November 10, 2008


Cassandra (President of Garden Club), Toshi, and me.

Today I went to check out the Plant City Garden Club. I had met Toshi and several of the women at the luncheon the other day (charity event for the hospital) and she said she would sponsor me so I went to check it out. I told them that I don’t garden and I don’t dig in the dirt but if there was anything else they needed me for, I’d be happy to do it. LOL Mom would get a kick out of me joining a garden club. Mom has such a green thumb and she would get a good laugh at ME joining. Anyway, they invited me back so I may go one more time. They do a lot of good work in the community, too but I don’t know if I could get past the part where I don’t garden, even if they could. LOL I learned things about flowers and gardening while there today so that would be one thing that would be fun. I would also like the design aspect of their club. They are having a flower show in Feb and were discussing the themes, etc, and it was fun helping decide how to design a Mardi Gras theme.
I don’t know if I could fit anymore volunteer work in right now but who knows. Toshi is such a hoot to be around that it might be worth it just to here her jokes! LOL
Tonight I took Bill out to eat at Mi Casa for his birthday. We will celebrate on the 16th but I wanted to do something on the actual day as well. His sisters had sent him cards so he read them and mine and we had a nice dinner. I took my camera to the Garden Club but forgot it when we went to dinner. I’m thinking more about photos now of things I will write about on my blog. These things are addicting!

I just love how you are going about finding your niche in your community. I have a friend who belongs to a 'garden club,' but it was by invitation only and one had to have a beautiful garden and very green thumb. (She does!) It is all about gardening and nothing about volunteering in the community, as far as I can figure..and is not very large, but is intense.

It sounds like this club has some interesting things going on I could see you being involved in designing the Mardi Gras theme, etc. even if you don't want to dig in dirt.

I do agree blogs can be addicting. Enjoy.

How fun, Judy. I am amazed you would visit the garden club if you don't like to garden! You are such a people person, though, I can see you would be a joy in such a group even though you don't dig in the dirt!

Very fun to see all your photos. You are looking good, woman!
