Watermelon Social

Our Watermelon Social was supposed to be an afternoon of fun in the sun but we got poured on just minutes before it started.



But that's OK, we ate watermelon anyway!

We had fun playing 'Ring Toss'

We had checkers too!


The very best part was the seed spitting contest! Believe it or not, watermelon WITH seeds is very hard to come by. Sue, Gail & myself looked everywhere for watermelon with seeds but turned up empty handed. Luckily, Sue is very clever and thought of spitting cherry pits instead. Good idea, those cherries were yummy!

And Shirley Futch Plaza's ultimate seed-spitter is:

Mary Ellen Biddulph who spit her seed 260+ inches!

We had so much fun!!!!

Thank you Sue for being so creative and fun-loving! And a special thanks to Gail, who makes Shirley Futch Plaza such a wonderful place to live - and work!
