Craft Show

Friday, January 7th I got to go to the Beach House Spa for a salt scrub, sauna, facial, and massage. It was absolutely decadent. I only wish I could do it more than once in my lifetime.

Saturday, January 8th I awoke to a huge birthday bag in my chair. it contained the iPad that we had discussed getting later on in the year. I thought the spa package was my birthday present so I was suitable impressed. I couldn’t play with it as I had to be at the recreation room at 8:00 to get ready for the craft show. Here is my table.

The jewelry in the tackle box is all made with fishing swivels. We had a good crowd for the show and I even sold some jewelry. I mostly do this because I enjoy it—not to make money.

Rose Bowl Parade

We always watch the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year’s Day but this year we had a special reason to do it.  Our granddaughter, Michelle, got engaged to Mike Cheripka who is the Assistant Band Director at Birdville ISD in Ft. Worth, TX.  The three high schools in Birdville ISD were in the Rose Bowl parade and I took a few pictures.

   

They did really well.

New Years Eve 2010

I’m starting off the new year with a bang.  Can you believe it—blogs two days in a row.  Last night the park had a New Years Eve dinner and dance.  We had salad, prime rib, baked potatoes, and anniversary cake for one of the couples in the park.  The club room was decorated with lots of mini lights.

 

The television was showing a slide show of the pictures that were taken at the Christmas Eve party.

We even had one of those mirror balls.

  

The park also provide party hats, horns, etc.

I even got Wayne to put on a hat but only for the picture.

After dinner there was a DJ who got the people up and dancing to the oldies and country western music.

We left early as the music got too loud for us.  But we stayed up to see the ball drop in Times Square before going to bed.

Happy New Year to all.
