First Friday July 2013

First Friday July we met at the Meadows, the restaurant at Meadowview Marriott.   I apologize because I thought I had sent out a reminder, but checking
further, I realize that I must have started the email, but it was never sent!

We had a good turnout anyway:  Nancy Ellis Baldree, Vivian Eversole Brown, Marlene Snyder McConnell, Judy Neff Stapleton, Carolyn Rice Cameron, Carolyn (Bunny) Devault Tichenor,
Sharon Deatherage Fults, Sondra Dotson Bridwell, me and our special guest from Nashville area, Georgia Duncan Koogler who was in town with her sister Wanda, for Wanda's class of 1958 reunion.

I also had several guests from Fredericksburg VA, my daughter Chris, her husband John, her children Adam, Hannah, Jacob and Grace, and Adam's girl friend Sarah.
We really enjoyed the lunch buffet, and oh my goodness, I rediscovered their bread pudding!  Oh My!!  The buffet is $12.99 but that includes the drink.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the
luncheon bar.  You can choose to order from the menu as well.

Because I didn't get the word out for July's lunch, I want to start early and remind you of First Friday August lunch, which will be Friday, August 2nd. 
Sondra received a call from the manager at O'Charley's wondering why we were not there Friday.  Sondra explained that we had been told that the room where we were meeting
each month was being totally renovated, and that there would be high top tables there after the renovation.  NEWS BULLETIN:  The room is exactly the same with some new
wallpaper...  SO WE ARE THINKING THAT WE WILL MEET AT O'CHARLEY'S ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 2ND FOR OUR FIRST FRIDAY LUNCH.

We may decide to go back to Meadowview for First Friday September, but we'll talk about it.   It is a bit farther to walk to get to the restaurant, even though there is now a parking
garage on the back side of the resort, and an elevator which takes you up to the restaurant. 

I will send another email concerning this as we get closer to the time.

God bless us everyone!
