Friday with The WWWs

Sherriff Buddy was on the prowl early this morning.  Many thought the shirts were to be worn on Saturday but thought we were exempt from using them on this New Year weekend.  Anyway, Manuel got a double citation ($0.50).  One for not wearing his WWW Red Shirt and the other for not wearing his Veteran cap....   Many others were cited so we can hardly wait for the Sherriff's report Saturday morning.

Fri 12.30.11 002

Manuel went and changed into his red shirt and so did many others....

Fri 12.30.11 004

We took it easy all day, just visiting, others went shopping and yet others just took naps.

At 5 p.m., we gathered at the rally room for Italian pot luck....Food was great, as always!
