One of Sal's big fish from our camping trip with a professional fisherman. He caught several this weekend, as did many of our friends from our camping group.

Our new camper!

This past weekend was camping "commencement" weekend for our camping group, we had tried to schedule 2 seperate trips prior to this but Mother Nature decided to give us our only 2 snowstorms of the year these two Spring weekends! We went to Pueblo this weekend for 4 nights, the weather was beautiful the first two days and just ok the second two. Steve and Julie and Vince and Lisa camped with us and some other camping friends joined us for dinner on Saturday. Here are some pics of the great weekend and our new second home!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER KAITLIN!! SHE IS 5 YEARS OLD TODAY!

BINGO - Have you ever had the Bingo Police come after you? Well, here in North Carolina it is evidently very bad to use different colors of daubers....... I am here visiting Melissa, Chris and Aidden and Melissa, Dawn (Jerry's wife) and I went to Bingo. When I play Bingo I like to use different daubers and make my bingo cards as colorful as i can, not just 2 differenet colors, sometimes 3 and 4. Melissa kept telling me that was not allowed there, I laughed..... You mean anyone would actually care if you used both blue and yellow on the same bingo card......seriously now....so I kept on using the three different colors - yellow, purple and OMG Blue! So, here I am in the middle of a coverall and some lady comes up to me and says "no, no, no, you can't do that", I thought Melissa or Dawn put her up to it and laughed, she said "If you win, we won't pay you...." I laughed again and asked her if we were on "America's Funniest Home Video's" or "Candid Camera" she says no its in the rules......OK - why in the heck would anyone care if you used more than one color, she says - well, if you bingo then someone else has to verify it - ok - makes sense for about 2 seconds cause they don't verify cards anymore, they just read off the printed black number at the bottom of the bingo card.....Seriously now, I have played Bingo in many different states....this is a first. The BINGO Police are alive and well in North Carolina - and I thought Louisiana was a little backwards........Do you think they allow different color of daubers in France????

The holiday season has come and gone! Today is Sal's birthday and he is Washington DC for work meetings. Not a whole lot is going on in our lives which can be a good thing. I miss my grandkids even though I just saw them in Nov/Dec. I will go see Kati and Ava in March for a week but that seems like so far off right now and hopefully will see Aidden sometime soon also. There just isn't a whole lot to report on, here are a few recent pictures of the grandkids:
