After being stuck in the house most of yesterday, today was a different story.  I was able to take my usual morning walk and even though it was a little on the breezy side, the warmer temps made it very enjoyable.

John and I ate breakfast, got cleaned up, and headed off to church where, following the service, we had a potluck meal.  When we got home, we relaxed for about half an hour before heading off to the Art Studio for their open house.  We talked to a few of the artists and saw many beautiful paintings as well as works in progress.   We've discovered there are many talented folks living here on the fort.

We returned home long enough to pick up a couple of bags of chips, grab the camera and sweatshirts, and hopped in the golf cart to head over to Rodger and Tootie's place.  They invited some folks over for a little party and, as usual, there was plenty of food.  We all made our own pudgy pies over an open fire.  You take two pieces of buttered bread and put your choice of meat, cheese, or fruit in between the slices, place them on the pudgy pie iron and heat it in the fire.  John and I never had them before and they were delicious as well as fun to make.  As the evening wore on, we sat around the campfire playing a couple of games before the party broke up.
