Dec 2010 - LSAC Cut N Shoot

Look who's first in line for cake!!!

The anniversary guys.


Lee and Marge Helstrom were gracious enough to have our wonderful dinner catered, in honor of their 55th Anniversary. We had some really fine food---steak, potatoes and salad. Yummmm. Thanks again, guys.

Equally yummy was the cake. And talk about HUGE.


There they are, the happy bride and groom.

Country Place really decked the halls with decorations.

Another super rally with really good friends.

WWW Luncheon–Dec 5, 2010

We weren’t expecting to see a lame Connie.

A very deep conversation. Don’t they clean up good?

DSC06407

Wonder what Ray is thinking?

DSC06409

Getting together for a fun time.

DSC06410

I think that’s Shirley, checking out the floor.

DSC06411

Well lookie here, if it ain’t Mr and Mrs Claus.

DSC06412

What do you suppose Carla is saying?

DSC06413

Well, look at us, all polite and everything.

DSC06414

He’s happy to start with the vittles.

DSC06415

Did you ever see such a pile of rice?

DSC06416

He gets all steamed up over that rice.

DSC06417

LaVerne looks like she’s either singing or preaching.

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.

C’mon guys, we need some company. We only have 9 coaches here for the first day.

DSC06304

The guys were sitting by our coach. Caroline thought she was one of the guys. Karen stopping by to ask Dan something.

DSC06306

This is a heavy conversation about the belt making. Also known as a huddle.

DSC06307

LaVerne and Margaret are proud of their accomplishments. And well they should be, they’re pretty.

DSC06308

OK, time for dinner---20 of us went to County Line to get barbeque.

We jump from the the meal on Tuesday to the one at the Oasis on Wednesday. We were busy all day---talking, moving chairs, greeting new arrivals and shopping for the FOOD for Friday and Saturday.

We didn’t want them to have all the glory.

DSC06338

Betty, this one’s for you.

DSC06341

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.
