Ya Sure, Ya Betcha!
How better to celebrate the weekend than with my close friends Rod and Kay, a few others that I've met since being here in NorCal and lots more new friends that I met Saturday night for their annual Oktoberfest.
Rod and Kay are great! Our friends married us eight years ago and have been a role model for living and enjoying life. Susan and I have a blast every time we get together with them, and as Kay said, "Susie would've had a great time tonight." And with that said, I did too!
After my Saturday MTB ride with Jay, I put on my tallest, black socks, best T-shirt and shorts and headed into the Sierra's, to Kyburz. Rod and Kay had rented out a log cabin for their 4th Annual Oktoberfest Celebration. There was German musik, beer and bratwurst, Frauleins and lots of fun games.
Dinner was tasty. The German potato salad (cooked/warm), the brats and TWO different kinds of sauerkraut hit the spot and there was the strudel, of course! It was a might fine meal.
The bean-bag toss game was a big hit among the men. The German name for throwing a bean-bag at a target escapes me...
Inside were heated games of Pictionary and Texas Hold'em. I'm not much of a gambler, but I did let my artistic talent shine for my team.
It got late and looked like the festivities were just getting going when I had to get going myself. Sunday morning was to be an early run with a club in Folsom. That was a good reason to limit the alcohol and make sure to rehydrate, but it would've been great to stay a while longer. The guys hadn't even brought out the music instruments yet. But thanks to everyone there for making me feel at home and special thanks to Kay and Rod for inviting this guy to your party.
Cheers!
