A trip to Shady Grove cannot happen unless you get together a group of 10 or more people. Here is the rag-tag gang we threw together in order to pull this off. They are an independent lot and even getting them to co-operate for a group photo is difficult. Note that very few of them are paying attention to the photographer ......... until.....
I called out the magic word to get everybody's attention. "Faspa!" *
And no group photo would be complete without every single member on the picture, so yours truly snuck into the back row for this shot.These fine looking people are our Care Group, a collection of like minded folks who get together semi regularly because of shared values, interests, and primarily, our shared faith. Wonderful friends, each and every one of them and they mean the world to us.

Sitting, left to right: Ken, Heidi, Henry, Delores, and our fearless leader, Erv.
*Faspa: An ethnic traditional late afternoon Sunday meal typically consisting of cold cut meats, various salads including green, fruit, or Jello, home made buns, preferably the two decker ones called zwiebach, Strawberry and/or Raspberry freezer jam, a veggie platter, home made dill pickles, coffee and tea, and a multitude of very sweet desserts, home baked and in ample supply.

A wonderful event this was amongst this collection of friends, and even the meal together at the end - even though it was not a traditional faspa, was a great coming together of friendship. This was a really good idea.
