May was a month for champions.
The EPWC book group met at Carolyn Stieber’s home to discuss the June selection of H is for Hawk! Most of us found the book hard to read and challenging to follow the thread of the author’s ideas. The author did have very thoughtful insights and written passages that made the book worthwhile. She moves […]
There were 19 ladies on our tour of Wild LIfe Images outside of Grants Pass. The tour was very educational and the animals were kind enough to come out into the heat so that we could enjoy their company. Wild LIfe Images is a wonderful place for wild animals who cannot survive in the wild […]
Nine hikers enjoyed hiking 6-6.5 miles in the Illinois Valley May 20th. Thanks to Susan Watson scouting the area, we hiked the Jeffery Pine Loop which connected to the Little Falls Trail that descended to the Illinois River. Afterwards, we did the boardwalk interpretive trail which featured the Darlingtonia (pitcher plant) as well as mountain […]
We had 16 ladies at the May book club meeting and we had a great discussion about Anthony Doerrs book All The Light We Cannot See. This book takes place in occupied France during the second world war. It tells the story of two teenagers, one a blind girl and the other a German orphan […]
Four ladies and two dogs enjoyed a casual 3-1/2 mile stroll in the Ponderosa neighborhood of Eagle Point. We had fun looking at all the beautiful homes and gardens, and of course Ida knows everyone we passed! Sensational Sweets was closed, near where we parked, so we didn’t stop in for a post-walk coffee and […]
Ladies Dining Out had a lovely dinner at Misoya Bistro on Tuesday 5/10. Good food, lots of choices and plenty leftover to take home. It’s worth a return visit!
Thirteen ladies from the hiking group had a fun 2-day trip to Oregon Gardens and Silver Falls State Park on April 14-15. Our plan was to hike on Thursday; but due to inclement weather (cold, wind, and rain), we went to Oregon Gardens Resort after lunch. During a guided tram tour, we learned about various […]
Seven ladies and four dogs enjoyed a walk on the Interpretive Trail at TouVelle State Park today. The weather was gorgeous and just the right temperature, a bit muddy in places, but not too bad at all. The dogs had a blast, running and playing, and checking back with us if they got too far […]
Eleven creative women gathered at the home of Viki Brown on April 14, 2016 to share incredible food and recipes for “Brunch- A New Look”. It was a blustery spring day but the table was set in a aqua blue Florida Keys theme and the warm food and company made for an enjoyable gathering. Each […]
April was a hot month for Couples. Fun & great weather.
March party madness.
Fourteen members attended the Book Club meeting in April, held at the home of Barbara Young. We introduced ourselves to one new and two recent additions to the group, and then a lively discussion ensued. The book of choice was “West with the Night” by Beryl Markham. This is her memoir about growing up in […]
Another fantastic Ladies Outing in April took 27 of us on a tour of the historical Beekman House in Jacksonville. This house is a 1 1/2 story Gothic Revival style home built by Cornelius C. Beekman between 1870 and 1876 for his wife and two children. It is furnished with period pieces owned by the […]
The Knotty Ladies convened at Carol Kato’s home on April 6. Our winter travelers have returned so we were in full force — nearly. No change was reported in our treasury. Dora has been asked to present a trunk show featuring quilts she has made. The show will be held on April 12 at 2:00 […]
