It was the first time attending for this group from Pulaski, who heard about the party from someone who works at the Pine.  Everyone in the group agreed that they were having a great time.

    Looks like a blast, CR! You Floydians (Floydites? Floyders? Floyds?) sure know how to whoop it up. I keep telling My Beloved Sandra that I’ve already picked out our retirement residence, but I’m not sure I can dissuade her from the Tropics.

    Your town is ALWAYS having a party or festival of some kind. Does anyone work for a living? 😉
