On Being a Pandora

Today was a good day. Today was a good day to be a Pandora. We four Pandora's hadn't met in a while, not since we had such a blast dyeing fabrics back in July. So it was a good day for us to get together and talk and relax and just be with each other. Don't get me wrong, we see each other quite regularly (all belong to the same guilds and talking constantly by email and phone) but it was nice to come together as the group we formed, Pandora's. We are not, by the way, the Pandora's, we are just...Pandora's.

One of us, Lushorn, had just finished building a pool in her backyard and she invited us over to christen the pool. It was such a hot day that a cool dip in the pool was just what was needed. She, in fact, spoiled us today, us Pandora's.

We all arrived by 9:30 and Lushorn had a small breakfast of fresh fruit waiting for us...smooth cantelope, juicy watermelon and sweet strawberries. We sat outside on her pool patio and got business out the way while we munched on all that gorgeous fruit. When it got to hot to sit still, those who brought swimsuits geared up and went for a cool and refreshing dip.

Thirty minutes later we were called out of the pool to a beautiful lunch of baked salmon and pasta (didn't I tell you we were spoiled today?). Another member, Susan, brought her version of Tiramisu, the fantastic coffee liqueur dessert. Yummy, yummy, yummy. By this time it was just after 1 pm and we all needed to head back to normal life, picking up kids and feeding dogs, etc.

No matter what our daily lives brings it's always really good to be a Pandora. Thanks my friends.

See ya next time "In the Hayloft",
