We did have a hard rain on last Monday evening followed by a big drop in temperature, so we had a solid sheet of ice around everywhere. But, our city did a good job of sanding and salting and now the streets are pretty good for driving, and the sidewalks downtown are not too bad. Some residential streets are still pretty icy and many of us still have pretty icy driveways.
So, of course, what do the Walkie Talkies do when the going gets tough? They get going. Since Mary has a display of her apron collection in the Bakery in town, we decided we should all go for lunch one day and view the display and give our new bakery a bit of business. The date was set for last Tuesday, Jan. 29th but since that was the day of much ice, we postponed it until Thursday, Jan. 31. Thirteen folks showed up for lunch, including Becky who is visiting Mom Pat. Mary who orgainized the event was unab le to attend because of an emergency at her house.
We enjoyed the apron display and many of the Walkies wore old aprons of their own to lunch. Most of us could look at the display and comment that we had an apron like one of them. We also enjoyed our lunch, with many of us having a wild rice with mushroom soup and various types of sandwiches. Also popular was the 7 layer salad.
After eating, Pat announced that she was buying our lunches. They had finally received a settlement from their accident and she felt there should be some kind of celebration. We were all very happy to hear that the settlement had been acheived and thanked Pat for her thoughtfulness.
Naturally, we took pictures. Lorraine took a picture and then Becky took a picture so Lorraine could be in it. Emily arrived after pictures were taken. Bill Ojala also came to take our picture.
