We love our Small Group Socials!

A couple of weeks ago our "small" group had their end of the year picnic. Everyone had a nice time even if the skeeters, birds, and bats were trying to mess it up. Being out in nature isn't always predictable.....but we escaped unscathed....well, pretty much, right Margarita!

We had a great time and we are probably gonna do this once or twice more before the summer ends.

We women took over the bottom deck and talked girl talk while the level headed men stayed on the small deck and tackled the problems of the world and got them all worked out....oh, if it were just that easy.

Carol is a natural hostess and kept things flowing. Thanks to our fearless social leader, Lora, who tells us where to go, what to bring and when to go. We would be lost without her organizational skills.

Mary Julia, Helen's granddaughter, is here for the whole summer. I am so sorry I didn't get a good shot of her her beautiful Florida State smile. Sorry about that. Next time I promise.

Miss Artie is enjoys the girl talk, too.

Margarita and Nancy seem to be having a pretty good time...even if the bats were hovering.

Henry and Margaret....friends who have moved off to Hattisburg were in for a few days and it was great to see them again.

Helen's daughter, Joanna, was here from Jackson, MS. We are always glad to see her and her little pup, Lucia.

Mr. C. and Mr. F. love a good picnic.

Jim was a the "burgermiester".....those Tech Farm burgers were just right!

These are level headed men if given appointments by the Obama administration could get this whole mess turned around and headed in the RIGHT direction again...I have no doubts!

I wish I could remember what we were all laughing about here. I think it was whatever Helen said in the picture above. We all love to hear Sonya laugh and it is contagious.

Here is Lora trying to keep her ankles away from the mosquitoes.
