Making Our Way Together
Slowly, slowly, we are coming out of the pandemic, world turmoil
and our mutual disappointment over the loss of our access to Verite, our beloved gig. We are steadfast in our desire to keep our sisterhood of shared memories consecrated by the sun, rain, snow and sweat together and intact.

Still grieving - missing our weekly rows on our beloved Verite boat, especially now that it is summer. Instead, we gather at Terese’s house to commiserate and think about what to do about the situation. When in doubt gather for tea (and food). That has been our motto from the beginning - some 20 years or more. Anybody who has ever boated up alongside the Verite when crewed by the ladies knew the circle would opened and cookies or whatever the fare would be shared. Every time out on the water together was worthy of celebration.
Terese provide a great space for us to gather. She provided imaginative entertainment too. Her resident deer laid on the lawn listening to every word we said. I think she quite agreed with all that was said. Imagine it , there were at least 12 or 13 of us talking and laughing and whoopin' it up and she wasn't bothered in the least. She was a kindred spirit from another mother, Mother Earth.

We had a wonderful end of summer gathering at Joan’s house. It was like an upscale version of girl scout camp. No hot dogs or s’more’s fell into the fire because apparently we not only can handle 18 ' oars and we can also handle sharp forked instruments over leaping flames! So beware!
Delightfully, the marshmallows were homemade and the biscuits - delicately thin and the chocolate was labeled 'intense'. How perfect is that! I don’t know any camp which gives campers a warmed washcloth at the end of a s'more event for wiping the
chocolate/marshmallow ooze from one’s hands and lips. It was really special - so spa-like! Joan could start a business venture and offer that experience. Think how she could improve the state of the nation's mood. Thank you Joan!
