2023-11-29 TRR La Grange Rally

 I've included pictures here of things that we actually did at the park during the rally. Other places and things we did are in their own posts. We had some great entertainment provided by our hosts and other guests. First off, our three hosts Anne, Judy, and Susan were unrecognizable in their ZZ Top personas as they entertained us the first night. remember this photo when you check out the next post.



We also had entertainment from the Lawrence Welk show as Rita played her accordian for us.


It was a Welk special "champagne" performance including dancers Vicki and Barbara.

Elaine, Mary, and Susan stepped up to the plate to sing accompaniment to Rita's  music. I should mention that we also had some great meals thanks to Elaine's magic changing the frozen shredded chicken from the last rally into some delicious chicken spaghetti along with garlic bread and a fantastic salad whipped up by Judy.  The next night we were all going to bring salads for a salad potluck dinner but that was changed to tacos and taco salad when Elaine worked some more magic with frozen ground beef from the last rally. She also whipped up refried beans and Judy had more salad for those who wanted to do taco salad instead of tacos. 

Next up with the christening of two new rigs. Mary just got this nice little trailer with rear entry.

We all got a tour and she showed us her outdoor kitchen that pulls out of the storage area.

Beverly also surprised us all with a brand new rig, a huge beautiful Class A. She and her six dogs were loving it.

I had to show Anne's site as she went all out with Christmas decorations. She also had blowups and lots of outdoor lights. It was really nice.

Cathy and Anne braved the pool on a sunny day. I say "braved" because the pool was beautiful but not heated.

It really was a lot more comfortable just soaking up the sun without the water.

More entertainment was in the works. We all wore some Christmas outfits. Host Anne had a fantastic Mrs Clause outfit and Mary made a cute elf. Susan made a decent Santa. We played Christmas bingo and they had some fantastic prizes to hand out. 

A lot of us were already gone when this wild bunch had a rousing game of Left, Right, Center. It was reported that Mary got so excited that she knocked a whole glass of wine over on Rita but I don't have pictures to share so that may only be a wild rumor, lol.

Here is our rally photo. It's a little different than our usual photo as we all brought an item to show something about ourselves. I have a dachshund on my shoulder. The kayakers are easy to see but  needlepoint, fishing, cooking, pickleball, hiking, dogs, and some other hobbies were represented.
