Update to this morning’s post…..I don’t know quite how I did it but I wrote content and deleted it….best part is that I didn’t realize it until I checked back later in the day.

So here goes again. Our Saturday Knit Group likes to celebrate the season with a potluck and sixteen of us gathered to do just that. This group really likes to cook…..some of the great dishes included: two egg casseroles; roasted cauliflower; stewed fruit; a fruit bowl; scones (gluten-free and who would know the difference…they were delicious); baked oatmeal with syrup, brown sugar, cream, and/or butter (my traditional offering); salt & pepper chips with clam dip; cheeses and baguette; desserts galore – brownies w/mint and some whiskey; chocolate cake; chocolates, peanut brittle, tart and more; and drinks – eggnog with our without rum, juices and sparkling waters.

We missed Reiko who was traveling as well as those who have been absent from the knitting table for a while.

My photo skills were not so hot …. several photos that I thought I took were not on the camera. But I dived into the archive of photos and have a shot (taken sometime) of everyone who gathered to celebrate friendship and good cheer! We were delighted that Susanne popped in….she was a regular before she and her husband retired to Chico two or three years ago.

Cheers to all!

Yes…..it’s that time of year again where we celebrate our friendships within this holiday Christmas season. This is the second year that Karen K has hosted…..the setting is so lovely and so conducive to all mingling easily. Fourteen of us gathered and we are all so grateful to Karen for opening her home for this event. We laughed, we shared, we expressed our gratitude for years of friendship, we played the gift exchange game, we ate (catered from Picante), and we drank our favorite – margaritas…..Cameron and Sheri are the best bartenders.  We, of course, were treated by Merle to her infamous cheesecake. No gathering would be complete without Merle telling her traditional story of the Christmas tree in her childhood….we beg her to tell it again each year and each year it’s like we are hearing for the first time. We missed Bonnie, Mayra, Patricia and Sandy. I love FMKG (Friday Morning Knitting Group)!

 

By the way, my sewing machine has been “smoking”…..reversible aprons and Christmas tree napkins.
