THONG 'N TELL RECAP

Thong 'n Tell night was a fun night. First we had dinner and drinks, then we did a "guess the picture" contest....are these pictures cute! One of us (who will remain anonymous) forget her picture so Peggy drew a picture of her...yep, aren't we silly!

There was a prize for the most right....Deb Hankins and Carol Warren were in a tie, but Carol answered the tie breaker question correctly and won...what else, but a Gumby!
Gumby made his way around the room...he even enjoyed some of the chips!

We then each shared something that was "nostalgic" to us. The stories were great!

Here Ginger shares a rag rug she made. Her grandmother had taught her to make this when she was much younger. Ginger talked about how her grandmother kept everything and found a "new" use for things even when the original use was no longer needed...example, made this rag rug out of old clothing!

Deb Hankins shared her favorite vacation was when she took her two daughters to Jamaica. She knew her girls were getting to that age when time together would be more difficult to find as the girls grew up and started their adult lives, so off they went to Jamaica. She had pictures of them zip-lining too! Here's a picture of them enjoying a fun time together!

Peggy brought a family picture that was taken in the fall in anticipation of the family Christmas card...a while ago! Peggy is #5 of 7 children! Oh my! She said every year her mother would line them up in age range (oddly, it always worked out to be height range too).

Carol shared a fabulous story about her husband sending her flowers for NO REASON...no, he was not in the dog house, no he had not made her mad, no he had done something he hadn't told her about...he just sent her flowers because he loved her and was thinking of her. They have been married over 25 years and are still in love. Sigh....thanks for sharing Carol!!!

Gail brought out her autograph dog. How fun! The wording was getting light as the years have passed, but she could still read some of the fun things that were written on the dog. One said something about "Fat Aunt Nat", but the best was the one that said "To My-Self from Gail". What a hoot!!!

And this picture is soley so you can all see that Jean-Paul has made it through the BT group for one whole year...there he is in the background! Ahhhh....a lovely sight!
