Party Mode

The Taft Moose Lodge had a BBQ on Memorial Day for all members and their families. Carole's two sisters, Dee Ann and Mary Jane, came over from Bakersfield along with David, Dee Ann's husband, to spend the day with us at the Taft Moose Lodge BBQ.

Pictured below is Mike Floyd, Governor of the Taft Lodge, cooking tri-tip beef and chicken. I watched Mike closely and I'm satisfied he's done this before . . . the beef and chicken were both very good.


We filled our plates in the lodge along with chili beans, salads and desserts. We then had our choice of eating inside our outside in the picnic area. Since it was about 95 degrees outside, we elected to eat inside, but retired to the outside picnic area for more drinks and to listen to the music provided by a DJ.

We were in "Party Mode", so I wore my party shirt, my hat-with-hair and my patriotic necktie. Carole wore her big-brimmed straw hat. Aren't we cute?


We had an enjoyable time partying with the Taft Moose families. They are all so nice and a lot of fun. Carole even got into singing karaoke with one of the members, although she admitted afterward she couldn't see the words on the TV screen. But she sounded pretty good.


This was to be our last night in Taft, so we said our goodbyes to David, Dee Ann, Mary Jane and all of the members of the Taft Moose Lodge. Tomorrow we will pull up stakes and head for Washington.
