Our Club has a bit of a tradition, we eat before we meet. It is not my favorite thing, as I am not a fan of brunch, but I do like picnics.

Summer is ending and I am just now getting to work on some nagging old clubhouse projects. A one hundred year old building always needs work and work is therapy for my soul [Repeat this mantra].
Full Story |Ann Cook is a published author, a fellow clubwoman and the model for Gerber products. I got to know Ann one afternoon last week when she graciously accepted my request for a chat.

Wow, Wow, Wow is all I can say after returning from GFWC Annual Convention in Cleveland OH. This was my third time attending and I must say that this was my favorite by far!
Full Story |I can’t believe that I only have 8 week days left until I return to school and 13 until this year’s crop of students show up! Summer has definitely flown by for me. I have always loved this time, though, right before school when the stores are putting out loads of school supplies and fall [...]
Full Story |First of all, I have been a terrible blogger! It seems that with work, my service and social activities, getting adjusted to a new place and recovering from that broken finger earlier in the year, I just seem to not get things written and posted like I should. Not a good excuse, I [...]
Full Story |I want to issue an apology for having let so much time lapse since my last blog. My life as I know it has been turned inside out as I have walked away from a business relationship and started up a new enterprise. I figure this is what this blog place is all about: us women as we go through the great challenges of life, and mine is definitely been a challenge over the last three months. I don’t know if I have said anything about this before, but in addition to being mother of three and a GFWC member I also own and operate my own small town newspaper. I write a weekly column as part of the paper and I would like to share with you my first editorial in my newest endeavor. I hope you enjoy it.

Never before have I spent four days with 600 women and had so much fun! (I don’t think I’ve ever spent that much time with that many women — in my life!) AND, never before have I met so many extraordinary women who give so much of themselves to their communities, the country and the world.
Full Story |I have a handicapping genetic condition that requires constant maintenance and tuning of my reluctant body or I don’t get to play. I am accustomed to rapidly adapting to my circumstances, but I do not like to learn new routines as they confuse me. But that’s my life.
