A Quick Little Getaway

Dale had to work on the weekend so Kasey and I spent Saturday overnight at Cedars Resort in Ferndale at the last F.V.E. outing of the year. After a 48 minute wait at the border (I knew I should have taken Pacific Crossing and not Peace Arch!), a quick grocery & wine stop, and we arrived at 10:10 AM - just in time for the 10:30 meeting I mistakenly thought was 10:00 AM. Whew - not late! 
After the meeting, we got set up and then browsed the “Garage Sale” going on. We picked up a couple of storage cubes, jackets and free map books. Kasey insisted on the “Freebie” map books so I could do away with the one I had from “19 tickety-doo” but I like the atlas I have from early 90’s and I’m keeping it!
Kasey went for a nap (after all - I had woken her sooooo early on a Saturday)! I made up a Veggie Braid for "Happy Hour" and then Allison and Tony arrived soon after. They got set up and I joined them on their walk checking out the park. We had a little early “happy hour” of our own before joining the group one at 4:00 PM. 
I introduced Tony & Allison to the group at “Happy Hour” and they made the the rounds with Joyce, meeting other members one on one. We all browsed the wedding photo’s on display that had been brought by the attendee’s. Everyone was trying to guess who was who - some were easy and some took a lot of guessing. We went back to the rigs after a while to get ready for dinner at 6:00 PM.
Dinner was a Pot Luck dinner with some delicious food followed by everyone giving a quick version of how they met and married their spouse. There were some wonderful and some very funny stories. It made for a fun evening. I can't forget to mention the 50/50 draw. I should explain however that as I was making my way up to buy the tickets, Kasey snatched the $5. out of my hand and said “I’ll get them”, returned, tore the strip of tickets in half and gave me one half and kept the other half for herself. Low and behold didn’t her half contain the winning ticket!!!! She did give me back my $5. out of HER WIN of $50. - quite decent of her don’t you think? After the clean up of dinner there were a few rounds of “Right, Left and Center” where I had to sub her the 75 cents buy in because she had no change!
After a good nights sleep we joined the group for morning muffins, said good bye to Tony and Alison before heading off about 9:30 to hurry home for my granddaughter Dallyce’s Baptism at noon. Another short, sweet, but fun little getaway!

A rousing, cut-throat game of "Right, Left, and Center"!
