Rockpile – 1-20-2016

The Saturday Nite Mixed League finished their first half this weekend with the B.O.O.B. team taking first half honors. The team consists of Bernie and Peg Obermueller and Dave and Wendy Brandt. Congrats, guys!!!

“4 of a  Kind” were the winners of the first half on the Sunday Nite League. Members of this team are Peg Heutmaker, Rick Bonte, Linda Schouten, and Eric Klatt. Great job!!

Well, the Packers gave us one more shot to go in the playoffs but came a little short. The fact that Rogers threw another “Hail Mary” pass was phenomenal!! On to next year!!

I’m picking Arizona and New England to be in Super Bowl 50!!!

SURPRISE!

Rest and Quiet
Doctor: “Madam, your husband needs rest and quiet so here are some sleeping pills.”
Wife: “Doc, when should I give them to him?”
Doctor: “Never, they are for you!”
