Wonderful "Boomer Gathering"



I took the rig over to Cut & Shoot on Friday. A lot of the Boomers were already there. I was taken to our site, and started to hook up to the utilities. Bob came over to greet me and therefore the hook ups were delayed while I visited with him and others. We got to see some folks we hadn't seen in a while and meet some of the Boomers we hadn't met.
This was our last "Boomer" gathering with Jay & Stella as hosts. We are on the road again before Jay and Stella's retirement party in March.

Brenda got there about 6pm, from work, just in time to leave for dinner. We went to the Golden Corral. It is a buffet and the food was good.

The weather was good and pleasant during the day. Saturday morning started nice but turned off cloudy. We were all expecting rain although none came. We all spent the day visiting and having a good time.

Pot luck dinner was Saturday night and Camping world furnished the meat. They had sent a salesman over with his family to camp with us and the had brought a new MH for us to look at. Jay has done some business with CW, and they have decided to support our little group. There were 22 rigs there for a total of over 50 people.

Ted and Donna had some trouble with their truck, so they had to cancel bringing their trailer over. They did come Sunday and spend the day with us.

Ted wanted to go skeet shooting and asked if I would like to come along. He shot and I watched. I had never seen skeet shooting and enjoyed watching some pretty good marksman hit that little fast moving target.

We came back to Timber Ridge Monday morning I set up the MH while Brenda did laundry.
We had relearned the game Pegs and Jokers over the weekend, and asked our neighbors, Mike and Sally, if they wanted to play. We played three games and enjoyed the company.

It is back to work today for a full week of work. Next week we are going to Coushata with a group from Rayford Crossing, so another short week of work. (Oh, darn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We are retired after all.

Ta ta for now
