I hosted the social but really all I did
was supply a place and some bits and bobs – the group kicked in and did the
work. Lots of yummy food, good company, lots of chat, and, the piece de
resistance, highlights from the Maui trip, led by Mary performing an elegant
hula in exotic costume (apparently you too can have one if you are prepared to
part with $9US). I have a picture but Mary is paying me to keep it to myself.
My retirement is assured!
In addition to having fun, we did cover off
the business of the meeting, signing up members for the year, discussing
various race options, crediting our sponsor (thank you Harbord House) and
considering training options with Lee Scott.
A big thanks to Phyllis for keeping us on
track and to everyone who brought food and helped clean-up. After the dust had cleared, I did wind up
with a brown patterned carrying bag and a nice little ceramic bowl that aren’t
mine – let me know if they are yours.
A last observation - when my husband was
taking himself off to a movie in anticipation of the Walkers invasion, he
laughingly said ‘Can you imagine me having 22 guys over for tea and
goodies?’ Of course the thought just
makes me giggle. Even with all the inequities, isn’t it great to be a woman?
