Texas Garden Club Notes
Hi readers - Thursday 4th December saw 23 garden club members and friends come together at the Golf Club for our Christmas breakup. Firstly, thank you to all who helped in any way to make our day a wonderful festive occasion. To the caterers, well done on a lovely spread.
President Mary started the day off by thanking everyone for attending. Then our regular quiz lady gave us an easy Christmas quiz, or so she said. The winner was Shirley with 10/12 correct responses. Thank you Merrilyn for the quizzes throughout the year.
The raffles were then drawn with Marya 1st, Bettina 2nd and Fiona 3rd. The lucky door saw Bettina 1st and Fiona 2nd. Congratulations to the lucky winners.
Celebrity Heads saw three members up for the game. We had Albo, Donald Trump and Penny McKinlay. This was a lot of fun with lots of good question and laughs. Well done to our three members.
Flower prizes were presented. Single Flower – 1st Paul, 2nd Luci and tied for 3rd was Jenny and Mary S. Three to five flowers – 1st Paul, equal 2nd Luci and Jenny. Cluster of flowers – The points were shared between Bryan and Paul.
We then drew our lucky number for Secret Santa. There were lots of lovely gifts given out.
A brief discussion was held about the Atholwood garden day on December 12th.
President Mary ended the day with her personal thanks to everyone, wishing us a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, and with our tummies filled we adjourned to our homes after a wonderful day.
Think on this – The soil celebrating the Lord works wonders and does great things so tell the soil to celebrate. Joel 2:20,21. How does the soil celebrate? By letting the Lord work wonders as it produces all kinds of growth.
To readers and gardeners, I wish you a happy and joyous Christmas and a happy New Year. See you all in 2026.
