My photo
No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Capturing the moments

Suzanne arrived a bit after we had begun our meal so we heaped her plate with goodies for her. When asked if she wanted it heated up, Suzanne refused, saying she is accustomed to having cold meals! (This photo is out of order but for some reason or another, it will not budge from its position!!! Way to go, Suzanne!!!)
At long last, the photos taken at the Julia Child-themed dinner last Thursday. Our menu consisted of Julia's 'Boeuf Bourguignon' as show in the recent movie, made by our French chef, Joanne. Christine, coming directly from work, treated us with French bread with cheese melted over it; Janet made potatoes au gratin; Jean made 'Julia's' cole slaw; Twila made sweet potato pie; Linda made deviled eggs; Lynn made the potato leek soup; and I made the sausage/apple pie. Brenda brought cold drinks and wine and Martie brought the dessert of chocolate eclairs and heart-shaped cookies with a jelly center. All the food was absolutely amazing, with little leftover, and Lynn's soup was the hands down favorite!

Here is Lynn walking through the cemetery at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church on Fleming Island Saturday afternoon. Man, it was cold out there! Too bad it had to be unpleasant for their vacation but at least it was warmer here than it was in Manitowoc!
