		2012 Labor Day Tall Timbers ... and, we're off to Tall Timbers Marina and another glorious Labor Day weekend with Rick and Carol ! The group finally making the trip included Phil and Cary, Harry and Lori (on Apolonia), Gary and Nancy, Marty and Lamar Rodriquez (friends of Gary and Nancy from Landmark Yacht Club), Mike and Vicky, Chris and MJ, Chris and Terrel Puttock (friends of the Smiths), Dick and Anita, Nina and Jennifer, and old friends Norm and Lucinda Johnson. Bill and Donna came over from Coles Point on Friday night to spend awhile. We partied Friday night, relaxed and enjoyed Saturday, then had a Sunday brunch, a barbeque picnic and finally a boat burning on the beach with fireworks. The fireworks were better than those in Colonial Beach on July 4th. Monday we had to make our way home. The thunderstorms stayed away from us. We had a wonderful time.
		Friday afternoon we started the event. Harry and Lori walked the dock at Tall Timbers welcoming those that came in Friday afternoon. Rick, Tall Timbers owner and "dock master," was on the pier with his slip list getting us all ready for the weekend.
		Gary and Nancy relaxing after arrival. And the next morning we woke to Norm Johnson crabbing on the pier with his net and dressed in his pajama bottoms. He knows how to enjoy a Saturday morning.
		Vicky and Mike put up their sun awning (designed/made by Vicky )and relaxed on the back deck of their boat during the sunny part of Saturday, but later joined the crowd at our usual stations on the dock.
		Saturday we welcomed the last three boats arriving from WYA. Aboard were Chris and MJ Smith with their friends Chris and Terrel; Dick and Anita; and Nina and Jennifer. The guys escaped the sun on Norm and Lucinda's boat, Liberal Leave, and continued to do absolutely nothing productive while the ladies joined Carey on Apolonia. to conduct a research sampling of vineyard products, interspersed with random taste tests of shaken-but-not-stirred martinis.

		We dodged Saturday afternoon appetizers in the sizzling heat and opted for a smorgasbord of tasty dishes under the stars. Somebody has to do it. Later, Mike, Gary and Carey antagonized us all with a wandering medley to old, old, old rock and roll songs. Who but them would opt to sing "Wolverton Mountain" followed by "Soldier Boy?" They won't be getting bookings anytime soon.
		We awoke to a hazy Sunday morning and worried a bit about the weather but it proved to be a dry, if humid, day. We thanked Gary Vineyard for putting all his canvas up to protect his boat from the rain ... and insuring that it did not rain! The bad weather circled us all day, just teasing with an occasional raindrop or rumble of thunder. In the meantime, we wandered over to the restaurant to enjoy their Southern Maryland breakfast buffet, along with the World's Best Bloody Marys.
		Harry and Lori pondering the meat selections. You can bet they didn't partake of the scrapple. Later in the day - after a change of clothes - somewhat - we returned for another buffet....Tall Timber's BBQ picnic, featuring the most delectable artery-clogging dishes the South has to offer.
		Appropriately stuffed, we adjourned to the porch and boogied to the 25th Hour Band as the grounds began to fill up with local party-goers - of all ages.
		The Elmores, Carey, and Harry and Lori danced away while Gary, Norm, Nancy, and Lucinda lounged aboard Liberal Leave.
		Then we were all off to the beach for the boat burning and fireworks. Rick really knows how to throw a party! On Monday we decided we had to move on, some to work and others to their hobbies. Tall Timbers - twice a year - Memorial and Labor Day weekends. It's a requirement for those commissioned to "Party Like You Mean It!"
