I relinquished the gavel of President over to our next group of leaders of Pine Needle Garden Club. I have so enjoyed the past  two years as President, but most importantly the 13 years of membership in the group. These women have shaped many facets of my life in ways some of them will never know. My Executive committee made me look good–a group of dedicated women, Gina, Winnie, Catherine, Betty, Carol, Doris and Mary.
Beginning with the invitation to visit the Club, then join the membership. Years of developing friendships and strong ties to these ladies not only through monthly meetings, but garden festivals, flower shows, holiday functions, and field trips. And separate whine and wine garden talks!
These ladies teach me about leadership, laughter, order, dedication and patience. Our final meeting yesterday took  place  at one of our senior member’s home in Evans. We shared recipes, swapped  plants and  passed the gavel on  to our next group of leaders..
I Â look forward to many more exciting times as a member of Pine Needle.
see you.

Hi Mary Louise !
I have looked around your website this morning for the photo and description from about three weeks ago of that Rosemary Antipasto you posted. It looked like the perfect appetizer ‘centerpiece’ for me to make for an event I am hosting here in my yard this coming Sunday, June the 9th.
Would you be able to send me , if not the picture, then simply the directions for what goes on the rosemary skewers?
Thanks Very Much,
