Martha Glantz (Farmer)
A heavy gray sky was enfolding the mountains on my way to lunch...early, I might add. I wondered if our group would thin out due to the weather. Inside, not a soul was in the waiting area. Not even a cashier. So, onward. As I rounded the corner, I couldn't believe my eyes! 6 early birds were having appetizers!! Pam Richardson Williams and Ron, Sandy Stewart Smallwood (the very first to arrive I hear), Betty Myers Schaefer, Susan Myers Puckett, and Steve Brooks are the official greeters from now on! We had three new guests: Rick Gutzman (who loves to fish and golf), Lela Criswell (John's sister) here for an extended stay, and Toddy Tackett, a mutual friend of Sandy Bryant and Robyn. Toddy is not really a first-timer--and she brought a batch of Robyn's chili fudge, perfectly true to Robyn's recipe!! All told, there were 25, not bad for a gray day in NM. We missed those who were elsewhere--dealing with germs, plumbers, dentists, doctors, and business. As Betty said, we need to pray for you all. And we are. Steve and Sandy are already thinking of a place for March celebrants. Betty got the best birthday sundae ever, which other February folk missed out on due to secrecy! Be aware of the party perks in the future! See you on March 9!
