Resourceful Tanglewood Ladies

We play Bunco once a month in the Activity Center.  Well tonight we had 44 women and just before we were ready to start playing at 6:30 PM the lights went out.  Well, you could imagine how 44 women reacted to not being able to play.

Well my husband brought 3 flashlights and some other women went home to get little lamps and more flashlights.  This was not going to stop us die-hards from playing Bunco.

We played like that for 1 hour when the lights came back on.  We had a great time regardless of no electricity.  We now realize how they did it in the olden days.

 
Ladies’ Luncheon, Jan 19

The Ladies’ Luncheon was held Jan 19 in the Clubhouse.  Those that attended either brought an appetizer or salad or dessert to share.  We had plenty of food.  Yummy, yummy  After we ate,there was a fashion show. Well, not exactly trendy!  I would call the outfits “over the top” for the fashion conscious. Thanks to the models, Ann Hudson, and all the helpers.  “Thank you” to all who attended.

You can see pictures of the Ladies Luncheon on PictureTrail.

Don’t forget to binder and sign up for the next Ladies’ Luncheon.

Attention Outback Homes

There seems to be some confusion concerning garbage days for the Outback homes. According to the office, since our garbage is picked up by the Park not the garbage company, there is no change to our schedule.  Therefore, continue to put your garbage out on Tuesday and Friday.
