Hawaiian Luau

The last big event at the park, before everyone leaves to return home, was the Hawaiian Luau. They hired a guy from Lakeland that brings in his roaster and a whole pig and cooks it all night and all day. A real feast with pulled pork and all the trimmings. They had 5 guys wearing hula skirts, coconut bras and wigs do a skit and then act as waitresses! Roger originally "got volunteered" but then was in San Antonio the week before and not available to practice. When he heard what they planned to do he was glad he "dodged the bullet." A dance after dinner finished the fun evening!
Things are winding down as couples start to leave the park - it will soon be a ghost town with only the 12 people that live here year round!

George's Birthday

The "gang" celebrated George's 66th birthday yesterday. We were all going golfing and then have dinner but the weather did not cooperate - it rained all day. So we grilled burgers and watched the Michigan State basketball game later in the day. We need to celebrate all the non-March birthdays before we leave. As if we need a reason to drink and eat!!!
His gift - golf ball holder - says "It takes balls to golf - Senior Edition!"

Tiger's Spring Training

Ray and Kirt stayed with Judy and Marilou on Friday night so we went to join them and then went to the Tigers/Washington Nationals game on Saturday. It was a gorgeous day and a fun game - got to see the team "stars" in action - had great seats along the third baseline. Always nice to be with family!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Thank you to everyone for making my birthday (notice I do not mention my age!) so special. Judy and Marilou are vacationing in Florida and joined the gang for our dinner celebration.

Tooth Fairy

Samantha pulled out her first tooth this week and got 10 ringgits for it from the tooth fairy. She explained that Claire, her best friend, explained you get more for the first one! Emily got 1 ringgit for "getting dressed all by myself - but, sister helped me brush my teeth!"

Golfing Hazard

Recognize this sexy leg? Dale, Jay, George and Roger played golf at Mission Hills yesterday while us girls went shopping. George emailed this picture to Sue and said "you'll have to hear the whole story at happy hour!" Well....on the second hole Roger thought his ball went over the green into this muddy ditch - actually it was in the sand trap! God forbid he should take a penalty shot or loose a ball so he stepped into a little water and grass and sunk down to his knee in what he later described as "alligator poop!" He was using 2 clubs trying to pry himself out, without leaving his shoe behind, when George came to his rescue and pulled him out!!! George lost concentration because he was laughing so hard for the next few holes and Roger's golf karma was totally lost by the time he cleaned mud off his leg, shoe and clubs! He "squished" around the remaining 16 holes and owed them all money by the time they were done! Roger felt they should have paid him for the entertainment!

Happy Hour

The "gang" at George and Sue's rented house - the only place where we all fit! - for happy hour and pizza!
Gotta' get out of Florida soon - our waistlines and livers can't take much more!!!

Jay and Kim have been here this week visiting Dale and Kay. We've been busy every day - golfing and shopping. We took them to The Villages last night - what a "happening" place! They are on their way home today - had to rest up before going back to work! Fun seeing them!
