Greetings Lambs, What You Missed: On Dec 16 2006 we treated ourselves to dinner at Crescent Beach, one of the most beautiful restaurants in the Rochester area. The food was delicious, especially the generous portions of Prime Rib that some of us had. After dinner we strutted our stuff to some upbeat music in the lounge and worked off a few of the calories we consumed, then we wandered around outside amid awesome light displays. Our final Tuesday gathering of the year on Dec 19 was a fellowship night rather than our usual discussion group. Besides bountiful food, we also brought many different games, but we didn't play any of them. We had such a good time chatting and joking and getting to know each other even better, we had no interest in games. We never did reach consensus on what we wanted to do on New Year's eve, so as of this writing on Dec 27, our Lambs may be out playing in different neighborhoods, so please drive carefully. Our Bible Study was another enjoyable event with more new people attending. Our little Bible Study group is now almost as many as our regular Tues meeting, and we are learning some interesting things about Christianity and the Bible from Father Lance, a deep well of Biblical knowledge, and of course a little Risso Therapy too.
