lene's home.  She also spent an afternoon with her daughter, Becky Wegleitner.  They sipped on coffee and prepared an order for Christmas gifts.  When you see just how busy the stores can be it's a much easier and relaxed way to shop.

Dana Pulfrey and Roy and Carrie Pulfrey headed to Palm Springs last week for a vacation.  They did some golfing and relaxing and had a wonderful time.
 
Barney and Carol Hanse and Mark and Braven Hanse attended Molly Hanse's violin recital at the ARCC in Aberdeen on Sunday, November 17th.  Molly is an awesome young lady with a lot of talent.  One day after school she got off the bus here and asked me if I would like her to play her violin for me.  It was one of those things that just doesn't happen every day, especially in a small town like Claremont and I will most likely never forget my very own "Molly" performance! 
 
Becky Wegleitner was one of the "Celebrity Chefs" at the Langford  Community Foundation appreciation supper last Friday, November 15th. Gabby Merkel and I attended.  There were appetizers, beverages, salads, desserts and a fabulous pork loin supper served.
 
I hope your week was great.  Mine was busy as usual with a typical amount of drama and stress but there always seems to be some wonderful tucked inside there too and that is what makes it all worth while!
