BRILLIANT RED JEWELS AND GYPSIES, FORTUNE TELLERS, WIZARDS, STAR GAZERS, SAILORS, AND A PIRATE, unlikely
combinations gathered for Fun and Food at Paris In Pembine October 27, 2011.
AMBERG WRITERS GROUP ENTERTAINED THE RED HAT GROUP AT PARIS IN PEMBINE
Halloween costumes and short stories highlighted the presentation by the Amberg Writers Group when they joined the
Brilliant Red Jewels of the North Red Hats for their monthly meeting at Paris in Pembine restaurant. Tiny Crocheted Red Hats
bedecked with a purple ribbon, Halloween pencils and small Halloween treat bags of candy decorated the participant's table
settings donated by the Amberg Writers group members.
Stories from former writing prompts entertained the group and each author ended their presentation by giving a gift to one of
the lucky Brilliant Red Jewels.
Gloria Persinger entertained the group with a true story sparked with a bit of "what if?" about the mysterious star V838, while
Don Persinger showed the group what could happen if you are late, a true story ignited by the writing prompt "The Man With
Red Whiskers Who Always Went Through the Door First." Diversity abounds when it comes to the writing prompts proving
that an idea is never written the same way by those who hear it. It is never more obvious then when the group hears Jean
Larson's version of the same prompt. Her story involved not tardiness but a Seeing Eye dog and his mistress, a blind woman.
Dogs are always a favorite topic, it seems, and Catherine Niec used one of the prompts to show the group an apparition of an
Irish Setter whom she tried to return home to the people she thought he belonged to. A fitting Halloween story, revealing, but
not a bit scary--well not really—as the grandmother had an Irish setter and...
Susie Van Deluyster, her stories as delightful as her cross stitching is beautiful , entertained everyone with a story of her
acquisition of her first Yorkie puppy.
Patti Gmeiner, one member who speaks in pictures and sometimes in words told her story from the prompt "I'm a River Not a
Swamp," and presented the group with a framed picture, a black and white of a local river rushing in spring time white foam
over rocks and obstacles in its path. Using the same prompt, Marge Vogels wrote about after being the river rushing and
rushing through most of her life she was glad to finally be a quite brook-type river meandering through life quietly, serenely,
living at a more leisurely pace…She emphasized she was, however, a river, not a swamp.
One of our newest members entertained the group with a story from a prompt she had been given at a recent retreat. Given
five minutes they were asked to write about an article of clothing – she chose white as the background for the shopping trip
she imagined where all the articles of clothing were white – white being purity – Robelle Degenaer gave away a crocheted
white angel ornament to one of the Brilliant Jewels.
Billie Williams as master (or is that mistress?) of ceremonies introduced each of the writers. As her contribution she gave
away a copy of her most recent book, July Heat. The cast of characters in this mystery are all the members (and a couple
former members) of the Amberg Writers Group. A member of the Brilliant Red Jewels of the North Red Hat Group was the
recipient.
Anyone is welcome to join the group that meets the 3rd Saturday of the month at the Williams home in Amberg, WI. At 1:30 in
the afternoon. For more information email Williams at billie@billiewilliams.com or call 715-759-5919 –if you get the machine
leave a message and your phone number and she'll call you back.
