Home again...

After a fine time up at the rally, followed by visits with two sets of friends, we are back home in WPB. And the tree looks mighty fine. Details will follow on our trip.
Of course, a stack of mail was waiting in our mailbox, you know, that real one that the postal service uses! Yuck...most of it involves work of some sort or other. And the second load of laundry is going. I'm not gonna work too much longer, as I have a Patricia Cornwell book I want to finally finish, now that the rally is over. I still have to do a final expense report on it, but that can wait a day or so. I'm taking the evening OFF! Sweet dreams, y'all!!!

Rainy Monday...

At least the rain held off until after the 11 coaches left this morning that were caravaning to Brooksville. Bonnie and I went over and swept up the floor at the clubhouse, then we said our thanks and goodbyes to them and others.

We are about to head out to visit our friends if they are home yet. Otherwise, we'll just park the coach and hop in the car to drive to The Villages. It is very close by and we've always been curious to see what it looks like.

Y'all enjoy your Monday. We will!!!

Sunday at the rally...

Sorry, no time to post yesterday's pics yet. This rally master gig is time consuming!

We are about to round up the troops and head to Central FL Community College for a dinner theatre performance, followed by a Super Bowl pizza party back at the clubhouse tonight. Will post pics when able.

Who is going to a Super Bowl party? By the way, who is playing???

Saturday--off to Silver Springs!

Our group is heading to Silver Springs for the day (Collin Raye and Restless Heart are performing in concerts in the afternoon). The high is supposed to be 59, so a few folks decided to skip the fun and stay indoors.

While we are away, check out a close up of the cute tags that Haley made for the WHOLE group (isn't she a good daughter?!). Since it is January, she stamped a large snowflake in the background (that'll remind some of these folks of what the weather is like back at their 'real' homes), MT for the initials of our club, and the 20 represents its 20th anniversary. The dates of the rally are stamped at the bottom. The picture doesn't do its 'cuteness' enough. The bags were purchased from Target...

Sam, Joe and Dick sat watching the morning weather on the big screen while they were waiting for breakfast this morning...

Susan, Nancy, and Sue were a few of the gals who enjoyed the 'girlie' luncheon today. The food was quite good, and we all enjoyed many laughs during the eating process. We do that well!

I hope your Saturday is great. Life is good in the Sunshine State!

Friday at the rally...

See the 30 goody bags all lined up, ready to be given out to the happy campers!
This is the front of the three-page program (note that this means
SIX pages of printed stuff!) that was placed in each bag, along with lots of neat goodies and info...

Les, General Manager at Turning Wheel RV, gives the 'whistle' to be quiet and listen up (I sure wish I could do that!)...

These nice Turning Wheel RV folks welcomed us yesterday with a wine and cheese party...here are Lisa, Jackie and Les with Dick...

Susan and Ann at the cg decorated the clubhouse for us...AND they even bought a big screen TV so we can watch the Super Bowl on it tomorrow!!! Yaaayyyy....(yikes, that should read SUNDAY)!

Lots of tasty submarines for an easy dinner...

Bonnie and Joe, our fab co-hosts...

And now it is Friday and we begin shortly with our catered breakfast and then the business meeting. Us gals have a 'girlie' tea to go to while the guys have hot dogs and tech talk with the Turning Wheel folks. Dinner will be catered at the clubhouse. Oh yes, we ran out of cookies last night. I'll have to remember that this is a cookie crowd in the future!!! That was our only major snafu, so that isn't too bad in my book for us first time rally masters!

So you can see we'll have a fun day. I hope y'all do too...and a great weekend. What are you doing for fun??? Life is short...go play!

Not me!

Who me? No, I didn't pull down the sunscreen on the windshield. Uh ah. Not me. Aren't I cute?

See how innocent I look!

Oops, busted! And no Parker boy to blame it on...drat!

Missy loves this spot on the dashboard where she can watch the world (and squirrels) go by. She'd love to get out and kick their bootie, but we don't let her out.

Enjoy your Thursday...we sure will (that is, when the program is DONE, the goody bags are stuffed and the shopping is finished!). By 5p today, it'll be time to relax a little and say 'it is what it is' and if there are any errors, oh well........life's too short to get bent outta shape over STUFF!

Wednesday pre-rally...

Let the fun begin! I sent out an email to the rally group that whoever arrived (early) on Wednesday was invited to our coach for Happy Hour today. Wow...quite a few showed up! Hmm, not everyone is in the picture. Some are new folks; others we've known for awhile. It's a great group of folks.

The official beginning is tomorrow (Thursday) at 5p. The local RV dealer (Turning Wheel) is providing a wine and cheese welcome party, plus a few extras. I still have a few finishing touches to put on the program, then the goody bags will get stuffed and handed out, ready or not. I'll take pictures to post. Let the good times roll! Life is good!
