RAMBLING Wednesday, December 12th was the night of our Rotary Club’s Christmas Party. Food and fun with a group of long time friends.

Was it a “wet ‘n’ wild” * party? No but it did rain as little in the evening.

Was it a sleepy? No, but lots of good food and a couple of drinks have an interesting effect on me.

So what kind of party was it? More on this later in the newsletter.
