We visited Dockside (surprise!!) and noticed that the inhabitants of One Palm Tree Court (a section designated on the dock for gatherings, not unlike our Table of Wisdom) had installed a commemorative plaque.
It was lovely, and we immediately decided we deserved at least equal (if not WAY better) space. Monday was Old Lady Day at Beall's Outlet, so we decided to look for a suitable symbol of our gathering place. We spent quite a bit of time there, shopping frantically for our 15% discount items, and completely forgot to look for our symbol. Thankfully, we remembered during lunch and stopped back by to shop. The gods of discounts were on our side, because we found The Perfect Item. It was big enough to write all our boat names on, it was tacky enough to truly symbolize our personalities and times at the Table of Wisdom, and it was discounted 95%. Then we got an additional 15% off the discounted price. You heard it here first, folks.....59 cents. We reluctantly let Candy foot the entire bill, since the rest of us won't let go of laundry quarters. We hurried back to begin the arts and crafts session (Katie and Therese had enough supplies to start their own Vacation Bible School) that would make our plaque complete.

Summer Wind and September Song had already headed for the Bahamas, so we added their names out of kindness. Of course we expect them to send Candy wads of money to repay her for the plaque. We also added Captain Wade, since he'd spent so much time working on our deck and hanging out afterwards that he was a member of the team.

Too cool...you good folks rock. Hope to meet you again next year (or sometime) at the Table of Wisdom. We didn't get to use it nearly enough this year with you.
