Where has the time Gone
I'm a little tardy with my Blog but there are two excuses. First, there is not much to say and second everybody is leaving so there is less and less material. OK so here goes catchup; 18 MAR; This is a Friday so we did the perverbial Fish Fry at the local Legion with the group from Shilo/ Manitoba. There were 16 people , mostly from another park called Magic Valley but we are usually included in their group. After our meal and 3 hours of dancing from a DJ singing the same old songs, we have heard a hundred time, ( he works for tips so what do you expect) we relocated to Elma and Les Turcotte's place for a night cap which is normally a Liquor unless of course, if you are driving then it is a coffee.... laced with Bailey's. 20 MAR; Now, this is time of our winter vacation where people start advise each on their " Go Home " date. Otherwise know, as "clean out the fridge time". So the Nahachewskys got the jump on the rest of us by anouncing that they were hosting a Happy Hour, with food on Sunday . Apparently Holly found a Ham that she was not taking home so all were invitied to devour this Ham along with the trimmings. Turcottes, not wanting to be "Tail end Charlie" took this opportunity to anounce that they were inviting everyone to another Happy Hour on Wed and as expected " food would be served".. They abviously had food that they do not want to take home. 21 Mar; Our friends, whom we first met down here in 1999, Gerry and Marlene from Corunna, Ont where leaving for home on Wed so we hosted them for Supper before they left. For various reason we had not seen them for over a month ( they were on a Curise ) and they had just purchased a Mobile home down here, so we had some " catching up to do". As you know, friends need to know all the details such as price, reason for buying, how good a deal they made, etc etc. After supper we bide farewell as we will probably not see them for a few years but we will email often. 23 MAR; We did attend the Turcotte's Happy Hour ( 4 to 6 ) but our "Dance Card " was a little crowded as we also had a previous supper date at 6:30. So, at 6:00 we left the Turcotte's party for our supper date with 2 couples from Manitoba and as it turns out; 3 of us had March birthdays. After supper we returned to one couples abode for an " after Dinner Drink". I'm not sure how much more Fun I can handle. 24 MAR; Our friends, Marilyn and Keith Thistles, had just returned from a 2 month trip to the Middle East ( Thailand, China, Hongkong and Vietnam and other small countries ) and they invited us to supper so we could hear about this wonderful trip. The Thistles are "World Travellers" and we are only to happy to listen all about there trip. They write an excellent Blog as they travel so we had actually followed them via there ( daily/ weekly ) Blog. So we had many question about their trip but of course we will never be able to duplicate it. We had an excellent supper as Marilyn is an excellent cook and Keith is Mr. Bar-B-Q.
