WHAT A WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 2011

Bikers ready to roll

I just have to tell you about our weekend at the Samboree.   Started out on Thursday meeting Donna and Chuck Tolson and traveled to Urbanna.   We arrived around noon, got our rigs set up along with Winders and Raymonds and then just had a great time reconnecting with other memebers of the Samboree.  Larry and I had worked on Staff for thepast 2 years so we were glad to see all our "working" friends.Slept late on Friday morning, helped parked rigs , laughed and visited.  Opening ceremonies were great with Larry and Mem walking in with our Club Flag to listen to our group cheer the loudest for us.  Larry had a meeting to attend until about 11pm so I just hung out with Carol and Larry Welford for a while.  Saturday morning was WORK time. Our club was selling hamburgers for lunch, paper and hardcover books (just to get rid of) and Denny was selling some of his wine stoppers and pens.   Also our Club was sponsoring the FIRST ever motorcycle ride for the Good Sams.  We had 14 bikes so up and they rode about 50 miles and had a great time. We hope that this will be an annual event.  We charge $5 a rider and donated the money to charity.  We made about $216 for the club with food sales and $46 on books.  Later we had a spaghetti dinner for the club. A wonderful time was had by all .   Sunday morning we all started packing up to go our separate ways but talked and laughed about our next camping adventure in June. 

Welford, the leader

Larry &  Peggy  Settles

Larry and I are regrouping today and heading to Indy tomorrow.  Ally called in tears last night as Snickers her other cat is very ill so who knows where this is leading.  Snuggles died in November and that was very traumatic.   It is TIME for Mom and Dad to get to Indy.
