The Ornament Exchange

Five Golden Rings

This year we were able to capture the group singing of "Five Golden Rings".

You can click below to hear our rendition!

There are two sound files available to play. The 'Wave' file should be playable on most computers, but it is a big download. Also, it is only two rounds of our singing Five Golden Rings. The 'MP3' download is a much quicker download. It has three rounds of the song. However, it may not play on some computers.

Shirley and Dick Bean sent another box of fruit that was not at the meeting, since we had the numbers assigned from the “Five Golden Rings Song” the Beans picked the number 8 because that is the number of grandchildren they have. Russ and Heather Nelson had the number 8 and were the winners.

There was no meeting.

The gift exchange was as exciting and fun as usual. As always, there were many wonderful and different ornaments that changed hands many times. Ron was the “Five Golden Ring” Star as usual and the group sang more Christmas carols than ever. It was a festive occasion which all enjoyed.

Next meeting will be Saturday, January 20, 2007 (time to be announced) will be hosted by Heather & Russ Nelson. We are hoping for snow, if not we will enjoy the usual soup, sandwiches and deserts. Heather will do the calling for this meeting.

No meeting in February.

March 3rd, 2007 Joe and Jutta will host a cross country ski meeting. Everyone who Wants to ski should meet at 2 p.m at the Fitzsimons or at 4:30 for the dinner and meeting.
