Miss Maddy patrols her area of responsibility.

It’s overcast, a little drizzly, light jacket weather. Didn’t think I was going to like it here . It turns out you can't NOT have a good time if you hang out with these guys. It turns out that someone in the group has already been here done that.

We went to dinner at the casino our first evening. The on Tuesday several of the girls went to a quilt store then across the street to a bead shop, I have a feeling they spent a LOT of money but they won’t tell us how much. They all stepped out on the front porch of the beading store, in unison, and said I spent $29.37. I don't believe it because they were laughing. Roxanne bought me a fly tying book that uses beads in the fly tying process. Later We went to a bakery and bought some goodies. After that Butch & Sue, Ray & Pam, Don & Joy, Dick & Jackie John & Roxanne went lunch at The Fisherman's Grotto, an out of the way restaurant that Butch & Ray knew about.

The next day, most of the group went to dinner at the Waterfront Depot. It was a very nice bar / restaurant.

Great food, great friends, and what a view out that window!

One day while out sight seeing, Butch & Ray stopped at an oyster store. They bought some oysters.

Note: Whenever at camp everyone puts a little something together like chips & dip, cheese & crackers, finger foods etc. Can't forget your cocktail. Keeping with tradition Butch & Ray turned on the Bar-B-Q and the oysters they bought earlier in the day were cooked and served to all. Life is good.

We spent a day with Dick & Jackie Driver and Don & Joy Carr. We took in a lighthouse, had lunch at a park, went to the tide pools, and later we all went to a museum.

To build an appetite for lunch we took a walk down to the beach and enjoyed the tide pools and the seals.
