Thanks for the Donations BACON BITS! or the Tales of Priscilla Danny Villalpando – painting Classy Corner display area Thank you to everyone for feeding me in March. My belly was Ron Rector & Touchmark for puzzles full and I was as content as a ‘pig in mud’. Actually, I am not into mud, but I am into sharing my experiences with Southside Lois Bradshaw for tea & mints Travel. Margaret Nelson and Regina Eitzen for coffee So, for my first trip I went on the ‘Men’s Day Out’ adventure to Lisa Rosier for staff appreciation day recognition Dry Fly Distillery. The men didn’t mind me coming along after I promised to follow the rule of “what happens on Men’s Day Linda Webster for coffee, tea and honey Out, stays with Men’s Day out”. Being safety conscious, I did Carol Huber for coffee wear my seat belt which covered my eyes, good thing too I was a little nervous on my first bus trip going to a distillery with Mic Cochrane for an assortment of beverages men! The picture below is of me with the guys surrounded by Rosalie Hembroff for tea barrels of liquor. We had Diana Hart for coffee lunch at No-Li Brewery. Bobbi Ahouse -- framed picture for the “bingo” hall It turned out great, it was extremely interesting and I got Mary Van Couvering for a plethora of pens & note cards to ride on the Gondola, ‘yes Carol Gabel for candy for the front desk pigs do fly!’ I highly recommend it! Stay tuned for Priscilla thanks you for feeding her.
