Sunday Breakfast - Oct 31, 2010

Sunday dawned with 10 couples deciding to go for breakfast at Sandy's Hamburger Hut. We arrived before the restaurant opened. The girl on duty told me this ALWAYS happens to her. We completely filled the store. The "Goldfish" below kept swimming out of the picture. I did the best I could.


Nice old stove.

Mark and Brenda---Larry and Doni
Joe and Nancy Hollis, Gilbert and Mary Lou, Dave and Linda Ellisor.

Dean and Shirley, Lynn and Carla.

Everybody
Looks like the owner doesn't like soap operas or Nancy Grace.

Hopefully, everyone arrived at their destination safely.

LaHacienda - Oct 28, 29 2010

How pretty our road becomes as each coach arrives and plants their flags.

Mr Ghost greeted all who passed by.

If we were birds, we would be afraid to come in here.

Looks like someone knows Lydia very well.

The pavillion was decorated for Halloween.


We got up before breakfast to be sure the coffee was brewing. Look how dark it is!!

Boy, are they ever concentrating.

Saturday was really filled with activities. Some of the gals learned how to dress up t-shirts. Others learned how to blog. Still others did line dancing. Last but not least we had a bunch of 42ers. I didn't get much of a chance to take pictures what with hosting and all.

Look at the intensity.

This table was really crowded about 20 minutes later.

Discussing the problems of the world.

Another great and exhausting day. Thank you for everything.

Waiting for our floor to be set up. Yes, I said floor. We had the whole second floor. There were about 40 of us. Quite a turnout for Wednesday. There were 25 coaches already here.
