Bo turns 39 (maybe a little more?) !

Bo Edwards had a birthday! She and Kirk hosted a birthday get-together and buffet for a group of her petanque-playing friends at Michel Baudouin's newest restaurant, serving French comfort food, at RendezVous located at 184 New Haw Creek Road in Asheville, NC.

It was great! There had been a significant afternoon thunderstorm just before we arrived around 3:30 and the courts were pretty well flooded. By the time more of the crowd started rolling in, we had toweled down all the outdoor furniture, and Michel had done a little excavating of some temporary drainage channels on the terrain which had improved things considerably.

Still we had to search out the dry areas for games. It worked out okay and there were three or four active games going at a time by the time we had to leave for the drive home.

I'm sure Bo had a happy birthday, and that was the whole idea,
