The Installation weekend is over. It was
a fun time for all. Lady Mary and I thank
Ill. Ted Dooley and Lady Barbara for all
their hard work. They did a great job.
They are now on there way to Florida for
a spell to relax. As far as I know everybody
had a great time. The DJ Friday
night was good (Sounds Good DJ). The
band “Rainy Tuesday” for Saturday
night played classic rock and even I was
dancing. I did well keeping up with my
two granddaughters, but do I feel it today.
