Each member of the fellowship was invited to bring some Thanksgiving left-overs to add to our communal stew pot as well as a reading to share. Fourteen of us proudly braved the breezy Sunday morning to share a meal and company with each other and the wide variety of ducks in the duck pond!<br /><br />Two delicious pots were stewed up and the following readings were shared by fellowship members:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.poetry-archive.com/w/i_saw_in_louisiana.html">Walt Whitman - I saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing</a><br /><a href="http://happycircumstance.blogspot.com/2007/12/from-baxter-black.html">Baxter Black - Rudolph's Night Off</a><br />Fran Fanning - The Desert is a Woman - no link :(<br />Luann Pfost - Oasis at Noon - no link :(<br /><a href="http://poems.topdownloads.net/poems/old-friends_2_3006.html?hl=&ia=0">C.

Thanks very much to the good people at the Yuma Conservation Garden for hosting us.<br /><br />Next week, Sunday December 5th, we will be back at the upstairs chapel of the First Presbyterian Church at 11:30am for a presentation by Mike Mayberry on Transition Culture.
