I did, can you tell?
Saturday night we went to the local VFW hall for their annual St. Patrick’s Day corn beef and cabbage dinner. Along with the food, they had an open bar and DJ. We had a great time. A few weeks ago, Margaret, one of Barbara’s caregivers, called me and invited Lori and I out for dinner at the VFW hall. We became very close to Margaret while she was taking car of Barbara and have kept in touch ever since.
Margaret’s boyfriend Andy, is a member of the local VFW so when we got there, he made his pitch to get me to join. Lori and Margaret chatted and got to know each other while Andy showed me around. First stop was the bar for a drink.
He introduced me to a lot of the members and told me a lot about the VFW and the things they do in the community. Then he took me downstairs to the clubhouse and bar. They have a fully stocked bar (drinks are $2 Friday nights), a pool table and a juke box. Just my kind of place. Really a nice place to hang out and party.
Several members invited me to come to the next meeting and see if I would like to join. I think what clinched it, was when I showed one of the guys the picture I took of him taking a picture of his wife's ass. He told Andy that I'd fit right in.
We ate good this weekend too! Other than the corned beef and cabbage feast we had Saturday night, Friday I made a big pot of chipotle soup that we had with sandwiches, Saturday morning I made cinnamon buns for breakfast, Sunday morning we had the leftover cinnamon buns for breakfast and Sunday evening for dinner I made Rachael Ray’s ‘Chili-Cheese Dogs in Beach Blankets’ with baked beans and potato chips.
The best part about the weekend was that Lori’s ass was feeling a lot better after her hemerroidectomy, so we managed to get caught up on some much needed snuggling.

Seriously that's one thing I miss about the North is the social organizations and the fire halls etc. It's just not the same down South. I can't quite explain it, but it's just not as homey.
Glad Lori was feeling better, she looks great in her green as do you!
Looks like a great time. Awesome pics; you and Lori look like you are having a blast..fun, fun, fun!!
