Merry Christmas!

Long about late October each year Allen starts working on this beautiful Christmas display. He does the work, and we get to share in the beauty! Thank you Allen! We love it!

Things To Do on a Lovely December Day

Well, you can go for a quick spin around the lake,

Or sit and visit on the dock after your power walk,
Or work on your boat,

Or do a little fishing

Or you can just visit and watch Norm take knots out of his rope. Honest, I was laughing too hard to take a picture! But it happened!

Come on down and visit us anytime!

Clubhouse Party

Congratulations Bernie and Aggie on your 65 years of wedded bliss!

The Clubhouse looked beautiful!

Pretty Yards

We don't have "Yard of the Month" here in Griffwood, but if we did, here are a couple of beauties that would qualify.

Lucille recently installed a rock garden. It looks so neat!

Arlene's flowers are just glorious!

Carol, Arleen, Glee Ann and Aggie attend the annual July 4 Potluck at the Clubhouse. Must say, the food was delicious!

Hello From Griffwood!

We're in our lazy days of summer! Some of us have been traveling; others are just taking it easy; and still others will be vacationing soon. 'Course here in Griffwood, we're always on vacation! Come on down!!!

Memorial Day

We at Griffwood trust you will take a moment to remember all those on whose shoulders we stand. Please remember all our protectors and defenders who have given their lives that we may live free. And please say a prayer for the safety of our men and women on battlefields around the world.

Enjoy the day!

Endeavor

Seen from the dock. Godspeed Endeavor! You must look closely to see the trail.

Trip to Spillway

A gang of us boated over to the Spillway Marina for lunch today.
Ed piloted Ben and Arleen's boat while Margaret, Heidi and Ben looked on.

Ham and Alice and friends were ahead of us.

Some of us dined outside. Some in. But all agreed the food was great!

This was a great day for a boat ride!

Mother's Day Luncheon

It was a lovely Mother's Day here in Griffwood today. Lots of moms had visits from their children, and some went away to visit. Carol (center) invited (clockwise) Helen, Arlene, Margaret and Lucille over for lunch. Annie came but had to leave early. We had a wonderful time! Food was great; company was even better. And, Margaret brought a gooseberry cobbler and Arlene brought homemade bread pudding. Fantastic day!

The Bridge is Open

The bridge over the lake leading to the park is now open and we can drive our pontoon boats under it! Woohoo!!!

May Birthdays

Happy Birthday Aggie

and June! And many, many

more.

Easter on the Lake

Ann's family joined us for a boat ride Sunday afternoon.

Tessa really did enjoy the ride!

She saw turtles, gators, a polar bear, a zebra and an octopus!

Torey was a great gator spotter!

Boat Club April Potluck and Breakfast

Commodore Snelling calls the meeting to order after the delicious potluck. Other officers are Linda Boerman, Treasurer, Carol Knighton, Secretary and Glee Ann Robinson, Activities Director.

Breakfast makers are Linda and Jack Boerman, Ben and Arleen Modglin, and Norm and Carol Knighton. Breakfast included waffles, toppings, eggs, sausages, juice, coffee. Delicious! Next Breakfast is November 6.

Spring Break Boating

Members of the Boerman and Yount Families joined us for a great day on the water.

Andrew, Meredith, Linda, Bridgette and Scott Boerman.

Look closely, and you'll see the gator! And this is Allie Yount, the gator spotter!

Trolling for gators in the canal. Saw quite a few!

Thanks Conner for piloting us home!

April Birthdays

In April, we celebrate the birthdays of April folks as well as those who may be gone during the summer. So Happy Summer Birthday Jake and Norm!
