ANNUAL XANGA LUNCHEON
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.
Well, we ate on the patio–in the shade.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, can you see the green glow from this area!?! That is me green with envy! I’m so glad you had a good day weather wise. Ken is looking way too pleased with himself!
I just KNOW what a good time you had. I’ve had SUCH a good time when I met and visited with Xanga folks too. I’m wanting to do it again, but have to get these health issues out of the way first.
It looks like a wonderful day!
I was just going to say, it has been far, FAR too long since you said howdy to your poor Xanga friends! : )
Seriously, Nancy, we could use your presence here…people are defecting right and left. Sometimes it is downright LONELY!
Looks like another great visit. Even the leftovers look tasty, and the company looks like they all had a good time. What fun!
Looks like ya’ll had a wonderful time. And I agree-Ken looks like he’s having a great time !
From the looks of that van… I am thinkin Val might be a hoarder? LOL… just kidding! I’m glad you all had a good time!
That is terrific!
How about sending that corn relish my way?
Superb photos that express well the ambiance of this joyful gathering .
It is really a good tradition.

I can’t believe I haven’t commented on this. What a great group. Val has wonderful things to say about you and Ken.
I know how much you opening your home means…A gracious hostess and host.

I agree with SuziQ…FB is too shallow.
Lucky Ken, surrounded by all the pretty gals. I remember when you started this group and glad to see it still going on. Cheers.
RYC :I was glad to read your row of comments , Nancy . Your comments always are rich and well written . I had a laugh at reading you about Ken and his ladder . So Ken is a brother in ladderhood !!
Janine holds the basis of the ladder too, like you .
