Happy Christmas

Happy birthday, Jesus!

 

 

The congregation held an early birthday party for Jesus this morning following the worship service. Belinda and I served as hostesses today, a busy, but enjoyable task.

Cookie plates galore!

 

 

 

The United Methodist Women (UMW) cookie plate assembly line was in full-swing this morning with ten ladies on hand to prepare the plates and boxes.  There were lots and lots of homemade goodies which were supplemented by some candy canes and other treats. 

There were a lot of 'behind the scenes' preparations done including making cookies and getting the supplies ready for this morning.  Thanks to everyone who brought items for this year's plates.

Thanksgiving Day

Remembrance Day

Halloween Party Tonight

Tonight I had the pleasure of attending a Halloween "birthday" dinner party at the clubhouse.

My patio home community has a wonderful dinner party celebration every month to get together, have fun and recognize those having birthdays that month.  "Birthday dinners" are so much fun! 

And we enjoy dressing up for the October's celebration! 

Thanks to my friend, Kathie Bee, I am able to have this picture of me posted on my blog.

Autumn begins

Dog days of summer

Happy Independence Day

Bingo Fun with Belinda

A visit to San Antonio

A must-do!

Lunch with friends

Belinda and I enjoyed lunch with some of her mother's former colleagues at Incarnate Word in San Antonio.  A quick trip to the "Green Door" was fun too! 

New Patio Flowers!

My wonderful son gave me these beautiful patio flowers for me to enjoy this season!

Happy birthday, to me!

May 5th is my birthday, but here in Texas it's perhaps better known as Cinco de Mayo! We celebrated in style at the Holy Angels Catholic Church bazaar and with dinner out!

Early birthday treat

Charles stained the bench in my front garden and added stepping stones. What a difference!

St. George's Day

Winston Churchill Day

Winston Churchill Day celebrates the day he was made an honorary US citizen. On this day in 1963, Winston Churchill became the very first person to become an honorary citizen. He was given this honor posthumously. There have only been 6 people (two are a married couple who received it jointly) to be accorded this stature. 

What does it take to become an honorary US citizen? You have to have made extraordinary accomplishments or contributions in your life. And, then a law must be drafted and voted upon by the U.S. Senate. 

A new bed

This weekend, Belinda and I attended an estate sale here at RCW, and we discovered this awesome bed... with one AWESOME mattress!  Presto/Poof:  I now have a VERY comfortable bed for her visitors!  (It is Bel-approved, so you know it is GREAT!)
