The monthly Ladies Lunch Bunch met March 7 at Papa Joes, and the women that attended seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves with all the conversation among them. Carla Jones was the hostess of this function, and she did a very nice job.
I spoke to Carla, and she told me 14 people showed up, and the restaurant supplied them with a separate room. Carla went on to say that there were two waitresses who took care of their group, and they were very attentive.
The menu was varied, and some of the dishes consisted of a Cobb salad (tremendous); a sample plate, which included several foods; seafood dishes; and, even a seafood pasta delight.
Their “special” drink was strawberry sangria and several women had this.
Everyone seemed to enjoy their lunches, and because some plates were so large, there was food to take home, so they could reminisce about the good times.
A few days later, on March 10, the lunch connoisseurs went to Shells Seafood Restaurant, and it was hosted by Karen and Bill Donlon.
Of course, a giant shell on the outside of the restaurant told us that we were in the right place.
There was a nice crowd of 40 people who enjoyed being with their friends and neighbors.

Once again, there was a variety of food, including chicken with veggies, clam chowder (that I heard was absolutely scrumptious), pasta and various seafood.
Before dinner was served, Galen Parker said grace, while the rest of the people observed a moment of silence.
We always have the lunch connoisseurs once a month, and most everyone looks forward to it. It is a nice way to get together.
In the meantime, back at Grand Horizons, we are getting ready for our new resident phone directory. This directory, in addition to phone numbers, will have pictures of residents. This is good, as we can now place a face with a name.
Nancy Martin is making the appointments for the pictures to be taken, and Karen Donlon is heading up the committee.
It is always nice to have a fresh directory.
