January has been a busy month!

APWC is having our annual fundraiser on Feb. 13, so have been busy with that. Making a recipe book with the scrap group, placecards for the 2 bp tables, favor boxes, posters for auction items, beautiful frames, and various other fun things!
Ryan was home til the 16th, and Kelli was with us til the 9th. Chelsi and Kyle just got back yesterday from the slope, and Mike is in AZ after 4 days in the UK! Doing 2 different bible Studies- "Reasons for God" and "A Study of Acts". Our church Potluck is this Sunday followed by the annual meeting. Great luncheon with a wonderful speaker last Wednesday. Mahjongg on Thursday and I am hosting. Recently did the "Gavel Games" which benefits AYC, and our team came in second...what a blast! We celebrated Burn's Supper in style at the Sheraton. And we also enjoyed the "Fire and Ice" gala very much! Everyone always says that Jan. and Feb. are long, with nothing to do...I don't think so!

Cheese Party at my House!

Pretty colours of the inlet!

So much fun today! Spent about 2 hours chatting, laughing, and eating cheese with my book club buddies. We had read "The Cheese Chronicles" by Liz Thorpe. Not our normal read, but lots of fun! Gave my copy to Stephanie, but will eventually pass it on to both Chelsi and Kelli. I think they will really enjoy it too! We sampled Marco Polo, No Woman, Flagship, Flagship Jack, Laura Chenel's Che'vre, Point Reyes Original Blue, and then Paige brought some Swedish Farmers Cheese and Stephanie brought some Wis. Aged Sharp Cheddar. All were yum! Paired them with almonds, mint jelly, olive relish, honey, apple slices, raspberry jam, kalamata olives, and of course crackers! Missed Kay and Susan. Reading "The Help" for next month.
