Spring Fling

Every year our park has a big end-of-the year party called the Spring Fling.  They have a catered meal, entertainment all around a theme.  This year's theme was Lotza Lotza - that meant lots of anything.  It was a good time and the entertainment was a Buddy Holly impersonator.  Now, I know you girls probably do not know who Buddy Holly is but dad and I certainly do and we loved it.

I made dad's shirt for him - it was lots of 50-50 loosing raffle tickets.  Every Thursday morning at coffee and donuts, you can buy 3 tickets for $2 and then you can win $10.  Half of the money goes to the Rec Committee and the other half is paid out.  I actually won a couple weeks ago - I usually win once every couple of years; there are some people who win 6 or 7 times a year.  I just figure it's my contribution to the park.

Dad's shirt turned out really cute except he kept loosing his tickets as the evening wore on.

 Marv and Judy had lotza color and mismatched outfits. Notice Marv's socks match his hat. Now if he'd only smiled!!!  Pretty cute

 Notice Gary's shorts on OVER his blue jeans.  He never wears shorts except maybe once every 10 years if he happens to go swimming.

 This was our entertainment:

 He received a huge standing ovation and then he came back and played another couple of songs for us.  He came early for happy hour at the pool and stayed to visit with people after his performance.

Note:  dad's long hair.  He has not cut it since we arrived down here and doesn't intend to cut it til we get home??????  I sent his barber a note and asked if she would consider flying down to "clean him up".

Have a great week!!!  We're starting to pack - a little.

Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
