2013 Christmas Party
What a great time at the party Friday night, December 13, 2013
A big thank you to Rick and Paula Moderow for inviting us into their lovely home.
Thanks to Connie and Sandy for organizing it and to Barry and Beverlie Bryant
for providing the ham.
Sandy took a new twist on the Dirty Santa Gift Exchange.
She gave us paper, pencil and
