Retiree's Picnic

We've had a couple of really cool days and nights but today was just beautiful for our Retiree's Annual Picnic at the New Lenox VFW.  They have a beautiful picnic area with a covered pavilion and open area with lots of picnic tables under lots of beautiful shade trees next to a rolling creek.  They set up all the tables and provide an ice one for the food that needs refrigeration.  They even furnish the bingo cards and setup so we can play after the noon meal at no cost to us.
Turnout was good.  We had some new people and some guest who used to work for the County but didn't retiree from there.  Plenty of time spent talking and catching up with what's going on in people's lives.  A lot of us will be leaving for warmer climate in a few weeks so we were making plans to meet up with the AZ ones and wishing good luck to the FL ones.  It's nice to have the picnic since we won't be around for the big Christmas Party in December.

  1. It's always nice to see old friends and even nicer when you are outside enjoying the nice weather. You can repeat that once you get back to Tucson, but you will have to pay for your bingo games.
