Movie Meeting Update -
Sally 6 of
us met for the September LM meeting, an outing to see the new movie
"Women" at Eastridge. Marti, Vicki, and Sally tried the Japanese
restaurant in the food court. The remake of the 30's movie was
disappointing; long, slow, and not terribly clever. Great cast,
but it needed better writing. We found a few moments that caused
a chuckle.
Beach Breakfast Update - Sue
Butler We had
a great turn out (obviously we had the Wilsons, the Butler’s (including
Eddie, JB, Jennifer and Joey, Ellie and Rudy) the Nevoli’s (including
Amy, Brett, and Abbey, and Spice) the Kranak’s and Mike Ballard and his
boss, Sue, Charles and Levi, and the Gerlinger’s already camping there
for the weekend. We had Bret (with one t) Adam, Shirley, Kathy
and Keith, Sally, Krystal and Sean show up for the beach breakfast on
Saturday morning. After a wonderful HEART ATTACK breakfast some
went for a walk along the beach, and others just crashed or visited at
the campsites. It’s always nice to kick back and visit with all
of our friends. Joan and Walt’s #59 site seems the best to
host the breakfast as there is so much room to set up for
everyone. For those who wish they could have been there,
hopefully we will see you NEXT time!
Bocce Ball Update Version 1 by Sally: 8 hard core
bocce enthusiasts headed out to St. Francis Cabrini, dinner in hand, to
test our skill (or is it luck?) at the recent couples event on
September 27. Though Bud and Sue, and Charles and Sue put forth a
good effort, no one could defeat the amazing Amazon woman team of
Kathy/Sally who reigned undefeated all night (okay, two games).
Joan and Walt might not have won a game, but Joan's delicious fresh
apple crisp, and Walt's fire pit and coffee were the highlight of the
evening. Version 2 by Sue Butler: 8
people ventured out on a beautiful evening at bocce de St. Frances
Cabrini to attempt to reign as champions. Only 2 came out on top,
Kathy R with partner Sally. Those two kicked some serious butt,
but
even the losers had fun. Fun enough to have us for homemade apple
crisp afterwards at their place. Thank you Joan and Walt.
Sue and
Charles and Bud and Sue filled the middle of this event. Not sure
if
we will plan bocce next year so much in advance. That way, maybe
we
can get more participants.
Missed seeing
the usuals and hopefully next time we’ll have the more of the regular
gang.
Napa B&B Tour & Taste Event When: Saturday, December 6, 2008
Time: 2 PM to 7 PM
Cost: $55 per person for ticket (went up $10.00 this year)
The Napa Holiday Tour is the first Saturday of December. Last
year several of us either spent Friday and Saturday or Saturday and
Sunday nights at the Napa Inn which is one of the B & B's on the
tour.
If you stay 2 nights at the Napa Inn, one ticket for the tour is
included.
I think there was approx. 12 B&B's that you go to (some are walking
distance from each other on the tour) and they also provide a shuttle
to get you to each one.
There is plenty of food and wine at each stop, and the holiday
decorations and entertainment is well worth the trip. Anyway,
there is so much food; we didn't even have dinner that night, although
some did go to various restaurants within walking distance. It
runs from 2-7 p.m. that day only (12/6.) We have already
booked. This time we are finally staying in the main house.
Some friends are planning on staying at the Embassy Suites which is
walking distance from the Napa Inn. If you are interested in the Napa
Inn you can call them directly at 1-800-435-1144 (you can also go to
their website to check out rooms and availability.)
The web site to just order tickets for the tour if you are not planning
to stay in Napa or if you are staying only one night at the Napa Inn or
whatever is: http://napaholidaytour.com/

How to Succeed... Once again, David and Randi
are performing in the musical, "How to Succeed in Business without
Really Trying." David plays a manager (lecherous at times!) and
Randi reads the book... "How to Succeed..." and both are in the chorus
in many big numbers. This musical is based on the old movie with
Robert Morse and was then on Broadway starring Matthew Broderick.
The dates are Oct. 23, 24, and 25 at 7:30pm in the Pioneer Performing
Arts Center. Attached is the ticket
order form for your convenience, as all seats are reserved on a
first come, first serve basis. Thanks, as always, for supporting
the arts! Randi :-)
