February Speaker

LIANNE HARRIS

 


FAMOUS LOVERS

Forget Romeo & Juliet or Caesar & Cleopatra--there are other couples who had a love that would light the ages!  A love that was scandalous, tragic, forbidden, loyal . . . and oft-times entirely unexpected.

Drawing on eye-witness accounts, contemporary writings and actual letters, presenter Lianne Harris takes a peek inside the intimate, daring, wrenching, even tempestuous private lives of some of history’s ‘other’ great couples.

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU

Sunday, April 13, 2025

Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s classic comedy, You Can’t Take It With You has been charming audiences for decades with its story that celebrates life and the courage to embrace one’s individuality.

Join us for an afternoon at the theatre. We have reserved the 60 best seats in the house for this performance, so feel free to bring along friends.

            Sharing Our Recipes

            Oatmeal Breakfast Cake

            This breakfast idea is great! Make a Breakfast Cake! Enjoy it every morning for many days or freeze slices and microwave individual pieces as you please! “The Big Guy” says it is ‘Constitutional to promote Regularity’!

            We have a long-standing tradition of having left-over baking for breakfast. Usually renaming them as Breakfast Cake, Breakfast Pie, Breakfast Pudding or, just like the 2 of us, Breakfast Tarts! I found this recipe for Baked Oatmeal on one of my email feeds and jumped on it right away.
