Making simple greeting cards
I finished making two placemats!
While Glen ran some errands in town this morning I wandered over to the “clubhouse” and was able to learn how to make greeting cards from cocktail napkins. We all enjoyed learning something new. Then a few of us worked on our unfinished quilting projects.
Line-up for the BBQ
At 1pm the Northwood Manufacturing hosted a first class barbeque. The food, which there was way too much of, was excellent. It included garlic chicken, barbecued beef brisket, potato and macaroni salad, and baked beans.
Lining up for desserts
After the BBQ we returned to our site and I baked my Hot Fudge Chocolate Cake for the Dessert Bake-Off Competition to be held at 6pm. The winning dessert was a rhubarb pie which turned out to be very popular. We certainly did not go hungry this week and it will take many walks to burn off all that we consumed.
Tomorrow we are heading for the Moses Lake, Washington area for a visit with our daughter, son-in-law, and four very special grandchildren!

I love reading about what you are up to. Oh my gosh it sounds like so much fun. Your pictures make everything look so nice. Very cute fabric on your place mats. I'll miss seeing you tomorrow but I know you will have a great time with your grandkids.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this hot fudge chocolate cake that you speak of? Your pregnant daughter could use some right now.
