TSSC GOES TO SEVEN SPRINGS PA FEB. 2003

TSSC’s Foray to Seven Springs PA ... BY Suzanne Boyd

29 TSSC members – joined by Barbara and Robert Gaul from Florida with oranges from their backyard
-- had a GREAT time in Seven Springs PA Feb. 20 -23. The trip was wonderfully organized by Denny and Cathy Sutton (who made scrumptious home-made cookies). Thank you! Special thanks also to Jim, Mike M. and Mark for being Luggage Valets. Mark created his usual Back Seat Lounge on the bus, giving people a chance to play cards. First-timers Paige, Pam, Wes, Chuck, Mike V., Mike M. Wendy and the rest of the group made the all-day bus ride fun and comfortable with their quick wit, games and plenty of snacks and stops. Debbie won all the games on the ride home, but nothing can top her Priscilla and Prisynthia contest. Mike “Chalk Man” Montgomery kept the Wheel of Fortune game going, but the rain kept washing the numbers off the bus tire. On the slopes, Friday was gorgeous and sunny with good powder. Light rain and fog in the afternoon continued through Saturday, but it didn’t keep folks off the slopes. Sunday, despite winds and ice, many of us were out there again, with Joe Scott getting in over 20 runs in 2 hours. Steve and Marilou are TSSC’s official snow board experts, with bruises to prove it (despite strategically placed padding). Special thanks also to Jim, Mark and Joe for serving as Mountain Guides, letting women follow them around in the fog (When they claim that women followed them around, it’s true!). Linda Scott can
ski any slope; as long as you tell her it’s a Blue, she’s off! “Evil Donna” Courtney behaved herself this year, so we’ve decided to let her go on more trips. Donna and Wendy have mastered “Sit Skiing” as a way of getting off slopes we hated. (Hint: take the skis off first.) Hey, whatever works!

 Seven Spring
YOU GO FIRST
GROUP PIC
Daytime skiing was rounded out with nighttime partying, hosted by Patti Davis and Bob and Marlene Balance. Jokes and new movie ideas were supplied by Patti, Wes and Steve. Kaye got even with The Baltimore Group (Steve’s buddies) for keeping her awake by removing their Do Not Disturb signs. The Tri-State Dance Troupe – too many to name individually -- made us proud again this year at the clubs and on the dance floor. Luan, Chuck and Michael introduced us to new dance steps: The Booty Call, The Dirty Dog, The Percolator, and Karate Dance. The women made us proud by boosting the local economy with SHOPPING. Marilou found a special on CD’s and thong underwear (which Troy offered to model). Luan found a great special: just $10 for a braided black leather whip (what she does with it we leave to your imagination.)
