A Social Week

It has been a busy week full of social
activities which I always enjoy. We
had lunch at the Boulderado on Tuesday
with our friends, Gerard and Alice Ochs.
On Wednesday night Shirley and Earl
Mosburg came here for dinner. What a
pleasant evening that was. On Friday,
I had lunch at Zolo's with Suzanne
VanScotter. We had lots to talk about
since we hadn't gotten together in
quite some time. Friday evening
Jo and Alf came for dinner and we had
another very pleasant evening.

In between the social activities we
had each had a skin check at the
dermatologist and I have another
basal cell carcinoma. The second
in six months. I'll have it
scraped off on Monday.

And that about covers the week
from here.

Winter wonderland...

Robyn sent a few pictures from Antarctica.
I am sharing my favorite.

We have discovered that Weather Undergrund
posts the weather at McMurdo Station so
we can keep track of Robyn's weather as
well as other favorite places around the
world.

Book Club was scheduled for Wednesday, but
it was a cold, cold evening so only
Allison ventured out. We had a cozy
chat and only briefly discussed the book.

Bitter cold at the beginning of the week,
but today it was above 40 for a while. We
had a brief snow flurry which was unexpected,
but didn't last long.

Corned Beef and cabbage was the meal of
the cold so I spent a day cooking same.
We have enough for a small army so the
freezer will have many dinners of
Corned Beef stashed away.
