The lady is eighty

Marilynn Olson (at the head of the table) was feted for her 80th birthday last Wednesday by fellow crafters – they proudly call themselves the Stitch & Bitch Club – with lunch, a party and cake on The Slider Café patio.

"We started out stitching and bitching," the guest of honor quipped, "but now we eat and laugh."

Joining in the fun were, clockwise: Marilynn Olson, Gwyn Beckwith, Joan Scarboro, Bobbie Arthur, Jan Paul, Cathy Brosnan, Barb Hammer (back to camera), Patty Snider, Ruth Braun, Jean Eagleston, Vickie Napier and Dawn Nord.
