Celebrating the End of 2011

The hats said "Happy New Year" and it was billed as a New Year's Eve party. It was, indeed, held on the eve of the new year. But what we really celebrated was the end of the old year, 2011.

I say this because by the time 2011 rolled past our time zone, the clubhouse was dark and all the revelers were tucked soundly in their beds so they would be refreshed and ready to greet the New Year this morning.

Regardless of what we were celebrating, we had a good time! The evening started by enjoying the fellowship of good friends (some long-time, some recent) and a pizza dinner with salad and cookies. And more conversation!

Joan organized (?) five tables (20 people) of the card game The Friendship Game. It's a multi-handed "tournament" in which the rules for each hand are different. It's a team game, but partners change with every hand.

Because of these factors, skill at cards has relatively little to do with winning—as last night's winner demonstrated. Getting a skilled partner for the those hands offering high-scores (+100 points, +300, +500, etc.) seems far more important.

Once again, it was an evening of good food and great fellowship at Rockport 35 RV Park!
