One of the things I love most about my neighbors at Diamond Beach – we’re all big kids at heart.  Many braved the foreboding skies and dire weather forecasts to toss those rubber ducks in the river and see which one, through sheer determination, can reach the bridge first.  Our illustrious HOA Pres James Fuglaar tossed them in and let ’em rip!  As always, I picked the losingest number. Not surprising since I never win anything.  My friend (and fellow resident widow) Laurel won the grand prize; dinner for two at Olympia Grill.  I offered to accompany her if she couldn’t find a “date”.  Haven’t heard back on that one:) We moved on to a “limbo” contest.  Our one man band bravely attempted a rendition of Chubby Checker’s Limbo Rock while the kids tried valiantly to make it under the lowest pole.  Lots of arguing over the “limbo” rules brought a final winner, who was underwhelmed by his “dreamcatcher” prize.  He probably would have argued less had he known about the “grand” prize.  The food was too good, as everyone brought their “covered dish” specialty.  To me a successful party is one where no one really wants to leave.  Gauging by the number of neighbors who stayed around after the music died, this one was a rousing success.
