Having A Very Marienbad Christmas

The ladies 'Circle of Friends' group (at Christmas the men are allowed to come) have been meeting at the Marienbad Restaurant on Carling Street for several years.  The nineteenth century home and origin of our daily newspaper, the London Free Press. It makes a lovely meeting place for the festive season.

It was really nice to get everyone together Thursday night. The solarium or center courtyard of the building forms a private, separate room for our pre-Christmas party. Missing from the group shot was Bud and Mary Helen who are wintering in Mexico.

Stories abounded and everyone seemed to have a good evening. (above: Greg, Joan and Peter)  The Marienbad is known for good food and tonight they didn't let us down. I had the prime rib and it was so tender and delicious as is usual here.

Merry Christmas to all!
