Notes about this Trip
The weather could have been better. It could have been worse. We had a lot of nice sunshine during the day both Friday and Saturday. Then late in the afternoon, both days, we got the wind and rain. Saturday night was like a hurricane. Went out at midnight to tighten up the ropes that held down the dining room. Very windy with rain. Sunday morning was very nice and sunny with a chilly wind. By 2:00 pm, it turned to crap and started to rain, again. The Darges and Hagmanns quit and went home leaving those silly Tonkavichs there to brave it one more night.

The men won at Skip-Bo. Alan had a double run of hearts in Pinochle (a first). Al and Shelly came by for dinner and games.
