Happy Halloween to my mom & dad, Gary Jones and Shirley Jones! --Lynda Jones Acuna


 The winner of our costume contest. Carolyn Cornell. Very appropriate! She was perfect,--Shirley


Stephan Johns, from San Antonio, also places for medal yesterday. He always plays well!! A nice man, for sure!--Shirley Jones

 


 Two new friends!! Recent pétanque joiners! Patty and Lynn! ( Hope I got that right!) You know I LOVE new players to keep our game going!!!--Shirley Jones

 


 

Kim Landigotta, a Texas friend that I first met in NC through Tina Currie. Tina, a Texan (always) that Carolina Pétanque stole for ourselves!!
And, Jim, from French Legation host, and ,friend . Patty!--Shirley
 

 
Two Michaels !!! Both very nice!!! Magic Michael won !
And, Michael Plemmons paid tribute to his dad, ALSO, a great and gentle man! Surprising, how much you see all the resemblances !--Shirley
 

 Kelly Brownlee and Mary (Peter)- two female pétanque players to keep your eyes on, for many reasons! I remember when Kelly was a new player in Texas. And, Mary dressed as a cocktail parasol—imagine how CLEVER is that! Her slim figure, brown outfit, colorful parasol-popping up—out of your drink! So CLEVER!!--Shirley
 

Another new player, Cindy C., who was my first partner of the day. A very straight player-right to the pig!! Watch her! Delightful! And, she is a Texas Vodka producer!! The people that you meet and “HANG WITH “ in Texas. A variety, for sure!--Shirley
 

 
Lovely Carolyn Cornell I the picture! What an amazing woman!!
And, Marion Bermondy, another Texas player to watch!! Shoots and points!! And, such fun! A partner, I would LOVE any day!!--Shirley
 

 This man, Alex , won a medal at two things!! One , he placed yesterday for a medal! BUT, he can fly an amazing drone!! I watched in amazement as he manipulated his camera drone in and out to photograph a TRIBUTE to Jim Schwobel, whom everyone missed!!--Shirley
 

 
 I do not know who fixed this beautiful masterpiece, but, I am moving next door to them. Or, maybe between them and Rudy!!--Shirley
 

 
Why do pétanque players “waddle” in Texas???
Because of chefs like Rudy !!! Look at that French Apple tart! Too pretty to eat really!!--Shirley
