I just finished a nice chat with @Melissa Gill during Coffee 1/2 hr. We talked about the value of getting out and about. Away from our desks. Melissa is starting a new art program locally in Autumn where she gets to be in front of people again. For me I am about to go to lunch with 10 or so business women. I asked if I can come in jeans because that is my attire these days. "Of course!" I think you can dress them up and down. 😎 My favourite jean is Silver - Suki's. They are a Canadian brand and I first bought them driving across America with my husband.

I have been talking vegetables in this group (cabbage) and in another group today (broccoli) so I thought I would ask you: 1. What is your favourite vegetable? 2. What memory does it evoke for you? No least favourite vegetables - just favourite!

We have travelled out to Texas where I grew up. Very dry here - drought looking. Where are you for Easter?

I am listening to Funky Cat at the moment. I put in ‘Shake your Goove thang’ into Spotify and then it continued to dish up one funky, very danceable tune one after the other. Perfect for a warm Autumn evening here in Brisbane.

Thursday we 'Celebrate' and it seems fitting to celebrate our new members. While I like to send each of you a private message when you join it is also nice to announce you to the group as well.
