Judy's Luncheon Monday July 11th, 2016



This is Judy our cook for the month of July.
The food was so good, and everyone could attend but Pat,
We decided to take the root beer shakes to Pat.
Pat fell and broke a big bone in her upper leg, so she is out
of commission for a while. 
Thanks Judy for the fantastic lunch, everyone enjoyed it.
As you can see Judy has a green green thumb and has a ton of 
plants, and they are all beautiful. 
Next month is our free month so Nancy invited us all
to her cabin at Lake Almanor.  It is so nice there
and we do have a lot of fun. 









 This is Sandy helping  Judy with the BBQ that Judy won, how nice and the BBQ is a beauty. The proof was in the delicious pork sandwiches.  





                                              Judy's home grown tomatoes
                                              I love these kind of tomatoes.

This is Pat our baby who is recuperating from her surgery.
Hang tough Pat, like you always do.  Judy brought the dessert over to Pats home, root beer shakes, they were so good, or root beer floats, whatever it was called it was so good, I could have had 10 of them.  But had to say to myself NO, one is enough.
