January Classmate Dinner...

Front: Lisa, Cal, Bruce, Donna and Handsome Back: Julie, John, Mary, Deb and Brad

I'm so glad our dinner was planned for yesterday and not today. It's supposed to be wicked cold today, and lots of folks are canceling events. I'm sure we would have, too.

As it was, we had a nice-sized group for our gathering this month, and Handsome joined us! Everyone was so wonderful, asking him how he's been since he healed from the emergency surgeries two summers ago. They really are a great group of friends. We all checked on each other's health, and then got down to just having nice visits.

We took our monthly group photograph, set the date for next month, and were on our way back to our homes by about 4:30. Aren't we a bunch of "old fogies" now? lol (Early bird dinners, and all.)

I'll share photos of the finished feathers tomorrow, and a few photos of some really special feathers, too! See you later! Stay warm, friends.

    1. Hi Marilyn:
      Thank you. Handsome gave me that beautiful sweater and cashmere scarf for Christmas, and I was happy to have an occasion to wear them. It's unbelievably cold here...and windy. We're safely tucked in. Same to you and yours, dear.
      Hugs,
      xoxo

  2. Cold is heading here too so not happy that I have to go out shortly and clean the snow off the car (again). I've certainly had enough of winter to last me a lifetime. Glad Handsome accompanied you and enjoyed the group. Perhaps he'll become a regular member.

    1. Hi MA:
      I'm not real happy about this cold snap either! My Explorer is tucked into the pole barn/garage until after this front is well gone. I agree. I'm over this stuff! It was nice to have Handsome along. We'll have to see whether or not he wants to continue. He's always welcome, of course!
      Stay safe, dear.
      Hugs,
      xoxo

    1. Hi Sherry:
      They sure are! I'm really happy that Handsome came along. He fit right in, chatting with the guys and gals. He knew most of the names from hearing me talk about them, and he was able to put names to faces. It was pretty nice for me. I didn't have to work tonight (Friday), so that was bonus. I'm staying in until this front leaves! (except to refill bird feeders and critter food in the barn)
      Hugs,
      xoxo

  4. Old fogies and early bird dinners are the best. Added bonus you have the entire night to do
    what you want. Such a wonderful group of friends.

    1. Hi Shirley:
      I couldn't agree more! You're exactly right. We got back home, fed the dogs, watched/played Jeopardy, and lounged the rest of the evening. Right up my alley! Thanks, dear.
      Stay warm.
      Hugs,
      xoxo
