Really Really Old Painting of

Up fairly early, but the alarm didn't go off - found it's inadvertently set for tonight - sadly that's due to my poor grasp of techno smarts. So started off about an hour later than I intended. Got all the last minute things done, and the soda bread in the oven about the time Charm arrived. It's her turn to host the Tuesday lunch, and since none of us can get in to her house at Boulder Lake, she loaded all her luncheon onto the snow machine sled and hauled it out to her car - 8 miles?, unloaded sled into car, unloaded from car into my house. She prepared us wonderful Hawaiian chicken, rice pilaf, green pea salad, and mini bing cherry cheesecakes.

Attending were Ruth, Wanda, Melita, Charm and I. Joe joined in on lunch in his recliner. Everyone did good work mainly on pieces in progress. I got the cow moose drawn into last week's pastel and still need to put the calf in. We had our usual nice time.

They reminded me that March is my month to host the large Mixed Media group, so real soon I need to get out the 25 invitations. Not sure whether to have it here or at Rendezvous Pointe. A chance for more procrastinating!! Remember I set up last month's meeting and that turned out to be the day we unexpectedly left for the trip to Vegas on the plane. Charm took over for me that day.

So..... everything got tidied up by 4:30 p.m. or so, and I heated up Joe some leftover veg. soup for his dinner. About 6:40 Bonnie and Amy were here to pick me up to go the a party at the church - The Birthday of Relief Society. They served a dinner, and there was quite a large group of women attending. They had some games and fun things to do. One was to get acquainted with someone you didn't know, and I really enjoyed meeting ..... (bonnie will remind me of her name!) It started with "A" and I've been through all the "A" names I can think of, no luck with the memory. Home before 9 and had a very nice time. ANGELA!! Bonnie says Angela.

It was a overcast day, with the sun trying to peek out every so often and some show showers. Still cold and breezy.
