Happy Hour Saturday March 21st

On Saturday, March 21st some of our friends were coming over to play some pickleball, so we planed a little happy hour for the afternoon. Nothing fancy. Rich and I cooked some hot dogs on the grill and the rest brought a dish to pass. It was a very windy day, just a little on the cool side, and of course when you plan a day with friends in Florida you always have to consider RAIN. The morning was nice, but as the afternnon came around the skies began to darken. Mark Jones, Bob and Kathy, Marcel and Louise and Rich and I went down to the courts to await our friends. We had played just a couple of games, and the skies were getting darker. Stan and Sally came and we got another game in.................Travis was supposed to come, but was having problems with his air conditioner. The skies grew darker, and then Lou and Carol came. They were staying down in Buttonwood Bay, just south on 27 in Sebring. I think they may have gotten in a couple of games and then ...............IT RAINED.

We picked up quick and went to the screen room to stay dry. Rich went back to the 5th wheel remembering that we had left the roof vent open over the bed!! The rain stopped, but the courts were too wet to go back out and play, so we headed back for a drink and some food. Marcel and Louise had a prior engagement, so didn't join us for the happy hour.

It cleared up enough that we were able to enjy our meal. WELL.....except for the WIND.... Here's Lou, Kathy, Mark and Sally getting ready to dig in.

Carol does a balancing act with both her and Lou's plate. Where are you LOU???

There's Stan the Man.........Always a BIG smile for the camera.

And Bob Hughes? Looks like his plate is empty and he's hoping that Lou (at the table) doesn't take everything that's left!!!
Do you notice that eveyone's plate is empty.........but Rich is STILL EATING??? Where am I? Well I've dropped my plate once, and the wind took it the second time? One way to make sure there are no left overs!

There's Kathy Hughes......But where or where is her coffee cup?

Despite the rain and the wind............we all had a great time. It was real nice to see Lou and Carol again and this would probably be the last time we saw Stan and Sally before they took off to go back north!
