Chico’s Style Show

On Thursday afternoon the theatre was full to capacity for our Chico’s Style show.

First down the aisle was Ewell in this beautiful red and white top with white pants.

Next was Carol in a blue and white sundress with an airy jacket.

I was next in an orange Synergy outfit.  This material is really wash and wear.

Phyllis wore these beautiful silver separates.  Today was her birthday and her husband, Bill, bought this outfit for her.

 

Lee modeled this pretty green and white top with a white jacket and jeans.

Our social director, Erin, wore this black and white polka dot top with black jeans, a red jacket, and scarf and belt.

Annabelle had on a red and white top with white pants and a blue jacket.  She looks ready for the fourth of July.

Ewell’s second outfit was a turquoise shell with a multi colored jacket and black pants.

Carol tried to fly in her floating top with navy pants.

I too had on a floating top with navy pants.

Phyllis wore white pants with a shell and black sheer jacket.

Erin was all in silver with a bolero jacket.

Annabelle's top was a shimmery gold with black pants and a striped jacket.

 

Phyllis’ last outfit was navy and white.  her jacket had lots of embellishment.

My last outfit was a Traveler’s knit.  Notice anything different about me?  I got a wig just for fun.

Annabelle had on this beautiful multi-colored top with black pants for her last outfit.

After the show they brought out all the clothes for the ladies to touch and ooh and aah over.

A fun time was had by all.  The best thing about being a model was that we got 10% off anything we wore.  I will go to the store tomorrow to see what I want.

Happy Hour Out at BJ’s

Last night was Happy Hour Out and we went to BJ’s.

We were a smaller group than usual.  From right to left and front to back are Peggy, Frank, Lee, Margaret, Peggy, Lindley, me, Phyllis, Bill, Kay, and Lyn.

We filled up two booths and a table.

 

Bill, Phyllis, Kay and Peggy sat at the back booth.

 

Cat on the left met us there and sat with Peggy and Lindley who were joined by Annabelle who drove herself.

 

I got a picture of our table with Margaret, Lee, Lyn, Frank, and Wayne in it.

Here is one table of appetizers and there was a BJ’s special pizza on the next table.  The food was wonderful as were the drinks.

  

Erin our social director was also there.

As usual, a fun time was had by all.

Mother’s Day 2013

Wayne and I drove the Beemer to Waco to meet Nola and Matt and Michelle and Michael at the Texas Roadhouse for lunch.

Here I am talking to Matt as he fixes my Android phone.

The armadillo snuck into the picture.

 

Here we are waiting, and waiting, and waiting even though we called ahead.

  

Here we all are.  Nola, Matt, Michael, Michelle, me, and Wayne.  Lunch was very good.

 

After lunch we all went to see Iron Man Three before driving back to our respective homes.

Trouble’s Hiding Place

Everytime we go out we make our dog, Trouble get off the couch.  Now when we rattle the car keys he automatically goes to his hiding place.

For some reason he likes to hide in our closet under the shirts.

 

When he realized Wayne had the camera he came out to see what was going on.

Don’t know why he decided the closet was better than his bed and he won’t tell us why.

Out to Lunch Bunch

On Friday, the Out to Lunch Bunch gathered in the lobby to board the bus.  That’s Keith, our GM, in the background visiting with us before we leave.  Linda is on the front desk to greet visitors.

We loaded up the bus.  On the left hand side from front to back are Margaret, Maggie, Tommye, Bob, and Lee.  On the right hand side are Bobbie, Kay, Lillian, Betsy, me, Gert, and Lyn.

We went to Trudy's which is a place I used to go with the Ya Yas when we lived in Austin before.

We had to wait a few minutes before we could get seated.

Here we are with our waiter.  They had a Tex-Mex buffet which a lot of us took advantage of with some of the group ordering from the menu.

Wayne and I enjoyed out  meals.   Wayne and Lyn said their margaritas were good. Some of the group selected spicier items from the buffet and weren’t as pleased.  And those who ordered off the menu had to wait quite a while to get their food.  We probably won’t come back here as a group.

Jewelry Class

This week we worked on simple informal  wire wrapping of sea glass and other flat stones. One lady finished her watch band from last class and another who had finished hers after I took the picture had hers on so I got a picture of both of them along with the wire wrapped pieces.

Next week we are going to work on a variety of stringing projects.  Some want to make necklaces, some want to make bracelets to put our room keys on and we may even have some earring makers.

Take me out to the Ballgame

On Monday we went to a Round Rock Express baseball game at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock.  Eight of us bought passes to the Intel Club which is air-conditioned.  Here is the view from the club.

The weather was perfect so we didn’t need the AC.  Here I am sitting behind Bob and Tommye in front of the Intel Club. 

They had $1.00 hot dogs that day and we all got one.  Here are Lyn and Gert enjoying theirs.

 

Those who didn’t buy Intel Club Passes were sitting somewhere over here.

Here we are loaded up on the bus to come home.  On the left side, Carol is hiding behind the railing but her husband, Herb,  is easy to see.  Behind them are Betsy and George.  Behind them is Velma and behind her is Donald.  On the right hand side are Bob, Tommye, Wayne and me, Lyn, and Gert.

We all had a lot of fun and look forward to going again.

Cinco de Mayo by the pool

Any excuse for a party.  Sunday was Cinco de Mayo so they decided to have a party by the pool.  Wayne and I got down by the pool early.  We joined three women who beat us down.

That’s me in the red top and hat.

It wasn’t long before there was a crowd.  I am not going to attempt to put names in on this blog.  They served margaritas, empanadas, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. 

 

They had hired a mariachi band to entertain us.

 

You can barely see me sitting on the far right hand side.

 

Here is a little better picture of the mariachis.

Allison and Linda helped, Erin and her daughter serve the margaritas.  Cindy from marketing helped too.

Here is a view looking away from the bath house.  It was very crowded and they had to bring out more chairs and tables.

The mariachis came around to the different tables to sing and play for us.

Looking towards the bathhouse where it filled up too.

The decorations were colorful.

We all decided that the party should last for two hours next year.  An hour wasn’t long enough.
