Shuffleboard Tournament

Today we got to shuffle in our fun tournament.  I got to the 3rd round before I got beat out.  I won my first match, and then I lost both my second and third matches.  Lunch at Marv's Kitchen was wonderful again and the weather was superb!  Couldn't have asked for a nicer day to shuffle.  We'll finish up the singles tomorrow after coffee and then start the doubles tournament.  I've never played doubles, so this will be a whole new experience for me.  I hope I do well, cause with my brother as my partner, I'm sure he'll yell at me if I don't perform up to his standards!!

Bingo tonight was almost a bust...I did win $4, but I spent $9 to win that $4!

Soggy Monday!

This morning, we were supposed to start our singles shuffleboard tournament.   However, it rained early this morning, so the courts had to be dried first.  Rain delay!  We went up to Marv's Kitchen (in the clubhouse) for lunch and then started shuffling at 12:30.  We only got  3 frames in before the rain came again...and it poured!  It's really hard to shuffle in the rain, so we quit and will resume our games at 9:00 in the morning.

We have the doubles tournament after we get done with singles.  Guess who my doubles partner is...my brother!  That should be fun.

Fun weekend!

Vicki & her family left on Saturday morning and Friday night Jami and the kids arrived!  Saturday morning Dave and the kids went to the Largo Nature Preserve after breakfast at The Ranch.  Then we went swimming for a couple of hours.  I got a migraine from being in the sun, so I went in to lay down.  While I was "out", the kids went swimming again!  We had a cookout Saturday night.  Today we went to church and then to Roberta's where the kids went swimming again.  I'm sure they are  all tired out after all of the water time they had!

Phffft!

That basketball game sucked big time!  We were so off - the guys looked tired and nobody could hit the broad side of the barn.  It's too bad because that team was a really good team!  Today, however, UAB was better than us.  I don't mind losing, but we should have won that game.  We could play them 9 more times and we'd win every time except today.  Oh well, it's on to the women tomorrow.

This evening we went to Tarpon Springs with Bob & Ann, Al, Vicki, and Allison.  We took the Island Cruise at Spongearama - fun boat ride and a lovely evening on the water.  Then we had supper at Hellas and finally got home just a bit ago.

Bowling

We had our last bowling today.  I am ready to be done for the year.  I bowled a good game my first game - a 149, but then I was awful.  I had a 103 and a 133 to end.  Following bowling, we had salad and pizza there at the bowling alley courtesy of the lanes.  Then we had our little awards ceremony.  Dave and I each won $5 and everyone seemed to be happy with the way I gave out the $$.

Tonight we had another dinner at the clubhouse.  This time it was corned beef and cabbage.  I ate some of the corned beef, but I wasn't impressed.  The cabbage was goopd, as were the veggies...and, of course, dessert was wonderful!

Ran out of time

Busy, busy!!  Yesterday was a pool day and then I came home to sit outside with my brother for a while.  Then I remembered I needed some kind of dessert for this morning's bowling and for tonight's corned beef and cabbage dinner.  So I hurried home and baked cookies.  Then it was time for bingo!  I didn't win at bingo unfortunately!

After bingo, Allison wanted to play Farkle, so we went over there.  They were watching Dancing with the Stars.  Then we played Farkle.  Allison won and I was second!

Now off to bowling!

Beautiful day

We had a good sermon at church today.  It was all about getting rid of anger and filling ourselves with happiness.  Pastor Jack had some funny things to say about the four kinds of anger.  One thing he said was if you didn't recognize yourself in one of the types, you were lying to yourself!  Very good message.

We came home and Dave helped me finish up the tax paperwork.  He's going to take it and have the papers copied, then mail the packet out tomorrow.  About 2:00 Vicki, Al & Allison arrived for a week.  It is so good to see them.  We went to The Pub tonight to eat - sat outside on a beautiful night!  No dolphins, though!
