SWAA Picnic

We had a great time at the home of Leroy & Rina Royer. It was a bit cool, but had a warm campfire and great company. Some of us stayed later and got to see photos from Gail Bissett's cruise to the Antarctic.


Roxanne Perron took more photos.

SRVAS Banquet

I dragged my husband Doug up to Shekinah for the banquet on Tuesday evening  (those of you who know Doug know that it really is not hard to "drag" him anywhere).  

The food was awesome! Great company! Beautiful scenery! If I had paid more attention prior to this I would have caught on that I could take my paints up and spend the day (or days) doing my own thing and painting.  Would have cut down on the time commitment and the cost since I could stay as long as I had time & money to be there.  

I would like to say that I will do this "next year" - but the future of the school is yet to be decided due to a declining attendance.
