Pat's Luncheon February 14th 2020

This is Pat our cook for the month of February.  She made the best ever luncheon.

We all ate until we hurt!!!  Thanks Pat for the very nice luncheon.

Everyone could attend and we had a great time. Pat had a lot of goodies on the

table, and we all enjoyed them very much.  Pat and Nancy brought us lemons and

oranges off their trees for us to take home.  Also Pat made lemon curd and forgot

to give to us as it was outside in her outside fridge and so being a SUPER WOMAN,

she drove to our houses and delivered it after the lunch was over.  I don't know if she

made it to each house but she made it to my house and made me a happy camper.

Thanks Pat for all your energy into putting this great luncheon on, we sure appreciate

you very much.
