Navarro Mills Lake, Oak Park August 21-24, 2016
It was a hot weekend that included threatened site cancellations, lost sunglasses, a birthday celebration, and a new game with no rules and rubber chickens.
Campers were SharonR and her daughter BandiD, JudyB (visitor), LindaW, LindaBW, SusanW, GloriaB, BeverlyT, and SandyO. Sharon R, LindaBW, LindaB (visitor), and I arrived on Thursday.
Friday we were expecting the others when I got a phone call that a couple of our ladies had just received cancellation emails. In a panic, LindaBW and I headed to the office. Thankfully, the emails had been sent in error so all was well. The night before SharonR had lost her glasses. The next morning she found them on the ground by her picnic table, stepped on. She did manage to bend them back to some extent.
On Friday, LindaBW lost hers. She found them in her toolbox after she got home on Sunday. Linda BW’s husband surprised her, but not us, by coming to the park Friday night with a birthday cake and presents. We had fun celebrating with Linda and Tom.
In other activities, our ladies kayaked, some fished and actually caught fish, toured the other parks on the lake, visited Collin Street Bakery, and made purchases at a nearby garage sale.
On Saturday night we had a potluck which, as typical of TOWN, was delicious topped off the SharonR’s Strawberry Banana Nut ice cream. I think we would allow her to do that again. Of course, we started our evening with Gloria B’s margaritas and pina coladas.
After dinner the ladies broke out one of Linda BW’s birthday presents, a Flicking Chicken game. Don’t ask! Sunday morning we ventured down to Miss Peggy’s, a nearby cafe, for breakfast and afterward parted ways.
