May Potluck
Today is our May Potluck! We had a wide range of foods. The theme was Military, but since there wasnt really a lot of things to make Military or Red, White and Blue, some people just went toward the American Theme. Pictures will be posted later this afternoon along with the picture of this months traveling trophy winner!
The Winner was Deb with her Chicken and
Dumplings!
Red White and Blue Cake to go along with the theme: Made also by Deb!
