Write People...35º

Warmer weather brings breezy conditions to our valley...Possible snow/rain today but mostly just a blustery day...Nice to have the temperature up out of the teens...Maybe we will get a glimpse of  sunshine.

A good day for stew and it just so happens that I have roasted veggies left from Sunday dinner...We've eaten all of the beef roast but happen to have a jar of canned beef on the cellar shelves...I will clean out the fridge of leftover gravy and veggies, add the jar of beef, simmer to heat and maybe add dumplings to the top for a complete meal with green salad.

Yesterday was good for our Write Group...A warm sunny room, at the Josephy Arts Center, maybe a little large for what we need but it will work...The bathrooms and small kitchen is close by...We are looking forward next week to having a potluck lunch and hoping for more members to attend if the weather is better...We toured the building originally built to house the "Bank Of Wallowa County" in the 80's...If my memory serves me correctly the log building came about to pay off the indebtedness of a small lumber company to the bank...In the late 90's, Bank of Wallowa County changed its name to "Community Bank" started a growth spurt and needed a larger building, so the original log building was sold...The new owners changed it into a restaurant plus small office spaces...The log building  has been empty now for about 10 years and recently purchased to house the Josephy Arts Center and provide a venue in Wallowa County for anything to do with arts and culture...Classes of all kinds will be taught there, art shows, musical programs will entertain and groups like ours will have a place for our weekly meetings...It is a unique and beautiful building and needs to be used, of course all of this costs money and the board of directors are actively pursuing grants and private donations for this purpose....Hugs To All...OWAV:)
