Goodbye Peggy--We will miss you!!!
March 11, 2005

The day started with a bicycle scavenger hunt.  At each point, Beth placed a party bag with a clue to guide us to the next stop and goodies to decorate Peggy and her bike.

 

Start:  Dawson Terrace

Clue:  Your tribute ride has just begun.

We hope you grin and have some fun.

 

A familiar starting place is your first clue.

And remember, because you’re leaving we’re very “blue"

 

Decorations:  Bows  (plus scissors & tape)

 

Beth instructing the group (Marla, Vicki, Claudia, Beth, Colin, Joan)

Rule #1:  Peggy is NOT in charge (Peggy, Marla, Vicki)

Stop 1:  Bluemont Park

Clue: 

A weary Babe can always rest here.

Don’t worry, because it’s very near.

 

Decorations:  streamers

Claudia & Joan add streamers to Peggy's bike (Bluemont)

Stop 2:  Babes Bench

Clue:

Go to a Babe’s house who’s famous for muffins,

But it’s uphill from here so you might do some huffin’

 

Decorations:  candy-cane pipe cleaners

Claudia admires new pipe cleaner decorations

Stop 3:  Gaye's House

Clue:

When the Babes first began, long, long ago.

It was from this place we would go

 

Decorations:  colorful caribiners and miniature champagne bottle

Peggy is a good sport as Vicki adds more decorations

Caribiners work better on back of helmet

Stop 4:  Chesapeake Bagel Bakery

Clue:

To the house of a Babe who even though small,

When she “rides hills,” she’ll really haul.

 

Decorations:  fluffy tail

Vicki, Marla, Peggy, Joan, Sandy, Claudia (Bagel Bakery)

Stop 5:  Nancy's House

Clue:

Now that you’ve gone to the house of the smallest,

Go next to the house of the Babe who’s the tallest.

 

Decorations:  smiley face stickers

Nancy greets the babes

Claudia adds smiley face stickers

Stop 6:  Beth's House

Clue:

We used to start many of our rides at this spot,

You’ll find tea there and scones and of course coffee pots.

 

Decorations:  "W" squeaky dog toy, flags, Elephant sticker

Beth admires decorations

"W" squeaky toy gets place of honor

Stop 7:  Starbucks

Clue:

Don’t let this Babe tell you how to go to her home,

Or around and around Arlington you will roam.

 

Decorations:  ribbons

Claudia & Marla add the curling ribbons

Peggy posing outside Starbucks

Finish:  Party at Sandy's house

Cake!
