Once again unto the Vroom, dear friends. Some highlights:
- Newbies Fran and The Johnbon (half newbie, at least) seemed to like us. We felt very much the same. They’re in!
- We were shocked/shocked to discover Weekender Tommye, aka Emily Pennyfeather, capable of murder.
- GoH winner MJ taught us of Grecian urns, while we came to understand so much more about each others talents.
- Cantaloupe sorbet.
- We hosted our first virtual Weekenders, Beth, Ike, Chris and Cora. (Next year, we shall drag them from California if necessary.)
- Lincoln rabbit eared us. (And appropriately, we learned: (1) The Republican Party of Illinois was born in Bloomington and (2) Civil War embalming techniques. It was a pretty good 160 year run while it lasted, what with The Great Emancipator, promoting liberty, Reagan, blah blah … We have come not to praise the GOP but to bury it.)
- Most critically, we realized: Why in the snot should we drag everything to the Ewing grounds when we can dine on our own mansion veranda?
Scroll down to enjoy the Top Tens and more from a grand Weekend — and from years past — and check out the photographic evidence of our fun.
Till 17, I remain … YOS
