John & Nancy Baumann’s July 4 BBQ

John and Nancy Baumann decided to have an impromptu 4th of July BBQ at their home in Dana Point — probably their last get-together before the big move to their new home in Arkansas later this summer. Thank you, John and Nancy! The celebratory champagne was wonderful, the burgers and side dishes were delicious, but we missed John’s guitar playing. Guess we’ll have to take a trip to Arkansas to enjoy his music.

After dinner, guests “Captain” Dennis and his wife, Raelynn, invited us to watch the fireworks from their yacht. What a treat!

Kiowa Golf and Get-together – Phoenix – May 2014

On May 3-5  Butch & Mary Lightfoot hosted our Kiowa semi-annual golf tournament and get-together at their home in Arizona. Judging from Butch’s comments below, everyone had a good time.

Here’s what Butch had to say:

“For the three days, I would have to say that the ladies were the rowdiest, in that they drank 2 1/2 gallons of sangria, 5 quarts of margaritas, unknown quantities of cerveza, and whatever hard liquor shots (stationed directly behind where they chose to sit) that they could consume.
“The men were much more calm and collected, consuming only soda, 96 bottles of beer, tequila, Crown Royal, Black Velvet, Tanqueray, Grey Goose, and Jameson.
“For the three days of munching,  24 pounds of top sirloin tri-tip steak, 12 pounds of chicken wings, and 8 pounds of tiger prawns were consumed, along with homemade potato salad, pasta salad, numerous appetizers, and four desserts.  My thanks to my wife Mary, daughters Summer and Cyndy, and Rosa Whiteley for their efforts – this get-together would not have been possible without them.
“The next social will be in Palm Springs in either October or November – hosted by Richard Montes and the ‘vatos’.”
