Friday was a nice day to visit and enjoy the surroundings of the mountains. Friday evening we played our usual card and domino games. Saturday we played ring toss and munched on goodies and again enjoyed each other’s company. Saturday night Al, Roy & Alyce cooked up a storm with clam chowder (Al’s family receipt) and killer salads for dinner and lots of pies for dessert. They really put on a show with the table settings and displays of shells and such. And again we played our games for the evening with Roy the big winner of the weekend. The sheriff and judge were very busy fining almost everyone in the club for not wearing their badges at one point or another. All I have to say is we must be rich by now since no one can keep a badge on for a couple of days. HA! HA! It was a good weekend all and all thanks again to our hosts. AUGUST OUTING: Will be hosted by Earl and Ellen, the theme will be “FUN AT THE BEACH” Glazed Ham with Pineapple slices, Island Bread and Watermelon.
