St. Patrick's Day at the Red Neck Castle

Yes, Jack and Diane are back in Peace River, so the afternoon happy hour was reinstated. There's a pretty large group of players here now, some that I just can't remember their names yet. And what a better day than St. Patrick's Day for the get together. On Thursday evening singing and dancing with Bobby Mack was already scheduled with everyone gathering in the parking lot to celebrate the 'wearin' of the green'.

Not too many of us can create the feast that Jack and Diane do when they host the happy hour. In the tradition of St. Patrick's Day, they had prepared boiled peanuts, sauerkraut, cabbage and boiled potatoes, corn beef and an array of breads for sandwiches and sloppy joes! The rest of the group contributed some pretty good dishes as well including a great green salad with walnuts and strawberries, spicy franks, hash brown casserole, corn bread, broccoli salad , meat balls and an array of crackers and cheeses.

About 6:00 Rich and Dean and Roger and Bill took off for the pickelball courts. The four of them are playing in tournaments this weekend so they were out doing lots of drills to improve their soft game and the "third shot". Good Luck this weekend guys!!!

Margie ( of Dean and Margie) is starting a Blog for their Alaska trip this summer, so I went over and spent a few hours helping her get familiar with Blogging. We downloaded Picasa for her pictures. She's going to enjoy her Blog..........When I was leaving, I could tell she was anxious to spend some time exploring her new found hobby!
