Saturday evening

Enjoying the evening

sharing table (like we haven't had enough food!!)

Karen made a delicious parmesan chicken.  I made an edamame succotash and a maple roasted brussel sprouts.  We had more of Sally's cabbage salad and bread and Kathie;s dessert.  It was a wonderful combination of cheesecake and pecan pie. 

We looked at some of Sharon's Paris pictures and some of Karen't New York pictures.  That was fun.

Kathie has to leave early in the morning so we got our group picture taken tonight.   

Sue, Sharon, Kris, Sally, Olivia, Barbara, Betsy, Karen and Kathie. 

A very enjoyable weekend!!!

Dinner was fabulous.  Sharon made a sausage spinach soup.  Sally made a cabbage apple salad and brought bread.  Yummy.

No it is not a full moon but it was pretty anyway.  

Betsy finally arrived around 9:30 pm.  So now we are all here.  

Beach weekend #2

Three of us met at the church at 10:30 am and went to pick up Sue in King City.  The other car started from Kris's.  We met at the Starbucks in Sherwood.  This is our usual stop when heading out to the beach.  The day had started out rainy but by the time we got to the Lange Vineyards it was clearing up.  Wine tasting there.  A few of us bought some wine.

There were 7 of us. Olivia, Sally Sue, Kathy and Kris in this photo.

What a gorgeous place.

Then we stopped at the Briar Rose Creamery to taste some delicious goad cheese.  Ended with a fabulous chocolate cheese truffle.  Wow.  Tasted like a little chocolate cheese cake.

The sign was confusing.  It said it was closed but we thought we would check it out.  It was open.

Then on to Erath, a favorite stop

Sally and Sue

Another gorgeous location and more people bought wine.

Then it was on to lunch at Barrel E18hteen.

Half a sandwich was just perfect.  

We went to the Lawrence Galley.  I lied last week. The Pieta is only $250,000!!.

Then we headed of to the beach.  No more stops.
