Fun and Fellowship with Writer Friends

One of the highlights of my year is the annual Southwest Christian Writers' Christmas/New Years get-together. Yesterday, about 15 members of SCWA enjoyed a great afternoon of fun and fellowhip at Farmington's Gateway Museum.

The event began with prayer and a fantastic welcome and encouragement from President Lin Harris. After that, we shared ideas, publishing trends, and current works-in-progress before diving into a delicious Mexican potluck/ buffet that included assemble-your-own burritos with chicken, beef, beans, rice, chips, and salsa.

Our traditional bean auction followed, with each member bidding portions (or all) of his/her bag of 50 pinto beans on wrapped gifts tagged with clues as to their contents. What fun!!
