Beer & Dogs Party at Rob & Louise's!

Tags: Being Neighborly Food & Entertainment Fun Life Local News
Rob has asked me to share this invitation with you. On Saturday, July 10th, Louise and Rob Woodley will be holding an informal ‘beer and dogs’ do at their new home. They would like very much if you would come and join them and celebrate their moving out of the garage and into a real house.

The party will begin at 3pm and will go until whenever it ends.

  They will be supplying the beer and dogs. If you want to bring more beer, or stuff to go with dogs, then feel free – but it’s really not necessary just as long as you bring yourselves (and anyone else you think we know, but whose email address we don’t have!) Musicians – a chance for a jam might present itself. Stranger things have happened.

  We’re looking forward to seeing Rob, meeting Louise and seeing them in their new home in West Bay Marshes. See you there!

What a fabulous time we all had at the St. George's Channel Hall with entertainment provided by Rob Woodley, Pat Lamey, Heather Richards, Tim Laborie and Adam Cook and friends.

The music started at 7:30, with a full house and then some, and played until 10:00 with only a break for sandwiches, sweets and tea at 8:30. It was a blast and I am sure that everyone had a great time.

What a great bunch of people they are at St. George's Channel! They managed to raise approximately $1,137.00 for our new hall fund. Thank you all for your wonderful and much appreciated support. You rock! We couldn't ask for better neighbors.

Today: 1 hour NIA and 60 Crunches, no yoga.

Kit has lost a noticeable amount of weight with his fitness and diet change. He has run out of notches on his belt, he'll have to shop for a smaller one now. He doesn't do NIA, that's my thing, but he is following the 100 pushups program and doing regular yoga.

It's not all about exercise, diet is playing an even larger role, I believe. Getting rid of most of the meat and eating more vegetarian has not only reduced our gravitational pull but it has made us mentally clearer as well. I know I feel better when I follow a more vegetarain diet and Kit has said the same. There is a history of cardiovascular disease in the Davis family and too many diabetics in both families. Hopefully we'll stave off both those lifestyle tragedies. After all, what works to promote health for one health issue nearly always applies to other maladies. One positive change in lifestyle should help prevent or delay both diseases. Time will tell.
