Weekend Report

A rip roaring thunderstorm swept though Sandpiper's last night,

dropping about a third of an inch of much needed rain.

I think the winter drought season is over and we can look forward

to occasional afternoon showers. 'Bout time. The land is parched!

We had three teams playing volleyball yesterday and today, with much fun and laughter.

For lunch on Saturday Tony fed us scrumptious bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches

with additional add-ons of sweet onions and avocado. Delish!

This evening he fed us melt-in-your-mouth ribs, corn-on-the-cob,

potato salad, beans, watermelon and brownie bites.

There were 44 diners.

He prepared for 25-30, so a few end of the line peeps missed out.

But there were plenty of side dishes.

Nobody went away hungry...except for Jay who wanted a cheeseburger anyway!

There was some pre-dinner excitement.

After Jay & Jim fiddled with the Wii game and got it working, Jim & I played tennis.

Yes, it was a bit dangerous in the cramped quarters.

Yes, I clobbered Don (Chic) in the eye during a backhand!

And just when I was gonna send Jim down to his second defeat, too!

Don never saw it coming...

He thought he was in the middle of a bar fight. I'm going to fix up Abby with a seeing eye dog harness so he can get around.
