         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
Friday, December 4, 2015:     Deep Diver Paula invited her SCUBA diving buddies over for a party.  Four more came later. 

This is an annual event where the crew meets, sees Winter Wonderland, and then back to the Lodge.
Yes, there was a smoked white fish on a plate that the divers loved.  Seeing and eating fish is their thing.
 
Then there were the dive stories about how big the fish were that they saw. 
 
Some of the stories are true!
 
Plenty of great conversation about life and diving.
 
Ladies like to get together to talk...sometimes about men!
 
Then it was discovered that three of them had pedometers to track their walking mileage every day.  It is a trend today.
 
Josh is a U.S. Marine, Iraq War veteran, and a great guy. 
 		 Chef Paula made pizza from scratch.  A real treat.
 
One pizza was well baked.  Mark remembered why he learned to eat well done food.  It was when his mother and father would enjoy a cocktail before dinner.  One drink led to another and dinner was well done by the time it was served!
 
Yes, there were Gold Fish Cheddar Crackers to munch on.  A BIG hit with the SCUBA divers that night. 
The Grand Fireplace did well too with wood from the Gilbert Lodge estate.
 
Then it was story time.  Mark, with an elf hat, read Twas The Night Before Christmas.

Everyone loved it.
Then Paula read Louise to the hoots and hollers of the audience. 

That one is not repeatable in a family setting.
Quote of the day:    The holidays are a wonderful time.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
