Happy Hour report from July 29, 2011

Once again, great fun was had by all. Brien was first to arrive. He Beth and I had first shot at the BLT pizza. There was plenty for all. Terry brought "Mariachi" pizza and Nancy & Don brought BBQ sandwiches.
Barry, Kathy, Lillian and later Amanda visited. Marty, Michelle and Reece were here. Tim came by as did Don and Chris. Some of our Wednesday night trivia buddies made it. Trivia buddies included Captain Bernie, Sue and first time ever attendee Margo. Margo looked like she was having a blast swimming with the girls and the girls thought it great fun too. The storms kept us on edge as far as when the water was OK for swimming and they put on a great show to the south. Fortunately they either went north or south of us. Neighbor Brad from a couple houses away stopped in for a first time appearance too.

Thanks too all for the kind birthday wishes, cards and gifts!

I'll check the lotto tickets later today. Maybe ... just maybe!

We'll have to keep an eye on the weather due to pop up thunderstorms.

Hope to see you this Friday July 15!

Weather should be just fine!

Beth's making brisket! Yum!

Report from July 8 Happy Hour and Troop support update

Bert Thomson came by and picked up 7 or 8 boxes of needed items to ship to our troops. They were crammed full of great usable stuff to make life a bit easier on our service people. GREAT JOB EVERYONE! And a good turnout for Happy Hour too. We had some first timers for the year again. Shelly Whitefield Bodi came cruising in sporting her new Camry. What a pleasant surprise! She promises to come back with her husband Kevin. Rachael and Randy came by for a swim and conversation. Welcome back to them. Brien and Terry were in attendance too. Rick got here early and Margo got here not as late as the week before. Overtime on Friday night just seems wrong. We met them Saturday at the Draft House after a stint at the Jazz and rib fest on the square. A good weekend for us! Neighbors Don and Nancy came over as did Alan and Bonnie. Reece brought Marty and Michelle for a visit and a swim for Reece and last but not least ... Loki came out to see what was going on. Good news on the lotto front! We had two numbers on one ticket!!! We are starting to get the hang of this. You better show up Friday July 15. This could be the time!

Friday July 8

We are on for Happy Hour! Hope to see you ... soon!

There were about 22 of us at Happy Hour 7-1-11

First off I like to thank everyone who gave so generously for our troops. There was quite a haul of needed items. Good job!!!

We have decided to continue to collect until this coming Friday's Happy Hour. It may turn out that funds for mailing are needed. I'll do some checking and post soon to let you know.

There were 22 adults and several kids. New to HH was neighbor Bruce, Maxine and Jeff, Matt and new to this years HH, Mike Smith. Robyn Thomson brought a friend to swim with who was new this year. All the new comers fit in great.

I'll post some pictures and more details soon.

Looks to be a great Friday start to the weekend

We hope to see you any time after 5:00 for Happy Hour! Might even see a few of you earlier for a swim.

Beth is making dry rub ribs that I so loved last year. Ya baby! Nancy says she bringing her "famous baked beans and burger mix" which I also love. Sounds like we will be fat and happy.

I have acquired through a "Beverage Source" a brew that I have been looking for. I first enjoyed Point Amber on a visit to my sister Darlene's home when she lived in Wisconsin. A long time ago. I hope it's as good as I remember. I'll find out tonight. Help yourself to one before they run out.

I purchased a PowerBall and MegaMillions ticket today. Be sure to stop by tonight. You wouldn't want to be the only Happy Hour friend to not be a bazillionaire.


Be sure to bring a thing or two from the list of needed items on the right side of the Blog. Hopefully will have enough small treasures to send a box or two to the troops. Brigitte Thomson says it's $15.00 to send a box. If you don't have time to stop and pick up supplies, kick in a few bucks to help with the mailing cost.
