Looking ahead to 2014 we can only hope for a better economy and health and good fortune for all.....well we can HOPE!! 2013 was difficult and I personally am still reeling from some of the situations that affected me here but I am humbled by the kindness and understanding of friends I have gained here in Maine.
We finished out the year with our Victorian Tea & Shopping Soiree and that was alot of fun. Congratulations to Janet, Nanette and Jeri who won Door Prizes. A special Thank You to Kate and Diana for their help.
We also had our first Red Hat Sisters Luncheon and Holiday Shopping Event and a great time. These ladies traveled atleast an hour to get here and all were in Red Hat form. We were joined by Stu from the Observer and I think he enjoyed himself as well. Lunch was good and the dessert even better!! One group who wanted to be here but was afraid of the drive is from Orono. The Queen Bee asked that perhaps we would consider a Summertime outdoor luncheon.....they don't mind driving in good weather. I think we will work on making this happen.
I have to take a moment to shower my Grandchildren with praise...(bear with me!). Chloe has just won the Geography Bee for PCSS, she is the first girl to do so and she will now test for state level. Chloe has also been nominated for National Junior Honor Society and continues to maintain High Honors grade levels. Sabrina decided she wanted to play chess....and has become quite the opponant, playing to a draw with her computer.....and Dad!! Sabrina is always ready to help and enjoy new things and I love watching the person she is becoming. My only Grandson is hillarious and just like his Dad. Its great to see how completely instride they are as they take on one project or another. I can't wait to see what future interests he will have. You guessed it, I love them all dearly and just wanted to share with you what keeps me moving forward.
Thats all for now. Stay warm and healthy. Joy.
