Mexican Potluck

The luncheon potluck, put on by Robin and Julie, turned out without a hitch. We could'nt have asked for better weather or company. The food was plentiful and delicious. There was chicken enchiladas, taquitos, corn salad, salsas, chicken pa sole, tacos, Spanish rice, nachos and so much more. We had a raspberry lemonaid, ice tea, and wine  for drinks and a homemade shortcake with strawberries, blackberries and homemade whipped cream on top.

We all talked about what we would like to do in the near future as a group and for our community. A bake sale was discussed to benefit a community garden for the children of Klamath Falls. We will also be planning a Harvest Fair sometime in late September or early October.

Margie brought along her tatting materials and showed some of the gals how to tat. This looks simple but complicated all at the same time. It is an old craft that has been around many years and one that is well worth learning. She also showed her talent with a picnic set she sewed out of used levi and materials. Brilliant and beautiful.  It even comes in its own carryall that she made from used levi.

We did our Secret Sister exchanges, revealed who they were and chose new ones for the next few months. This is just a little something we can do to get to know each other a little more, sometimes we might just send a card to let them know they are being thought of. Or we may send a small gift we know they would enjoy.

As our group continues to grow and we hear the ideas and crafts that each farmgirl shares with us, we all get very excited about the many things we can do together and for our community.  I must say we have become friends who are now farmgirl 'sisters'.
