Goodbye 2011....

What a beautiful day out there! This has been such a crazy weather year - earthquake, hurricane, snow at Halloween, 60 degrees at Thanksgiving...it's almost fitting that it's so warm. Wishing all the mamas  and their families a wonderful end to 2011 and happiness and health in 2012. Pam - I waved to you this morning - I was in Delaware - only as far as Hayes, DE - so you probably didn't see me! Bernadette is back after her spa treatment - and may get some work this afternoon - hopefully! Have to relay this - as a few of the mamas already qualify. Yesterday, Burkie and I decided to go to the movies. He bought the tickets so I told him I'd buy a tub of popcorn and a drink to split. Lo and behold, I'm standing in line and notice a sign on the counter - AARP deal - only $5.50 for popcorn and a large drink.....really??!!! Best popcorn I ever had. Get that card, girls! May God bless and keep each of us this year.....looking forward to many, many laughs and happy times. Piece.....

Christmas Extravaganza!!!

Ladies.....what a fun-filled evening!! So nice to see everyone.......and the Lamb was just lovely. The food was terrific but the company and conversation were even better......lots of things were discussed - even red solo cups! It was especially nice to see Pam and Scott - the beach folks. And the laughs just kept on coming at Consuelo's house. We used the good china and had wonderful desserts. The pollyanna was a smashing success - everyone received beautiful gifts. We really are a talented bunch! Enjoy the pictures.....

This is Pam's gift from Lori - fits her perfectly.

Hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone. The friendship that we have is special and it was beautifully illustrated in the care and thoughtfulness of the gifts that were created. Wishing all the 'mamas  many blessings in the new year.....piece.

Merry Christmas!

Wishing the mamas and their families a joyful Christmas and blessings in the New Year....
