Mardi Gras

We had a fantastic Mardi Gras Event last week! Food was super, games were great - what more is there?
 Barb Viele and hubby Art who served as bartender.
 Jim and Donna Firestone
 This is Marie. She planned the event. Behind her are three pots full of soups: Alice Hambleton's gumbo with rice (delicious!); Jerry Breuel's New England seafood chowder (to die for!) and Paula Skolds' potato soup (fantastic). What you can't see is the table to Marie's right laden with snacks, or the dessert table. Marie is holding a pitcher, and in that pitcher are beads. The game was to guess the number of beads in that pitcher. Doncha know someone came very close - see below! Great party Marie!!!!
 Liz and Don Godfrey. Always love it when they come to visit!
 Julie and Ed Englund. They'll be headed back to Minnesota soon!
 Good friends Theresa Shetrawski and Kas MacFadden
Don and Elaine won the "Guess the Number of Beads" count. (There were over 10,000!)

Boat Ride

Jim and Donna Firestone's son and Dan and family came for a visit, and we took them out on the boat. It was a great day for a ride, and we had a great time!
 Jim, Carson, Dan, Melissa and Weyth

 Norm spotted a gator, and we're going back to find it. We saw several!
Great family! Come back soon.
