It all began with Ferdy and Newell NOT wanting us to SING for his birthday...

OK so Newell was ok with having a birthday pary (of sorts he thought) at the Legion but he really didn't want anyone to sing for him.  Well, that was like waving a red flag in front of a bunch of crazy women.  Linda had a flashback - let's do CHEERS for him.  So we spent several days coming UP with appropriate cheers and several days practicing.  The problem with the later is we only did it in Kathy's Part Van!  We had pompoms, batons, synchonized marching (to alert the photographer), beer and laughter.   

Ferdy the Frog started out the festivities with a full mug. Linda had great munchies and we bagan to party.

We LOVE the Legion for adding a pool table in the fall.  We have segregated play - boys and girls.  So we played, chanted, cheered and had a stupid good time.

Linda and Mark (another North Dakotan that actually relocated to TorC a few years ago.)

Maynard  visits with the crack team called MaurKat.  (That is opposed to the team of DePhil.  You figure it out!)

Roger C the pool hustler with Lonnie (Mary's hubby) in the background.

Lonnie and Bill watching somebody get beat.

Meanwhile Ferdy the Lush is working on his mug.  It appears to be going down quite nicely.

Maurene and Bill - are leaving the 30th!!! We're going to miss them and I'm SURE they are going to go to NE and have more snow!!

Newell with his presents.

Lonnie studies the expandable spare body parts that Newell received.

Notice that Ferdie is moving right along with emptying his glass.

 Ok Ferdy, Now that you've finished your mug you can go play with the boys..............

Sista Linda, Deb and Maurene are tired from all the marching and cheering and playing pool!!  Woot woot Let's go play cards now!!

Last one there's a rotten egg!

AND Newell will NEVER, EVER, EVER say, "Don't sing to me." again.
