Good Times in Tuscany

We had a full house this morning. Tom and Liz stopped by from New Haven to see what we had going in Tuscany. They were impressed. Maybe they can get something going in their clubhouse too.

Mark showed up to learn to play bocce. Bruce had told him how much fun it was. Ted, Tom and Bill completed the bocce-boy rowdies. Leslie kibitzed and Jack and Muffin officiated, kinda. 

There was some serious concern at the jigsaw puzzle station. The current puzzle has a Halloween theme. It is rather difficult and the puzzlers were not sure they could complete it by Thanksgiving (gasp!) much less by Halloween. They might have to schedule an extra morning to finish it in time. Such problems we have here in Tuscany!

The goody table was overflowing with coffee, mini muffins, candies and sweet breads. 

Good times!

Fall is in the Air

The first real Fall Monday in Tuscany and the Clubhouse Gang played it to the limit.  It was Sue's birthday. We all sang. Sue cried. (A dozen people singing different harmonies separately was no doubt the reason.) 

Sue brought ginger cookies. She made a special one for Jack. It was covered with zombie grapes! (Must have been in observance of Halloween.)

Ted and Barbara joined the group. Barbara rocked the jigsaw puzzle while Ted kept Leslie in check. Bill, Bruce, Jack and Adele played bocce. Bill is still unbeaten over the past two months.  Jack is still a loser.  We now know who the weak link really is. Bruce is a natural, says it's just like throwing hand grenades. Ouch!

The jigsaw puzzle is coming along nicely. It is a particularly tough one with many pieces and few colors. It might get completed by Thanksgiving.

Have a great week, everyone.  See you next Monday!
