Fun Times

The Girls Get Together ROCKS!!!

Three to four times a year "the girls" get together for a day of laughs, great stories, good food, and a little crazy stuff thrown in and this December 19th didn't disappoint anyone! Here we are enjoying a beautiful day on the patio.

From left to right: Cynthia, Marcia, Julene, Kathy, Denise & Sheila

Cha-Cha and Parker joined us for the portrait

We had lots of 'beverages' to drink! Our party started at noon and we figured it was 5PM somewhere in the world, so we started drinking our 'beverages'.

Sheila & Denise were our hosts and the party was at their house in Santa Clara. They surprised all of us by having a white elephant gift giving event. There were some crazy "gifts" (and I use that term loosly) and we all had lots of laughs over them. Every gift had a story behind it which fit each person... LOL

No explanation needed for this book!!! hee-hee
Now this was the wierdest "gift" but once you know the story you'll understand. This collar and panel down the front is full of pretty beads. Denise cut it out of an old jacket. They know I make greeting cards and use glitterly stuff on the cards... hence the gift fits the person! I've already removed all the beads and they are ready to use on my cards.
Julene is the big gambler in the group and here she is opening a lier's dice cup. It's from Tijuana if that tells you anything!

OK ladies... why don't you just get a room for God's sake!!!
More good times...

Toasting to good friends

I miss my buddies, I used to see them every day at work.

Here's some of the good food we enjoyed.

The dogs had a good old time playing together.
