The Final Fire Ring in the Outback

On Tuesday March 24th, we headed for the Final Fire Ring of the Winter. Once a month the management of Tanglewood would hold either a Fire Ring in the Outback, or a Cookout in the Bash Area. In the Outback there is a giant fire ring and several small charcoal grills.......lots and lots of picnic tables, a raised stage and a big concrete dance floor. In the bash area there is a HUGE gas grill, lots of picnic tables, a raised stage and a big concrete dance floor!!! The management would provide every resident with 2 hot dogs, 2 rolls and all the soda and beer they wanted to dring. They would either provide a DJ or a band to play music. People would bring their LONG sticks to cook over the fire ring, or their favorite meat to cook on the grill. We would usually have a large group of us who would bring a dish to pass. We'd make it a group picnic and then take to the dance floor and dance for a couple of hours. On this last night Marcel and Louise brought their picture frame so we captured some of the gang. Enjoy

Tom and Barb Thulin. You always knew it was Barb coming.......In her bright yellow golf cart!
Good buddy, Little Jimmy Maynard. Yes, we'll hold the frame so you don't have to give up one of those FREE glasses of beer.

Gail Brown. She is an excellent pickelball player, but we hear she can beat even the best in GOLF.

Good friends and travelling partners.........Kathy and Bob Hughes

Really hope we get to see these two again. Nancy Fair and Jeff Blackburn. She and I don't ever miss a line dance at these things. Both of them love motorcycles too........Back in Michigan for the summer.

Lois and Patrick Hotchkiss. They are from Pennsylvania and winter in Tanglewood. He is quite a musician and a very good singer.

Diana and Roy Boisvert. We didn't get to know them too well until about the last month. Both of them came out and took the beginner Pickleball classes, and by the end of the season they were out playing morning rotation.

Kathy and Chuck Keller. Another real nice couple. Kathy is the cook of the group and heads up the committee that does all the food for most all of the events. Chuck is a former physical fitness instructor and still does some of that in the work out room. He just took over the role of Local Ambassador for Sebring.

Hard to say good bye to some of these people. We enjoyed all the fun and festivities.....and of course the pickleball.
