Birthdays, Anniversary & Blue Grass

This was an interesting day at the park.  The morning started off with a crepe breakfast put on by Mark & Susan.  Mark has worked in a restaurant in the past and he and Susan prepared the crepes for over 70 people this morning at the clubhouse.  The women ate for free since it was women's appreciation day.  I wonder what they will prepare for men's appreciation day??  Gerry and I had intended to go to the breakfast but Gerry woke up with a splitting headache and decided it would not be a good idea to attend.  We heard from friends that the crepes were excellent.  Now we have to talk Mark and Susan into preparing them again in the near future.

As the day wore on Gerry began to feel somewhat better and her headache subsided enough to go out to dinner with Sharon & Al to help them celebrate her birthday and their wedding anniversary.  On the way there we ran into some steers on the road out of the park.  This is the first time we've seen them there this year.  Now we have to watch it coming and going to avoid hitting one.  One little fella was quite curious and walked over to check us out and stared for a long while.  He had on his winter coat and looked like he must have been brought down from the top of the mountain with his long hair.



We decided on Mimi's Cafe as the place to go and had an excellent dinner there.  We've been to a couple Mimi's Cafe  in different cities and enjoyed the meals there.   This was a first time for Sharon & Al and they thought it was great. I still don't understand why Sharon got married on her birthday.  Now she only gets one present.  Bad timing


The park had a local Blue Grass band called Dusty River band playing this evening at the clubhouse.  There were 5 guys in the group and they put on quite a show.  The 2 hours went by very fast and they had the group clapping and toe tapping the whole time they played.  The clubhouse was full for their performance and there were only a few seats available.  It was the best turnout for an event this year and everyone enjoyed them.

The park is at it's fullest this year since we've arrived in December.  There are still open spaces, but each day new people come and go.  It looks like the RVers are finally arriving for the Gem show and all the other events going in the next few months.
