Five Crowns
A new card game for Ladies Game Night. Fun. One round took about 2 hours.
TGIF
at Four Seasons Westshore. They were going to cancel if no one volunteered. So I volunteered. I was lucky because another very-experienced resident was also there to help.
I set up my lap top, projector and screen and showed a looping slideshow of the Chili Cook Off and 50 Bikes for 50 Kids.
This Friday, the group was quite small. (Yay, less clean up at the end!)
Crete Island neighbors, Leslie, Judy, and Silvana:
50 Bikes for 50 Kids
8:30 am arrival.
The first room where everyone registered and got their t-shirt and students met their build team.
The second room was set up with 25 bike-building stations.
The first 25 students building their bikes:
Meanwhile I set up a skills course, the last step in the process.
In the afternoon, 25 more students arrived. There were two build teams from Four Seasons Westshore. My neighbors Matt & Colleen worked with a high school girl who preferred no photographs.
Ray and Lynn worked with an autistic high school boy:
The skills course had several volunteers throughout the day.
Four Seasons residents also donated $290 to 50 Bikes for 50 Kids which meant our name got onto the banner.
Chili Cook Off
This was the 10th Annual Four Seasons Chili Cook Off tonight at Four Seasons. A popular (delicious) event, the ballroom was packed.
There were about 15 crockpots full of chili to try.
Each person got 4 small bowls for tasting, but could go back and try all of them. Four were enough for me. 
There were also 4 large tables in the corners of the room with cornbread, salad, and desserts.
The 4 judges began tasting 1 1/2 hours before the event started for the rest of us. The winner:
Thank you Adrienne for going with me.!
Four Seasons Quilt Group
My favorite Four Seasons group. Today there was sewing, embroidery, knitting, snacks to eat,
group problem-solving,
and project-sharing.
TGIF
at the Four Seasons lodge.
A smaller group than some Fridays. TGIFs are the 1st and 3rd Fridays of every month. BYOB and a dish to share.
The Crete Island Lane table:
Plus, Felicia (orange sweater) who lives nearby – her first TGIF since moving here two years ago! This was just my second TGIF. We helped each other get there tonight!
Christmas party
The Ladies Game Night group got together this evening to celebrate the season. Fun!
Christmas home tour
Ten Four Seasons Westshore residents opened their homes for the annual Christmas tour. Adrienne came with me, we walked the tour, and barely got to all of them in 3 hours. Amazing decorations, especially the trees!
Harvest Festival
My neighbor Kathie and I decided to go early in the day to the Harvest Festival at Cal Expo. Apparently lots of other people had the same idea.
We were really proud of our spending restraint, we left almost empty-handed. Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun.
