On Saturday, October 15 ten members gathered at the home of Barbara Atkins. It was a delightful morning with everyone sitting on the patio with a view of the garden, which was indeed an oasis in SaddleBrooke surrounded with wonderful green foliage from the extensive plants and trees all around. The temperatures were in the 70’s, a lovely bright, sunny morning.

Members once again enjoyed the camaraderie and exchanging tales of their lives since their last get-together. Everyone enjoyed the freshly brewed coffee and tea Barbara served with quiches, almond bundt cake, coconut macaroons and cookies.

The ladies thanked Barbara for inviting them into her home for this very enjoyable coffee morning and book exchange.
