Almost at full strength

With Irene and the Belize group now back from their travels, we are almost at full strength. Mary had the Belize photos at coffee today and we could tell that they certainly enjoyed themselves!

Joan is the only one that is gone now. We've gotten several emails from her and it sounds as if she is having a great time. She's seen lots of wildlife--kangaroos, crocodiles, koalas, foxbats. She's also ridden on a camel! She's seen some beautiful sunrises and sunsets and the Great Barrier Reef. We can barely wait for her next emails and to see her photos.

One of our WT's, Lil, has now moved to an apartment in a nearby town. It is the same apartment building as Jo, so they should see each other. We will be planning a lunch outing in the next week or so. She promised to keep drink glasses so that we can enjoy a Margarita in her new place!

Laurie was the Maid to the High Priest at the ecumenical Lenten Service last night and did an outstanding job. With all that she has going on, it's amazing that she got it all done!

Ten of us WT's are taking a "field trip" to the Twin Cities to the Plymouth Playhouse to see the Church Basement Ladies. We're leaving on Wednesday, April 19th, having dinner at the Green Mill, seeing the play that night, and returning the next day. It should be a great trip because everything--the play, dinner, and the hotel--are all in the same place. Mary (see the link for Mary's Productions) has church lady aprons for all of us to wear, so we should really make a splash when we all walk in together!

Lots and lots of rain here today. It's not that good, however, since the ground is still frozen and there is no place for it to go. Everyone at coffee today was worried about sump pumps keeping up with all of it.
