Trivia at Fireplace

-I am leaving to spend the winter in Texas and this will be my last Trivia night for a while.. Contrary to what some of these photos show this is a real fun group. 

 Awww.. come on Jim I have seen you smile..
 Nicole always seem to know when the camera is aimed her way,,A smiling spark plug for our team.
 Living up to our team name,,"old beer drinkers".
 First game of the World Series but we are thinking of the next question



 No we do not sleep at the trivia table

 I don't think Bob agreed with the answer we wrote down..
 We really are number one and someday our score will reflect that..Keep the faith guys!

Art leaves his camera

 Mary and Bob are at the Fireplace on Monday Car night for their last visit before heading out to Texas for the winter.

Art is paying his bill and getting ready to leave.  Notice the camera sitting on the table just beyond the basket??
 Yep, there it is,, "wait Art wait"  too late he is long gone.







 Shall we take some pictures ?  Can we figure this thing out?









Looks like Carol got it..

Connie's new boat


 Denise and Mary drive to Delton to enjoy a nice Indian Summer Day with Connie , joining her in her second ever cruise with her new boat.

What are all these straps for and how do they come off?


 Although Charley does not go out on the lake he is there to do all the backing and launching for us. In between he goes home and watches for us to pass by and wave at him.

 Once on the lake we all get to take our turn at the helm and try out the new gauges and gadgets.
 Lots of power for skiing and tubing
One Happy Girl !
 Yes , it was windy, not a good hair day because we could not go slow!
 Oops, grab the glasses.

 Denise puts on her life jacket , grabbed the ski rope and started pretending to be skiing along with signals for faster or slower speeds saying things about "OK , I'm up now, oh ya cutting across the wake".  Then I yelled "OH SKIER Down",just to burst her bubble ..
 "It still says 2 feet deep"
 What's up with the tongue  ? A family thing?
 Connie's house where Charley sits and waves to us as we blast past.

Because the boat ramp is bad and has a hole, the boat will not go on the trailer straight , we decided to try another boat ramp at Lower Crooked Lake.
 Talking it over, "what to do now?"
 The area is cramped and not much better ,,,,,,

So we head home with a cock-eyed boat ,but being the inventor/engineers we are, we come up with a plan to park downward on a hill and use gravity to help us move the boat forward and centered on the trailer.  It works ...DO WE ROCK...OR WHAT!!


 Feeling good about ourselves , Charley takes us to Sam's for dinner.  There we see unique photo opportunities .  Denise and Connie kiss the bear.
Who would not want their photo with the Blues Brothers?

OH ,Dee you did not?????
