Perfect October weather in Carolina

The seven people pictured and named above, plus Shirley (taking the pics), made up our group of Saturday morning players in Morganton, NC. Though it's about an hour and 45 minutes for us to drive up from our home in Lexington, we try to get up and play as often as possible and were very happy to see some of our friends again for the first time in many months-- since the coronavirus pandemic interrupted our petanque year.

Shirley, Gary, Preston, Tess, Rom, Barb, Fred, Gail, Patrick, John W, Jack, Owen, Lucille, Anna, Jeff, Sam, Al, Heidi, Earl, Pam, Kirk, Bo, Parker, David, Ann, and Bob Moyer came out to play in Winston-Salem on Sunday afternoon. The crowd of twenty-six (26) was one of the largest of the year. We were still able to distance ourselves with the eight courts remaining after the AARP exercise facility replaced our old "sun courts."  Mask wearing remains near universal.

It would seem that the Covid season has many of us suffering from a little "cabin fever." That's the ONLY kind of fever we're happy with for sure.

We had quite a turnout yesterday at Miller Park, Gary, Shirley, Gail, John W, Jack, Patrick, Tina, Rom, Barb, Kerry, Sal, Preston, Tess, Nikki/David, Terry/Bridge/Liberty, Fred, and Bob showed up for a total of twenty. (Young Liberty played on the terrain with her dolls but did not play petanque. We inadvertently failed to get pictures of Nikki/David.)

Sal, Nikki/David, and Terry/Bridge/Liberty were walk-ups who live in the Miller Park area so we hope to see more of them in the future.

We tried to be aware of social distancing--no hugs, kisses, or handshakes-- and most people wore masks throughout the afternoon.

It's not the same as we're all used to, but it's still great seeing everyone.
