Nancy's Lemon Pies

Tamales in Crockpot

Killdeer that was in the yard today.

We had more rain in the night. Today the small group of artists who get together and paint on Tuesdays met at the Arrowhead House. Betty, Nancy and I are hosting the meeting and luncheon. Seems like although the plan had been set a couple of days ago, that Nancy and Betty had to run back to the store again for something, lettuce of all things. Lunch was tamales, taco salad and Nancy made the lemon meringue pies from scratch for dessert last night. We had a great time getting together as always. Today there were eight of us. Not a lot different about this meeting than other Tuesday meetings to write about. I was glad to get a little further on my pastel of Bob with team and wagon.

We had a discussion about going to Round Hill in the middle of July. It has been moved from June 26-30, to July 17 to 21. Looking forward to that. We also are trying to get a final plan for our Holiday art show so had a discussion on that too. Can't remember much more about this day to write about now. Seems I didn't get any very good photos from today. Loose some and win some.

After the meeting Melita invited Betty, Nancy and me over for tea at her house and to show them her artwork especially her encaustics, and to see her home. That was very gracious of her, and she even had some meringue cookies that Betty could enjoy.

Lois brought me some more plants for the yard and a beautiful bouquet of poppies and johnny jump ups which all of us appreciated and admired at the meeting. This might be the night we were so full from lunch, that we just had leftover chicken sandwiches - again. And another night I needed a nap before getting up to go to bed.
