Camping Friends at Lake Somerville - Oct. 2010



The weather was great for our weekend at Lake Somerville State Park. It was warm during the day but cool enough to enjoy a fire at night.
















Hilarious auction

The auction was so much fun! Everyone brought a wrapped gift and we bid on them sight unseen. Some of the gifts were nice, some useful, and some downright funny. Look at Dan & Linda when they got the "Joy of Sex" book.
The big winners of the evening were Mike & Barb who got "custody" of Baby Dunkette. There is a long, funny story behind Baby Dunkette. Mike & Barb will have custody for the next year (see custody ceremony).









The Boomers "legal eagles".

Pumpkin carving contest










Paul won the pumpkin carving contest with Darlene second and Carolyn third.




"Garbage can" dinner







Sounds terrible but tastes great. We all had a good time with our garbage can dinner. Notice how hard the cooks worked!

Friends at Six State Rally

FMCA - Six State Rally 2010


















The chapters has booths and the Thousand Trails of Texas group asked me to be in their booth. We also had "Happy Hour" every afternoon in the parking lot between two coaches.

Townhouse on Cross Lake









Sam's girlfriend Pat has an unbelievable townhouse on the lake. The back walls upstairs and downstairs are all glass. The water laps up on the beach and the view is awesome! The "townhouse" is larger than my house and has an elevator inside. It is the kind of place I can only dream of living in! We had dinner there twice. Pat is a wonderful hostess, cook, and fabulous person to top it all off!
