Crossed Oaks Haven

The last few weeks have been very active for us including a few travel trips.  We were witness to an extra special event at Cypress Cove with Nude-a-palooza.  There was over $1800 earned for breast cancer support.  We were so busy having fun that Bare our Panda mascot spent a lot more time sitting beside the pool than we did.

This weekend on our way out to Sunnier Pines Bare caused a little bit of smile time.  We had stopped for lunchat a Whataburger and of course he was riding in the back seat.  There was a family in a van parked next to us and they thought someone was sitting in the car but they were not moving.  They looked closer and realized it was a stuffed bear.

Our trip to Sunnier Pines (http://www.sunnierpines.net/) really provided the warmth that the weather did not.  When we arrived at the gate and saw the welcoming sign that Luann had created for us my heart grew and I felt like our club had truly become a reality.  Folks will be able to see her lovely art creation when you meet us at other clubs.  We begged and she allowed us to have the sign to take as long as we promise to return again.  We do plan to return again and talk to Patti, Joe or Leslie about obtaining a brochure that just might get you a discount on your visit.

Some of the words used by Leslie to describe the weekend include picturesque, friendly, open, awesome.  They had created an awesome pot luck meal where we all communed in the cozy comfort of the club house.  He also said we were treated like a family.  Joe also rated the club as welcoming, the people outstanding and the sign was a heart warming surprise.  Our next visit will probably be during a warmer month and we can check out the hot tub that they had donated.

Look for us to join in the celebrations at Lake Como on November 10th.  I will be working on our calendar soon to make the decisions on our travel and local gatherings.  Join us in meeting all the wonderful folks out there.
