I had to get permission to use the Red Deer River Naturalist's office for this event. So went I went down to set things up I was completely surprised to find that the tables had clothes and there were decorations. Our treasurer who uses the room most had set it up for me without telling me.
So you an tell we had a good time.
You had a good turn out!! :) I hope you will share the counts! :0
ReplyDeleteThis was fun. the bird count is next.
DeleteIt looks like you had quite a crowd!
ReplyDeleteWell, 14 and 2 left before we started.
DeleteWell, that was sure nice of Miss Table Clothes person. And it does look like a good time was had by all. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell the decorations really helped me out. I struggle at fancy stuff.
DeleteWhat a nice surprise to have the room already decorated and set up for you! It looks like you had a great turn out and a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from Missouri Red!
Thanks for visiting Hiawatha House. Merry Christmas to you !
DeleteHow wonderful to be surrounded by good people.
ReplyDeleteWe're like family!
DeleteHi Red, The cake and coffee session looks great. I think I spotted one of those Audubon Singing Bird Clocks on the wall at the end of the room there. Perfect for the Naturalist’s office! Enjoyed the photos. Nice looking group of birders.
ReplyDeleteYes , you did spot a bird clock. this one doesn't sing. These people are enthusiastic and have learned much...not from me but from each other and a biologist who comes with us.

ReplyDeleteGreat folks!
DeleteHow nice that the tables were set. People enjoy doing things for someone as nice as you.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate their help!
DeleteWhat a nice surprise for your Treasurer to do that! And how lovely that all of you birders had a time of relaxation and refreshment before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis has been a great group to work with
DeleteLooks like a fun gathering.
ReplyDeleteWe've spent a lot of good time together.
DeleteThat looks fun to be together in another way.
ReplyDeleteWe've spent a lot of time together so this is a good time.
DeleteWell Red, that was most generous of the "Table Clothes Person" to set that up for you. What a nice surprise and what a great crowd you had there Buddy - Nice. Happy Day
ReplyDeleteI owe her one now! This was also open to spouses.
DeleteLooks like fun! How nice that the tables were set. That was thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly surprised me!
DeleteI believe I spotted The Micro Manager in the first picture. I guess she was there to prevent your usual womanising with lady ornithologists.
ReplyDeleteThe micro manager was there but her toughest job was to look after the cake and she did an excellent job.
DeleteI'm glad someone took care of the setup! I was afraid you were going to say the entire space had been committed to someone else and you had to hold your gathering elsewhere...
ReplyDeleteI made sure I reserved the space. I had to get prior approval from the board.
DeleteYour treasurer is a sweetie! Everything looks wonderful and you had a lovely turnout. Good for you!
ReplyDeletegetting into that holiday spirit, may have to may a cake now, it has been sounding good
ReplyDeleteYou are a special person, I can tell by the way people treat you so well!
