Another game night in the books. Good food and great fun as always. We were missing a few of the regulars this time, but we had a blast anyways. Bobbie brought us a new game that involved throwing burritos….what could go wrong?

I made a quick trip to Rockingham and had a nice visit with the family. We had our 2nd annual Labor Day Beach Day. Scott and i got there early to get us a nice spot. The others joined us later. We brought lunches and drinks, played games, enjoyed the ocean, and just had a good time.

It was time for another game night. As always, we had so much fun. After the games were over, a few of us continued the party at the Tiki Tavern. We stayed out way passed our bedtimes. haha

Mom, dad, and Rocko came for a visit. While they were here, mom joined my friends and me for dinner and a play about Bingo. I made us fun shirts to wear to the play. Also while they were here we took the pups swimming in the Cape Fear River. Rocko wasn’t too crazy about it. He really hated the…

There was lots of anticipation leading up to this year’s…

We left after work on Friday (thankfully we were able to leave early) and arrived at our location about 6:30pm. After checking into our hotel, our first order of business was to find a place to eat. We…
