Red Hat Bingo

My November gathering for my Red Hat group was bingo at the Elks! It was fun......but not one of us was a winner (except at the game of friendship!)

Why am I wearing a PURPLE hat when this is the RED HAT SOCIETY?? Because during your birthday month (Yes...Happy Birthday to ME!) you reverse your colors. Purple hat with red clothes! Simple as that!

Wildlife in my Yard

Winter is definitely approaching. The wildlife in my yard is plentiful. The birds are getting the last of the berries.....the deer are growing their winter coats. They definitely keep me entertained.

Halloween Party at Clogging

We had a little HALLOWEEN PARTY
at my clogging class this week.
It was fun and silly! Here are a few memories of the good time!
