| Robinson Elementary School 50's Sock Hop to support Kathy B. We had a great time . Fred &Terry, Ron & Bonnie, Ron & Linda, Larry & Janet, and of course Butch and Chad. I think I saw Jim and Wayne without their rods. Food was great and plentiful. |
Chad & guest, Ron & Linda, Lee A., Mel & Jan, Ken & Deb, Ron & Bonnie, Alex & Ione, Wayne & Peg, Ray & Margaret, George & Pearl . We met at Ron & Linda's Bonnie had the best poker hand and Ken had the low hand. We ventured down to Traver to Bravo Farms. Bob & Peggy met us down there. We enjoyed looking at all the collectibles, signs of yesteryear, and all the stuff inside and outside...could spend lots of time if you tried to see everything. Since that was the last stop we had lunch there, and then to each his own. A great big thanks to all of you who participated in the Blossom-less Run. Even though it was later in the year, the weather was windy but nice & sunny. Good to see George and Pearl out and doing well; hope they enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed the time with them. Thanks to Ron and Linda for providing a delightful array of food and coffee for the early departure. The setting is gorgeous and we did see some POPPIES IN FULL BLOOM. What a lovely view from their place. WOW! Thanks again to Alex and Ione for their help and support in planning etc. It appeared that a good time was had by all. |

| A little something from Mexico |
| Reminder: safety inspection on Sunday, April 19th. We'll start around 10:00 with lunch around noon. |
| Yes that's the group. And we had a wonderful time. The weather was great, the ship was beautiful, the food plentiful, the company awesome. We all cleaned up really well for the formal nights on board. The land excursions were very interesting. From walking tours to vans we made it work. The men were very patient with the ladies while we shopped. The on board help was just that VERY HELPFUL. Its a trip the we will remember for the rest of our lives. Janet |
| The most fun I had on the Camtwisters cruise was watching everyone have a great time, and the ladies shopping for gifts, and the men going with the ladies to shop, and all of us eating the good food. Leroy |
| What a great time we had at Senor Frog's Just ask any of us I'm sure we can tell you a funny story. I know I can!!!. |
| A funny story: When we were playing cards and Bob decided to get Leslie an ice cream cone. he delivered it to her . the top of the chocolate and vanilla cone started to fall off and Lesile caught it with her hands. it landed chocolate side up and looked like she was holding something else that looks chocolate....... Peggy |
| It was kind of funny when we gals went out on the 14th deck of the ship and the wind was blowing so hard we were running the jogging track whether we wanted to or not. It was good Janet was carrying her lap top and I was carrying the dominoes or we might have been a couple of "flying nuns" aka " flying Cam Twisters". Sharron |
| ANOTHER CRUISE TO REPORT |
| From the Thomas Twisters: We went to the Eastern Caribbean (Samana, Dominican Republic, ST. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas). All was wonderful. John's Mom got ill four days out and was OK two days later. At 5 a.m. As we docked in Miami Saturday morning I awakened to see that we had arrived and gotthe same thing. John called medical, they sent someone who gave me a shot, pills, more pills, powered Gatorade, and to make a long story short, hid me away until everyone was off the ship took me off the ship in a wheel chair, whisked us through customs and immigration without checking anything, put us in a blacked out Yukon and put us up for free in a very plush Marriott on the 16th floor where John proceeded to get ill. We flewout Tuesday. OTHERWISE THE CRUISE WAS FABULOUS AND I LOVE THE ISLANDS. Kay |
