Our first Quarterly Saturday GEMS Lunch was held at The Duncan Center in Delray Beach. Deb McLaughlin was our lunch host. We had a phenomenal time. We met a group of ladies enjoying a quilting retreat. We were invited to peek in at their activity, to see the ladies in action, after lunch. Suzie King ran into a friend who is currently making a quilt for her sister! Christy saw a friend who was attending a different function while we were having our lunch. Jan and Carol discovered how very close they grew up together in Michigan,

It was cool and cloudy at lunch, but the skies opened wide and sunshine poured in for us, so we were fortunate to share the outdoor labyrinth.

Before our labyrinth walk Deb gave us some insight as to the history of labyrinths around the world, along with helpful hints for a memorable walk in the labyrinth. Unsure what to expect, I started my journey with an open mind. Yes, thoughts started popping up in my head. I do believe repeat walks will reveal more for me. Very inspiring!

Deb showed us the chapel and indoor labyrinth. Beautiful, just beautiful!

If you have never walked a labyrinth, or visited The Duncan Center, you are in for a treat. Thanks Deb for the warm fuzzy day.

Our next Quarterly Saturday GEMS Lunch will be in May. Watch for updates on date and location.

This month’s featured WEC Book Club selection is “The Horse Boy” by Rupert Isaacson.  A Barnes and Noble brief review begins:  “In this intense, polished account, the Austin, Tex., parents of an autistic boy trek to the Mongolian steppes to consult shamans in a last-ditch effort to alter his unraveling behavior.”  The Book Club will meet at 6:30 on Monday, October 12 at Kerrie Krutchik’s home.  Please call her if you will attend and bring a dish to share for our potluck supper.  You may contact Emily Rushin at wisemily@bellsouth.net with any questions.
