Aprons, Hospitality, Biscuits and Borscht

What a great Day!

We travelled by bus to St. Catharines for the
Annual Spring Enrichment Day
for 
Women of Mennonite Church Eastern Canada



Creative and witty organizers,
Delicious food,
Outstanding music,
Reconnections with old friends,
Meeting new friends,
Sisters,
and best of all,
meeting Bev Klassen from

Pretty much a perfect day!

Bev taught us the many uses of a good biscuit recipe!



We were served delicious Borscht for lunch!



Look who I met today!!!!  Such a thrill!

I am so thankful to have been
able to attend this day.
It was worth the drive and 
I have been truly enriched on so many levels!!!

  1. Thanks so much for posting about the conference. I was thinking about Bev today. She is my SIL and I knew she was in St Catherines today. So appreciate her but also the MGCC. I've been to several of their presentations her in the Fraser Valley.

  2. What a fun outing with friends (old and new)! I think women outings are very renewing.

  6. I was speaking with some one else who went and said it was a good day. I couldn't imagine you not going when you knew who the presenter would be.

  8. How cool is that?! What? One can do multiple things with a common biscuit recipe? I need that knowledge!

  9. Thanks for your pictures and kind comments Rosella - it was so much fun meeting you. I've marked your blog and will start reading it now that I know you! It is enthusiastic "sisters of the heart" like you that make being a part of MGCC so much fun.
    (Glad you got your parcel - still wishing I'd remembered to bring it to the conference!)
