#331 Good Morning Sunday, November 20, 2016

Hello Everyone,

Another busy weekend.  Last weekend we had the Bocce & Shuffleboard Tournament.  We asked for food for 40 and only 25 people showed up.  Jeff came to help and was a good sport for a couple of hours.  But he didn’t want to stay so he left which I didn’t blame him.  I didn’t know many of the people who came.  I was happy that Patty KD and Carmine came – it was nice to meet the guy she is married to and we keep hearing about.  Then I knew Don P and Susan.  Steve K was there doing the 50/50, but he didn’t have any “supplies” to do it.  But aside from that, it was only Peggy that I knew.  Patty won the 50/50 and gave back the money to the event so that was helpful.  Anyway, the day was wonderful weather-wise so that was great.  But it was just not a great event.  The only good thing that occurred was that Guy decided to donate the food to us and now we probably came out ahead.  Now I find out that Peggy said that Russell would donate the food for 125 people for a Luau.  Now the chances of 125 people going to a Luau for Sister’s By The Sea is pretty slim.  I’m a little sick of selling tickets for things right now and I don’t think it will be supported.  I am getting a concerned about the whole thing.  It doesn’t seem as though the committee has pulled together to do this.  Peggy is not organized and can’t get the finances under control – at least I don’t see it.  How she runs her business is beyond me.

So this weekend we did the Alzheimer’s Walk.  It was wonderful.  I raised over $500 so I got a medal.  We had to “plant the garden”.  I grabbed a number of Purple flowers that I’m going to give to my GV committee.  I need to do the same thing with Victor E on the pedal for them.  Anyway, it was a very successful event.  They made their goal according to Vanessa.   Here is a picture of Becky and me.

I love this event.  I’m out of shape because after the walk, I came home and slept for most of the afternoon.

So then last night was the Gratitude Dinner.  I’m glad that is over.  I bought a ticket for Jeff, but he doesn’t like that sort of thing so I gave the ticket to Roy.  I drove Roy because he sold his van and only has a motorcycle now.  He looked good in his suit last night.  The dinner was predictable.  I did like the sliced meat – not sure of the cut but it had a nice flavor.  The chicken was the same old chicken he serves every year.  The green beans were good.  I didn’t have any cake.  So proud of myself.  Here is a picture of the night from FB.

I left after the speaker and then there was a dance afterward.  I’m not sure how that went.  All I know was it got too late for me.  I didn’t get to bed until 10:30!

So now I’m going to get ready to go to church.  First time in 4 weeks.  I have to set up because Kenya got called into work.  It will be nice to be back with the gang again.

Thanks for visiting.  See you next time!
