ACA Rally – Day 4…
Today, the last day of the rally, was a repeat of yesterday’s breakfast buffet, but this time with the addition of some very good cinnamon rolls that forced Jan and I to split one.
It twisted our arms, honest!
Outside the Energy Hall where everything happens, we’ve enjoyed seeing these beautiful cherry trees in bloom.
After breakfast we came back to the coach and we just gelled. The only real thing going on was a golf tournament, so it was time for a nap.
About 5:15 pm we headed back over to the Energy Hall for the final dinner of the rally, prime rib, no less.
And the prime rib meal was just as good as our other meals, and once again there was wine on our tables.
And here’s our table companions for the night, The Ernhardts, the Desimoes, the Emberts, and of course, my beautiful wife, Jan.
Note how happy everyone is, and how empty the wine bottles are. Of course there’s no connection there.
Like last night, we had entertainment after dinner. This time it was Jack Jensen and Ted Jordan. They did everything from 50-60’s rock to country and patriotic.
We even had a bit of ventriloquism with Ted and his simian friend, M. K. Shines. (Monkey Shines, get it. Well I guess it’s monkey humor)
Everyone really enjoyed the music, especially the last song, “God Bless The USA”
About 8:30 things wrapped up and, saying our goodbyes, we headed back to the rig for the night.
Tomorrow, most rally attendees will probably be heading out, but we’re hanging around for a couple of days before we start back toward Austin for our daughter Brandi’s wedding on June 21st.
A complete change of subject here. A few weeks ago we spent several pleasant days in Klamath, CA visiting the Redwood forests in the area. Klamath is not a very big place. It’s basically just one main street with a few stores, a gas station, and a Post Office.
So it was really strange to find this story about a bizarre crime that took place there recently. Now I’m glad we didn’t stay any longer.
More tomorrow…
