Robin hits the trail with his horse

April 2nd Thursday we had our first venture into having a poet and artist combined into one fascinating person. The poetry read by Ned Bodie (his stage name ) was really impressive and we all enjoyed it very much. He also treated us to some lovely western style CDs for a little back ground music. On the artistic side Robin Freerks paints the area where he lived and ranched in California. He is originally from Holland and when his family moved to the United States from Holland he quickly realized this was a dream come true. He is an experienced horseman and loves to portray scenes and horses he knows.

The Wines of the Neighborhood were served with style by Leroy Schoot and they are always very special with whites and reds to experience. Leroy chooses different wineries that are in and around the Gorge area on the Washington side. There are some very fine wineries located here . also we had a great selection of snacks. Robin brought his dish which was meatballs served with his special barbecue sauce. All I can say is they were yummy.

Watch for our new monthly event starting soon. Final Friday will feature an open mic and authors of poetry, written works and music will be welcomed to perform. Coffee will be served and food will be available too. It will start at 5 P.M.
