I have laundry going up at the laundry room, have read the paper and we are gearing up to join the Lee's after church at Mattheson's and then on to the Street Art Show in Key West.
As I mentioned in my blog yesterday afternoon, we just kind of hung out here at the camp all Saturday Afternoon. This afforded me the opportunity to take several candid shots of the gathering for the hamburger cookout. I wanted to get those pictures off the camera and into the blog - so, a little pictorial of our Saturday Afternoon friends at Lazy Lakes.
We sat and visited with Sharon and Ralph Shoemaker from Greenville NC during our burgers. I failed to take my camera earlier, so, I had to capture them on film later in the afternoon while Sharon was doing laundry (laundry and bathhouse - green building behind them.) As mentioned, Ralph was a professor of music at East Carolina University and Sharon was a teacher in the public school system, teaching LD Students. They leave tomorrow to drive up to Venice Fl. to watch a little baseball spring training.
Marty and Donna. Donna is the key office person here and one of the most likable people you could ever meet. Marty is the ace fisherman I have mentioned so often. Donna was wearing a dress on this day. She does work on Saturday's and as Saturday is the free food, music and beer hosted by the owner, Joe Cleghorn, (trying to lure potential campers or buyers of lots into Lazy Lakes) Donna generally dresses for the occasion - for those visitors that may be prospective buyers of lots or future rental patrons. Marty is currently suffering from the same illness that I, as well as many of the other campers have had in the last few weeks. He had just walked up to get a hamburger and was then "going back to bed."
During hamburgers, Terry was recruiting marble players. So, mid afternoon, the table was set up, that's Jim shuffling the cards. You see a part of Jerry in the green shirt in the background.
People gathered around the grill for burgers. Seated is Carolyn in the white shirt, haven't met the lady in the blue stripe shirt, that's Char in the black shirt, Lorraine in the white tank top and Terry talking to Dale at the grill.
Quick, candid shot of Dallas and Floyd. Dallas has been coming here for years (as well as Floyd and Terry) although we did not meet him last year. He was unable to come down in 2010 because he was going through his cancer treatments. Everyone here was glad to see him back and we were happy to get to meet the infamous Dallas.
This table had already enjoyed their burgers and were visiting as well as listening to the music. The band was playing out by the pool. That is Frisbee with the cap (one of the nicest guys in the world - always even, kind and smiling), Peggy to his left, Sue with the orange cap and Pat across from Frisbee. Pat is the person that broke her little finger while playing horseshoes. She and Peggy are the two sisters that, amazingly to me, spent four or five months here every winter, leaving their husbands back home. Sue is from Lexington SC.
John, Sandy and Mattie sitting by the pool enjoying the band. the band is playing to Mattie's immediate left.
A birds eye view of a marbles game. I stood on top of a picnic table that was behind the players.
Players, starting with Chuck with the band around his head, Char, her husband Jerry, Lorraine, Terry, Ron, Jim, Walter (Lorraine's husband) and Floyd (Terry's husband.)
This is Jake. Jake and his Dad, Bob, have lived across from us for about two weeks. Jake, as you can tell, is a love. He is 18 months old. He and his Dad are from central Florida and they left to go back home this morning (Sunday morning.)
As I blogged yesterday afternoon, I could look up through the front windows and see the sun. I have enjoyed this view from the campsite many, many times. I just stopped blogging and walked up to the clubhouse at the horseshoe pits to finally get this picture. The sun is going down over the salt shallows or flats. Just beautiful.
