Line Dancing, Pickleball, Bingo Pool and Xmas Carols

So what else has been going on? Well it's been pickleball, billiards, pickleball, Bingo, line dancing, pickleball and musical entertainment.

This is Dottie!! My Line Dancing Partner

On Tuesday and Thursday mornings Dottie and I have been meeting at the Meetin' House for line dancing. This week it's only been the two of us. I guess 8:30 in the morning is too early for the rest of the line dancers. Both of us are experienced line dancers - so with no training/teaching necessary - we just danced and danced and danced for an hour an a half. Then we would head for the pickleball courts at about 10:00 to get in a few games before everyone else called it a day. Rich has been playing most every morning.

On Wednesdy evening, Mike Thomas was back in the park and did a great musical performance. He did a little of the oldies, and a lot of Christmas Music. What a great evening.

Most every night after dinner, Rich heads down to play pool with Lee. There's a new player in the park, Charlie - who is an excellent player - so the games have been a bit more of a challenge. And that's perfect fo Rich!!!


On Tuesday evening evening - all the employees of the Park serenaded us with Xmas Carols!! They certainly will not make it big time - or cut a CD any time soon, but they were certainly having fun riding around the park and entertaining the RV'ers. Merry Xmas!!!!
Monday and Thursday nights are Bingo. I didn't make it on Monday - but went up to play on Thursday. Not a big crowd, and the regular games only paid $3. I split one game with someone else and won $1.50. Then I won the last game with a full card which paid $10, plus a free sundae at the Hot Fudge Shoppe. I kept the money and gave Rich the gift certificate for the hot fudge Sundae.
On Friday we had planned a Happy Hour. There are so many new people here playing pickleball, that we wanted to be able to get us all together for an evening of good appetizers and good conversation. Unfortunately - the weather did not cooperate! Rainy and Windy most of the day. Tom and Margie did come over for a little while this afternoon. We had a couple of drinks and some Chicken Tequitos and then called it a day when it started getting a bit more windy and rainy. We had met the two of them two years ago in Clermont, but this was the first time we had the opportunity to spend a little more time getting to know them. And............do you believe I FORGOT TO TAKE THEIR PICTURE????? But they don't leave until Wednesday - so I still have time.
