Too much cold steel? Try this cure!


Now that winter has set in for most of us, one group of players in Southern Oregon has devised a clever way to keep those boules warm all afternoon!
This group calling themselves the "Rogue Booligans" (from the nearby Rogue River) meets in a barn for play and uses this welded up boules holder to keep their points hot and their shots smokin'.
Anyone else have an interesting way of making it feel like summer in the winter?

Farewell to a Friend



For all of You who knows Him, He touched our Lives one way or another. He is, Freddy Canesse.

Last Sunday Sarasota Petanque Club surprised Kate and Freddy Canesse with a great farewell party ( He is going back to his Hometown in France). We played petanque until dark and not even the cold weather spoiled the fun. Of course, as in all French gatherings, good food and good wine always come together with petanque.

With heavy hearts and teary eyes we wish you the best to the both of you in your new life on the other side of the ocean. May God keep you safe and bring you happiness and prosperity.
You will be Missed! My Friend.
