Yeah......at about 2am this morning the thunder rolled and lightning flashed.......and the rain began!! And.....it lasted until this afternoon.....making a great deal of mud, large puddles of water, and soaking everything that wasn't covered. BUT........ahhhhh, all was not lost, as the awnings were unrolled and the Creekers from around the country gathered under the dripping awnings to have coffee, converse, and enjoy each other's company and laughter!! And so......the morning passed quickly.
Two Creeker friends from Kansas, Chuck and Sue, wanted to go into Memphis for some more BBQ, so off we went to have lunch at THE RENDEZVOUS!!!! Oh yeah.....those dry ribs are great......in MY opinion. I could probably eat some of them several times each week and not grow tired of the great flavors. Would to go have BBQ once more time before leaving on Monday.......perhaps????
This afternoon the rain was not as bad. But.....I did some trip research on the internet so I stayed dry with no problem......hahaha!!! THEN.......about 4:30 we began to head to the Clubhouse for our evening dinner: South Carolina Frogmore Stew!!!!!! The head chef was AG Caldwell of S. Carolina......and he had help from some of the other guys who were just hanging around. Ingredients: Polish sausage, small ears of corn, onions, potatoes, wonderful spices from the South, and at the last minute, tons of shrimp!!!! WOW.......what a feast!!!! Everyone had brought their favorite appetizer to share.....along with their favorite beverages......and before long it was like being with family. Of course, we are the Creeker Family of Cedar Creek Owners!!!
The dinner was great, was fun, and full of camaraderie(sp?). It seems that we all have known each other for years.......but it really hasn't been that long. LOTS OF LAUGHS!!!!!
Good friends of mine from STL arrived this afternoon.....Jim and Sherry. AHHHHH, but they, too, love their dark red medicine....and so we shared our prescriptions during dinner. Sometimes think that Jim and I could hit the road with a comedy routine........we just seem to work well together with our humorous thoughts!!!
This evening went by quickly.....and I am way behind on getting this posted. For those of you Creekers who are not with us..........WOW, you are missing an incredible weekend. Even better than last year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUCH, MUCH better!!!!!
Soooooo, as I hope to get some pictures posted, and it takes a long time with this slow internet hookup........
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! And....I hope it is for all of you, also!!
