The February campout was held at 'The
Oaks' in Bushnell, FL. There were 13 rigs in attendance, almost all of
the Birds rigs arrived a day early on the 12th. Members present were
the Bresnicks, Cartwright, Damms, Dunns, Faces, Meyers, Nicholsons,
Richardsons, Saittas, Spillers, Vanamans, VanHees and one guest,
Mary & George Nicholson's daughter Diana. The weather was nice on
Thursday. We enjoyed each others stories about our previous months
escapades. A great lunch was served by the ladies of the campground,
and most of us went and enjoyed not having to make our own. I know the
ladies loved this. On Thursday evening we played our usual games,
Mexican Train and Rummeycube.
Friday morning most of
the group went to the Clubhouse for a delicious breakfast served by the ladies at the campground, this was a great treat for us. Then
after breakfast some of the group played Mexican train at the Fraces'
coach, even though it was a little on the chilly side. The Birds never
mind the weather as long as they can play their favorite game. Lunch
was served again
by the campground and most of us attended
again, never get too much of a good thing. On Friday afternoon we had
our usual Cookie and Fellowship. Eating again, seems like that is all
we do. Friday night for dinner we had Chili, Rice and cornbread
provided by the hosts Barbara & Mike Mokszyski, along with salads
provided by the rest of the group. The meal was delicious. After
dinner
cleanup, most of us played a couple games
of Left-Right-Center, Mary Nicholson's daughter Diana, won one game
and MaryAnn
Saitta won the second game. Then we had
two tables of Mexican Train, a good time was had by all.
Saturday morning
most of the group went to the Clubhouse for breakfast again, we can
really get spoiled with this type of campground. But we will enjoy it
while we can. At eleven o'clock we had our regular meeting. We
received a letter thanking us for our generous donation of greeting
cards, that the Vanamans took to the 'Lighthouse For The Blind'. Nancy
asked that we hold all of our cards until; the fall meeting, as she
has no place to store them right now. We discussed our club attending
the March State Rally, at the Orlando Fairgrounds. Those who are going
will meet at a specified location, and go into the fairgrounds
together. Lillian
Frace discussed the Albuquerque Balloon
Fiesta in the fall of 2005. Some of the group expressed their desire
to attend, it gives us plenty of time to think about going. Pete asked
who was going to attend the GNR this year, and set up a rendezvous for
those going. Saturday after the meeting some of us visited our local
Walmart, and some went out to lunch. Later in the afternoon some of us
played Mexican train, before we had to cook for dinner. For dinner we
had a 'Pizza Party' with pizza being brought in from a local
restaurant. The ladies supplied salads to go with pizza, and some
great desserts. After dinner we played our favorite games, we had two
tables of Mexican train again, with everyone having fun.
Sunday morning brought
us some cold temperatures, but that didn't stop the Birds. Most of
them made there way out of their rigs to say our good byes and wished
everyone a safe trip home. See you all next month.
