lap swimmers until ten; then, it’s open swim and float time. The poolside bar opens at four every afternoon.

Sounds like a fun place.
