This past Saturday (October 13), our little group enjoyed the delightful weather provided us and took advantage of the sunshine with a picnic at Mr. Jefferson's retreat, Poplar Forest. Our party was a wonderful mix of ages--ranging from toddlers to those...*ahem*...with more experience and everything in between! After gathering in the late morning, we toured the house which is still in the process of being restored. That was followed by a sumptuous repast and conversation that only those of a like mind can share. The younger people retired to play games of Graces and Fox and Geese (or just generally explore the grounds) while the rest of us busied ourselves with games of whist and the reading of news and correspondence recently received. Of course, true to our reputation that "Virginians will dance or die," we indulged ourselves with Auretti's Dutch Skipper and Physical Snob. We were much gratified by the number of couples who participated! We flatter ourselves that all comers were entertained and departed eager for the next gathering. If distance kept you from joining us, we invite you to view the pictures of the event on our Facebook page.
