Thai Three

Tina organized our Thai Three luncheon and we three met for lunch at Yindee Thai in Springfield. 

Marie, Pillar of the Washington SON lodge, and Tina, Award-winning Rosemaler

Christine, Reading Circle Facilitator

We started out with the crispy spring rolls. Then we all had Pad Thai with different toppings.: Tina - chicken, Marie - shrimp, and Christine - tofu. We all enjoyed our choices.

We had a lively conversation, not only limited to things Scandinavian!

Fun with the boys

Another Game Night

First dinner - pizza for the boys, different dishes for the adults provided by Barbar

Then we tried out the new game sent by Katie: Beat the Parents!

Florence tired but cheerful

Catching up

Gertraud and I had lunch at my favorite Afghan restaurant in Springfield. We talked for three hours before we left the restaurant. We should get together more often so we wouldn't have so much catching up to do!

Fascinating exhibit at my favorite museum

From A to Z

Janet came over to my house and helped me organize my collection of Italian books. We had fun doing something very useful. We also had lunch.
