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'.
We have so much fun together farmgirls Laughing and sharing love of the Mary Jane Sisterhood.

May Day is a fun celebration which, when we were younger meant dancing around the May pole with pretty ribbons. Today it isn't celebrated much except to some of those who wish to put a smile on others faces by leaving a bouquet of flowers just for them.
Not long ago our chapter of 3 members was struggling to maintain a membership because sadly two of our members chose to leave our chapter. I say not long ago because it was last week that we were joined by two other very interested gals who saw our charming chicks calling card posted and called to inquire as to what we did. April Johnson and Marygail Baker joined us as our two newest members making us a chapter of 5.
Today the chicks met to make candy kabobs to sell at a local bazarr December 5 & 6th.
Today we met to re-group. Our chapter has defined a few things we want to accomplish as friends and farmgirls. Some goals for our chapter as well as good "sister fun".
couldn't meet with us today. It was a great day for these 5 Charming Chick members.. Gail our photographer was somehow not photographed , but we will get her next time !
