New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter Red Hatters Enjoy Games Day

Saturday, July 23, 2016

Members of New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society in Alamogordo, New Mexico enjoyed playing games of "Farkle" and "Racko" on Saturday, July 23, 2016 in the home of their Queen Ladybird aka Carla Kerr.

It was decided that "Racko" would henceforth be known as the "Dorothy Smith" Game because she won every round. Everyone brought sack lunches and tea, coffee and a delicious (they said it was anyway) dessert of peach cobbler were provided by Queen Ladybird. Much enjoyable conversation ensued and everyone had a grand time. Members were provided bags to gather peaches from the tree to take home with them.

Finally got it figured out and "They're off"

Our Vice Queen Donna had company and came in late, but doesn't she look wonderful, especially wearing that hat she made!

The game playing continues with gusto

By this time, we had decided to name this game the "Dorothy Smith" Game

We had such a FUN time and will be doing this again. We try to have a games day at least every other month. We are hoping it stretches our brains by learning new games.

This is all I have to say for now.
