The Ladybirds met at Betty Twigg’s house for their Summer Picnic on Thursday, September 13th. Everyone brought a covered dish, and Betty supplied the place, the drinks, and the paper products for the event. There was food a-plenty, including meatballs, quesadillas, pasta salads, lettuce salad, macaroni, potato salad, cole slaw and lots of sweet stuff, too! For dessert there was: brownies, cookies, fudge, eclair cake, cherry pizza, and more, more, more! As Liz, said, “I won’t have to eat for two days!”

The Ladybirds flew into Betty’s house for a picnic and rehearsal on August 3rd. We had been invited there last year, too, so everyone was excited about good food, fun and relaxation. We accepted Betty’s invitation with the understanding that she would not overdo anything in the way of preparation; we brought covered dishes and set everything up for the meal. The food was delicious and plentiful, as usual. No one left hungry, that’s for sure!
