Meeting Over & Wonderful Dinner

As I said last night we started a wee bit earlier this morning -- a whole fifteen minutes!  And we finished an hour early.  Some of our Board Members had to leave by 2:15 in order to get a flight out today, so we shortened some breaks and finished up by 2 PM instead of 3 PM.  That gave me time to get back to Auntie Violet in time to have a badly needed hour's nap before we headed back into town!

We were back in Newton by 5 PM at the BreadBasket, meeting dear friends Clara and Walt and their son Roger and his wife Carmen.  What a treat to visit with these folks that we have known for so many years (Walt is now 91).  Their move from Washington to Kansas has been a big loss to us!  On Friday and Saturday nights, the BreadBasket has a German buffet with swiebach rolls and apple butter; cottage cheese varenyky (both with ham gravy and with syrup); sausage, sauerkraut and a bunch of other ethnic food. (And we did have both the coupons from the paper AND the Senior discount!)

We will see our friends again tomorrow morning at church -- such a pleasure to look forward to!
