Fall is here

Thursday, November 20, 2008, 9:26 AM [General]

Fall is here- the trees have been gorgeous in their bright orange and red colors. They are now falling and most of the trees are almost bare. Why do they look better on the trees than on the ground?

Yesterday we had the coldest weather since February. Today we are having snow flurries- I hope it doesn't last. I have a bus trip tomorrow to Peddler's Village in Pa. with my friends Donna and Diane. The trip is a Christmas gift from Donna for Diane and me. We do something every year together to celebrate the holidays.

Yesterday I went to a Red Hat luncheon with the Jersey Girls group- I belong to this group plus have my own chapter. It was at Tomasello Winery in Hammonton- down the road from where I live. It was very nice.

My grandson Evan was 3 on the 6th of November. I can't believe it- it seems like only yesterday that we were waiting for his birth. Of course he had a Cars birthday party- his favorite.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my sisters- may you be truly blessed.

I'm back home until April

It has been quite awhile since my last post. I have really been busy going back and forth from Woodbine to home. We usually leave Thursday afternoon to go down and return on Sunday. We closed up on Saturday for the season. I have posted pictures from the beginning until the end of our summer place. It has really been great.

Hugs and kisses to all my red and pink hat sisters.
