May 14, 2009 in Virginia

Shirley and I were in Goochland, Virginia, recently to attend a wedding reception for our nephew and his new wife (congratulations Adam and Lydia!). Since we were only about a forty-five minute drive from Richmond, we had planned in advance to get in a few games with the Boulefrogs of Churchill.

Churchill is an historic area of Richmond where many of our Virginia petanque friends live. I'm sure most of you will remember the contingent that came down to play in our 2008 CarolinaPetanque open last May. Since they were such a nice group of people, we made a mental note at the time to look them up if we were ever in the area.

We sure are glad we did! They were just as nice as we had remembered and extremely hospitable to us as visitors.

Here are just a few snaps that Shirley made of our Thursday evening play with the gang.
