Shelley + Tessa came up for the weekend. Came up on Saturday, took very long to get here, many convoys of army

vehicles - not fun. Nothing too exciting. Tried to BBQ - no propane!! and watched TV + ate a yummy dinner. Played scavenger hunt after reading 4 pages of instructions only to find summary at end. Sunday went to breakfast, watched some golf, hung outside reading - worked on our tans - only got burnt! ouch! Shelley freaked out when she took off her show + a beetle walked out too. Went for a walk, played drinking monopoly. (rules in drawer). Started about 9:00 Shelley passed out at 10;30. Drinking Monopoly causes slight amnesia - Shelley wandered around cabin in middle of night and has no recollecction of anything. Passed out in bed woke up on couch. woke up and went home. Be back for 3rd Annual Amaretto Sour Bocci Ball Tourney.
