Olympic Endings

We are almost at the end. The last few days of friendly competition and fun have arrived. I was REALLY looking forward to the golf cart races today but bowling this morning, and the scrabble finals this afternoon, interfere. Somebody....send me a report, OK?
*******
Here are the finals for Men's WVB. What a great afternoon.
The weather was perfect.
The guys played so well it was a little intimidating.
The volley's, oh, the volley's!
Team 3, John P's team was undefeated! They played as a team and really got the job done.
Bev brought a huge box of cookies as extra incentive. The winning teams
(and everybody else) recharged with her delicious goodies.

Congratulations to all participants, all winners, and especially to the line and net judges, with a very special THANK YOU to Bill #28, for calling the scores while keeping an eye on the boundary rope. He got a special cookie award medal.

Chili Results
Sharon, Sharon, Sherry & Larry,
Chili chefs extraordinary.
Congrats to Sharon (Rosaire) for the gold, Sharon (Mike) for silver and
Sherry (Tony) & Larry Dean (Donna) for sharing the bronze.
According to the vote count all the chili's were somebodies favorites and the winners were really close. Every chef also won a free lunch ticket. Pick yours up from Jon (221).

The afternoon tea was something really special.
The hostesses worked very hard on their tables, each decorated uniquely and beautifully.
Each hostess took care of her guests, bringing them tea, coffee and a staggering array of goodies to sample. Everything from dainty sandwiches to scones to decadent brownies was offered.
Many ladies wore fancy hats (and some nothing else) to get into the mood.
A few tentative guys wandered in and were greeted warmly and served like kings.
Approximately thirty six ladies and gentlemen partook of the tea, coffee and goodies.
Next time there is a "Tea" do no hesitate. Attend-you'll love it.
Here are the tablescapes to give you an appreciation of what went into this must-do-again event.

Tables were adorned with fresh roses and orchids, hibiscus, bougainvillea, and potted silk flowers.

The tea party looked beautiful. Sorry I missed it.
Next time.

It WAS wondeful. Many of us have such pretty things, but we lead a very relaxed, very informal lifestyle and don't get to use them often. The tea party was a lovely reminder of a more formal era. It was a delicious interlude in a hectic couple of weeks.
