The last weekend in January was the Monroe Mixed Bonspiel.  We won the first event with Richard and Deesa.  Rachel and Martin were our gracious hosts for the event - we stayed at their wonderful home. A snow storm on Sunday morning had us trapped in their countryside home, but one of the organizers got in their truck and picked us up so we could play in the finals. We were smart to accept the invitation to stay another night to avoid the blizzard. Wonderful dinner and games.
