Well, it was that time of year again.

Time for our annual Xanga luncheon!!

The gals arrived about an hour late, but that was OK.

We had a great, but waaaay too short, visit.

I had been concerned about the weather---whether it was going to be warm enough to sit outside.

But, shortly after we all started moving our chairs into the sun, and grabbed jackets or sweaters.  The high was only about 68.  Chilly in the shade, but quite warm in the sun.

Relaxing after the meal:  Sue, Dawn, Val and myself.

 

Opposite us sat the Master of the Harem:

Later on, the "harem" gathered around Ken:  Dawn, Val, Sue

 

There is also a short video of this under my videos.  Can't figure how to get it on this page!  Grrr.  Hate all these changes!!

Val showed me all the "stuff" in the van.

Val even found some more plants:

They do a lot of scrapbooking on their vacation together.

They came here after their week together at Sue's cabin up north.  They usually came on their way up there.

After they left here, they stopped at a scrapbooking shop nearby.

Leftovers:

Amish goodies they brought as a gift for us:

 

Thanks so much girls!

Another wonderful, although too short, visit.

Same time, same place, next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
