City of Winnipeg, Retirees Annual Dinner

There are a lot of ex-City of Winnipeg employees that come down to the Rio Grande Valley for the winter.  They have an annual Pot Luck Dinner which we were invited to attend.  The membership consists of retirees from Parks & Rec, Administration, Fire Department, Police Department, Operations etc.   As you can see by the turn out in these pictures it was well attended. 

                                                                             

It was the usual Pot Luck Dinner with lots of food, and they even allow, the old BYOB, to go on at these functions down here, which is kinda nice.  A lot of eating and drinking and of course joking around about different departments.  A good time was had by all, but of course one of the main topics of conversation was the Manitoba type weather that we were having last evening. 

As I stated in my last Blog, with freezing temperatures and a constant drizzle we have been getting a coat of ice on everything.  So when the evening ended I could not resist taking this picture from inside the truck as poor Dan had to be out there, scraping ice from the windshield.  That's what we drove all this way to avoid. 

But as I sit here this morning I see blue skies and high white fluffy clouds off in the west and I hear big sheets of ice sliding off of the trailer, this will all be history by tomorrow.
