February has come and gone….. wow, so fast
February 28th, 2009 -- Posted in | No Comments »a much needed recap for February.
February was a very hard month. Lots happened a year ago. Lots to remember and look back on but mostly I am amazed that life still goes on no matter how much is lost.
Feb 1st- 1st Treat Yogurt opened in Livermore, Ca- I am a dedicated fan of this place showing up at least once a week.
February 7th- In Henderson…. it rained so we couldn’t raise the flag on my Dad’s 1 year Memorial Service (Celebration for the End of Mourning). The church service was good and the Dinner was relaxing and my Mom put together a great gathering.
Feb 14th- It’s Valentine’s Day and my husband promised me that we would go out to Sushi to celebrate his new job. So, we splurged on dinner, celebrated his new job and each other (tee hee).
February 21st- Mah Jongg game at David’s house in Danville. New people, new strategies, lots of fun.
Feb 24th- 1st Meetup (www.meetup.com) for East Bay Boardgamers in Dublin. Lots of fun, new faces, I love being social and playing board games. Stacey’s at Waterford has a grand way to get people together. They advertise on Craigslist to see if anyone wants to host a Meetup. They have a banquet room set up mid-week to accommodate 65 people. Stacey’s already has an infocus machine, a huge projection screen, 2 huge Bose’ speakers and a Wii system with 2 controllers ready to go. People arrive and find -2 brand new board games set up on tables with cotton table clothes, silverware and the whole 9 yards on the table ready to go. A special sampler menu has been arranged for that nights meeting. I am looking forward to more East Bay Board Gamers meetups every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month. This beats trying to form a Pub Quiz in Livermore. This way someone else and a restaurant are the host. I just show up.
Feb 28th- Mah Jongg- another group called the Bay Area Mah Jongg Dojo- we played for 5.5 hours last night in Vallejo. It was a treat. When one place kicked us out after 3 hours, we chose to go to Round Table, get dinner and play for 2 more hours. I had so much fun.
Now it’s time for bed.
