A New Adventure! Couples Card Club at the CG!

What a leisure Saturday morning!  We were up by 7 but took our time getting ready and then headed outside with hot tea!  Went over to Martins 5th Wheel and spent time just chatting!   By 10, we thought we should consider making breakfast.  So we each made our cooked breakfast and then met to eat together outside!  It was only 56 degrees when we got up, but by 11 it was in the upper 70's and very sunny! 

After cleaning up, we walked to the pickle ball courts to give the game a try.  Ken and I played about 3 times and finally understand the rules and scoring, but we need practice.  Martins had played with us 1 other time and were eager to try again.  We played 5 games and had so much fun.  Really is a great game and Ken and I would like to get more skilled at it!

Back to Willie to shower and get prepared for our card club group to join us at the CG this evening.  The 4 couples have been getting together to play cards once a month (go out to dinner and then take turns hosting an evening of card playing) for at least 20 years.  We appreciate having such a special group of friends.  The hosts have snacks and then serve dessert at the end of the evening.  Since we were camping and it was our turn to host, we asked if they would come to the CG for the evening (about 30 minutes from home).  So, we met the Quentin Tavern to eat on their deck at 5:30 (great place with delicious food!) and then back to Willie.  Ken started a campfire and we sat around talking about our summers.  We hadn't all been together for several months - everyone was doing traveling!  Then we played cards both inside and out and ended the evening making s'mores and snakes around the campfire.  A perfect evening to be outdoors - cool, but the fire kept us "toasty".  They all left around 11, after a very fun and different type card club evening!  The sad thing was that Ken and I didn't take any photos to "document" the special evening!
