WINE TASTING AT TT CHESAPEAKE BAY







May 07 - On Friday evening, Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay had a nice Wine Tasting Social. Members each brought a bottle of wine to share with the others and Chesapeake Bay provided cheeses and crackers.

It was a most enjoyable event!!

LINE DANCING WITH DOTTIE!!

It was great having Dottie and Larry at Chesapeake Bay this past week. They both play Pickleball AND Dottie loves to Line Dance!!! The two of us had something like Line Dance Work Shops in the afternoons where the two of us practiced and danced and danced several exciting line dances – Scrap It, Swamp Thang, Zatchu and others. It was so much fun!!

I have volunteered to teach Line Dancing here on weekends when we are in the park. On Friday afternoon Cathy and Carol came to join Dottie and me for some dancing.

IT’S CINCO DE MAYO!!!

The Pickleball group at TT Chesapeake Bay decided to help Mexico celebrate it’s independence on Cinco de Mayo. There’s a new Mexican Restaurant in town – Salsas. That’s where we decided to meet for dinner. And a delicious dinner it was!

Upper right – Rene and Mira shared combination fajita for two.
Upper left and Lower right – Faye and Ken each had beef fajita.
Lower left – Nate’s fajita and nachos. Krystal had the same. Never heard of that before but it surely did look yummy!!





And, of course, the Jumbo Margaritas!!



Here's the group - Left to Right: Krystal, Mira, Rene hiding, Dottie, Austin, Eric, Larry, Faye, Ken, Nate.

Austin, Eric, Larry, Faye, Ken, Nate, Krystal, Mira, Rene hiding, Dottie.

We were having a great time and enjoying the conversation until they turned up the volume on the music – and it was not even Mariachi music!! Larry and Rene finally had them turn it down.

MORE HAPPENINGS AROUND CHESAPEAKE BAY

We were riding around in the golf cart on Saturday, and guess what we saw!!! Some friends of ours, Jimmy and Wayne, were helping other friend, Rick and Shelia, install a new awning!! Wow!! If we had know that service was offered here at Chesapeake Bay, we could have saved ourselves some big buck$ instead of having our new awning installed at Camping World!!




Turtles sunning in the pond.

Brad and Carla were fileing their puppy's toe nails!! This is the same WEENIEBAGO puppy that was in the Pet Costume Contest at Chesapeake Bay last Halloween!! Ken wants them to file his toe nails next!!
