We started the next morning by walking over to Weikel's Bakery which is really close to the RV park. They are famous for their kolaches but they also have pigs in a blanket which is the American name for the ones with sausage inside instead of fruit and cream.
Most of us had the kolaches but what a hard choice. There must have been 20 choices. Jimmie and Shelley had their breakfast burritos which were huge and also delicious.
This fabulous bakery is inside a gas station and also has a gift shop. In addition to the bakery, they also have sandwiches. Don't miss it if you go to La Grange.
They were doing some renovating after hours but it certainly didn't impact our fun.
That afternoon we got together for a card party. We weren't playing rummy or poker. We were decorating cards for a charity called the Forgotten Wishes Foundation. They don't grant wishes. They make sure that people with different abilities are not forgotten through their Forget-Me-Not Friends Club. Anyone can host a "card" party for this nonprofit charity from groups, to friends, to clubs whether in person or even online. You buy blank cards, decorate them with anything from water colors to crayons to markers to stickers. Then send them to the foundation and they take care of sending them to the Forge-Me-Not Friends club members.
I had cards for everyone to do at least one card because your artistic capabilities are not what is important. Several women did at least a couple of different cards. I was so busy getting supplies out that I didn't get pictures of the work of art in progress.
Here are the completed art projects.
There is also a note inside each card that makes it personal.
That evening we all went to the Sealand Seafood and Steaks restaurant for a group dinner.
They gave us a room to ourselves and we had a great waitress who handled the crowd with ease.
Fun times
