This could also be called a Reunion for Grant Elementary School since 6 of the 11 of us at lunch today went to Grant School. We all started there when it only had 5 classrooms and a principal's office. The six are Ken, Grandma, Patti, Linda, Elaine and me.
Anyway two of the newest members of Gobo's Lunch Bunch - Ray and Judy are members here and the rest of us are their guests.
The current Clubhouse was completed in 2006 but the Club is celebrating its 100 year anniversary this year.

The club sits on the east bank of the Stockton Deep Water Channel, ocean going freighters use this to get to the Port of Stockton. Interestingly one of the Google Barges is docked on the west bank just opposite the club's parking lot.

No golf today as the semi-annual "punching of the greens" was just finished. For you non-golfers twice a year the 18 greens of a course are aerated with significant sized plugs of earth. So courses are closed for play for a few days twice a year.
Never the less grass continues to grow so you gotta mow that
There is a small watercraft at the far left of the photo.

Gobo is attending today because he wanted to get a closer look at the Google Barge.

We set up the lunch for 11:00am so we are the only group in the dining room.

Grandma gets here at last as she first had to finish her tennis match. So she is still in her tennis outfit.
Everyone is already eating - that is except for Patti who has ordered the Falafel in Pita.
Patti still does not have her sandwich.
My Clubhouse is the next to last order with fresh cooked potato chips.
That's one sandwich
Patti finally gets her Falafel in Pita but they forgot to bring her yogurt sauce.
Grandma also ordered the Falafel in Pita and got hers right away.
