Villa Madonna 2016

By -
There they are, the ladies of the Villa  for 2016....what a great bunch and look who's sitting in the centre of all...our Vivian Patriquen...99 years young and putting us all to shame.  She hand sewed the from day  one to the last day .....stayed up as late as everyone else and was up bright and early in the morning.  She smiled the whole time...what a joy she is to be around.

We had a few new faces this year....sorry I did not get last names....Lois , sister to Joanne and Jean Thompson joined us.,...she is a knitter and almost...almost finished a jigsaw puzzle...we never gave her enough time between, meals, snacks and a few games.

Leigh brought her cousin Sharon with her and taught her a few things...she is interested in making a log cabin and finished a top for a future grand baby.  I think we may get her hooked.  It was a great week ...well four days really and we hated to see it end.  If you have never been, consider it, It's good fun in a  clean, attractive and comfortable work space.  I've already committed to next year and probably the year after and maybe........
