March 2013

March is always a busy month at Fun N Sun with the annual ladies’ luncheon and style show, and luau as well as end of the year pot luck suppers, happy hours, country dances and musical events.

Willie Nash McCall’s musical tribute to Ray Charles on March 2 was very enjoyable since the music was very different from the usual families singing bluegrass.  The Country Legends concert on March 14 was the second of Encore Corporation’s musical events for this season.  They were such a success that they are planning three more “tributes” for next season.  

The ladies’ luncheon was on March 6^th with a theme of “God Bless America”. The simple but elegant “picnic lunch” didn’t exactly get rave reviews. Fortunately the fashions from the local stores were lovely and quite affordable. It is too bad that it came so late in the season when Jane’s closet and drawers are already full.

Later that afternoon, Ron and Sue Holmes organized a pot luck meal at 3:00 pm in our Rec Hall for the local parish priest, Father Isaac. Father loves Ron’s motorcycle so a ride on it is always part of this event.

Amy flew down for March break and arrived at the McAllen airport around 11:15 pm on March 10. She had wonderful weather while she was here and got to experience where we live during the winter.

 

We had a great time at the luau on March 11.  Our decorated table – “Surf & Swine” won second prize in the most comical category.  It was definitely a group effort with Jenn even emailing us clip art for our sign. The band, the Cruisers, were excellent so we danced for most of the evening.
