Deck the boules...

Our hostess

...and host (with Wade)

Bo and Kirk invited us to their Spruce Pine home on December 1, to get the holiday season started. Though the weather outside was frightening, the Edwardses were still inviting and we managed to have a great time. Some visited and played in the rain-- some just visited. John Gantt and Steve showed up with Wade, so he was the center of attention for quite a few, Shirley among them.

It was nice to see a few people that we had not seen in a while. That adds a lot of meaning to the phrase "Happy Holidays!"

One more November session at Miller Park

...a bright, bright sunshiny day. Wednesday play.

Where did November go? You just turn around after Amelia and it's gone.

Shirley and I don't make it all the way up to Asheville for Friday evening play too often, but when we do, we always have a great time. Play is getting tough-- Shirley was not able to be on a winning team at all, and I was only one-for-three. Seems like we used to win a few games. Times they are a-changing.

3rd Saturday play at Nevin Park in Charlotte

Nice day. We continue to draw good crowds in Charlotte with our once-a-month scheduled play.

Serious? (selfie)

November in Carolina can be nice or cool or cold. Some thought it was cold on Wednesday. I vote for cool!
