Having to Catch Up Again!

    Horrified to see I haven't posted once in September! I had to get out my calendar to see what (if anything) was worth reporting and there are a few special events. I'll split them over two posts.

   I have joined a Wine tasting group and we had our first meeting a couple of weeks ago. It was a fun afternoon at one member's house and we tasted 4 wines - theme was all Ontario wines -  and rated them. I liked them all and would probably try them again. We had some nibblies between glasses and after rating them we finished the bottles! The next meeting will be at my house in November.

   The next week was the Retired Teachers' lunch on Tuesday, Book Club on Thursday and then a theatre performance on Friday, all fun and entertaining. The book we discussed was "Go As A River" by Shelley Read and the play was "Baskervilles" put on by a local amateur theatre company that my daughter belongs to, a rather comedic and slapstick version of the Sherlock Holmes detective adventure. They had us in stitches as it was well done and quite hilarious!

   This past week has been extremely busy, really too much so for my liking! Wednesday was the New Retirees Breakfast where we host our new members and share examples of all our activities. My duty was to talk about the monthly coffee social, the Knitters and Crafters group which also meets monthly, and the weekly Bridge club. The breakfast was lovely, lots of nice pastries. That was also the day the pool guys came to close my pool but I was back in time for that. I had my last swim on the previous weekend so it has been a good long season.

   That's enough for now, I'll be back before the end of the month with the rest of my goings-on!
