I’m so sorry I didn’t get an article out last week. I was on vacation. I enjoyed my much needed R&R. I hope everyone had a good Easter. From the looks of things Karen Dibbern, Laura Rettelle, The Speaker (Connie Beckham), Patty Herring, Linda York, Mary Priquet, Ellie Behrmann, Paul Hume, Phyllis Smith, Nancy Lynch and Trina Currier handled my absence just fine. The Domino players are getting in more games; that is always a fun time as well. Madeline and Bill Telfer, Dick Blake, Laura Rettelle, Lorraine Knotwell, Phil Fleming, Bob Tho...
I hope everyone had a good Valentine weekend!

Who is ready for Spring? I am, even though we still have one to two months left of winter.

The dedicated dominoers Bob and Lois Thompson, Dick Blake, Lila Payton, Lorraine Knotwell and Phil Fleming managed to get four games in last week with Dick, Lila, and Bob being the winners. The...
So we begin a new month already! Sure wish time would slow down a bit. Patty Herring, Connie Beckham, Karen Dibbern, Laura Rettelle, Arleigh Simmons, Mary Priquet, Linda York, Nancy Lynch, Phyllis Smith would probably say the same thing at their morning gathering of the round table. The dedicated domino pushers Bob and Lois Thompson, Lorraine Knotwell, Dick Blake, Phil Fleming and Laura Rettelle did manage to get a few games in this week with everyone being gone here or there. Looks like Dick and Lois won the games. We have been down to one...
As we come to a close for January, which I feel should be a practice month for the new year, we will see what Punxsutawney Phil will have to say whether we have six more weeks of winter or not. However, we live in Wyoming not Pennsylvania! I wonder what our Speaker of the House (Connie Beckham) will have to say about that. I guess her delegates Laura Rettelle, Patty Herring, Karen Dibbern, Arleigh Simmons, Linda York, Monty Hobbs and Mary Priquet (whom I have forgotten to mention in the past two articles —I apologize), may just have a filibuste...
Since they have had a week or so to talk about it, Laura Rettelle, Connie Beckham, Patty Herring, Karen Dibbern, Arleigh Simmons, Linda York, Nancy Lynch and Phyllis Smith have decided they are not nominating a president.

Bill and Madeline Telfer, Dick Blake, Phil Fleming, Bob and Lois Thompson, Lila Payton, Dot Severns and Roy and Donna Wells filled the domino tables this past week with Phil, Bob and Dot being the winners.
