Tiki Pool party & Potluck

There was a tiki pool party today for happy hour and it was held too late in the day to actually jump in the pool, so we just had wine, cheese, crackers and grapes.  We got there a little late, but still in time to celebrate with the group.  It was a bit cool after the sun went down and we all drank some more wine and the the party moved indoors.  A couple more drinks and we probably would have jumped in the pool or hot tub.

There was a potluck dinner at the rec center and we enjoyed a variety of food and good company.  Gerry prepared some meatballs and took them to the dinner.  They were good, actually too good, since they all disappeared quickly.  Judy prepared some enchiladas and they also went quickly.  Dee's smoked polish sausage and sauerkraut was finished before we even got to the dish.



Judy and Steve stopped by after the potluck dinner and we had a few drinks and chatted for a couple hours.  They are leaving the park for Texas on Friday and we will miss them.  They like to get out and do different things and like to see new places.   

Earlier in the day I went shopping for some needed items at Costco.  Where else?   They had Turbo Tax Deluxe tax preparation software on sale for $39.99 after a $10.00 rebate.  As usual, there were more items in the basket than I intended to buy, so the savings didn't cover them.

Office Max had a 20% off bag in the Sunday papers so I took advantage of that to buy the latest Family Tree Maker program which includes three months free subscription to Ancestry. com.    I installed the program, activated the subscription and started checking into some family information.  I ran down a few leads and found some information that I didn't have.  Nice program.
