I'm dreaming of cold, fresh air, blue skies and my snowshoes AND clear, non itching eyes! It is a hot and breezy day, as our thermometer reads 95 degrees today with a hot and bright sun boring down. The hotter it is, the itchier my eyes are! Grrrrr. I don't even want to go to the pool but when it cools down after supper, and the wind dies down I just may do that.
It's been a great season here this time with lots of company, good time and fun social events. Our annual Tea Party ... NOTHING to do with politics!! ... was dubbed "Spring Fling" this year. It was a tea total success! About 40 ladies attended, all donning lovely and imaginative tea party hats and fitting attire. The decor at Sunrise Hall was lovely, the luncheon superb and the handsome waiters ... the very greatest! These three guys judged the hats and attire and did a great job in that capacity as well. Three prizes were awarded: The most original, the prettiest and the most humorous. See pictures of our fun and fancy gala below.
Now it is time to start sorting and cleaning and packing up to head back North ... a race with the robins. Our friend Gene has our drive and our walks all plowed and the temperatures have been in the 40's they tell us. I'll try to squeeze some of this excessive heat into our trunk but when we are finally loaded, there isn't much room back there!
Miss Lizzie saw the first suitcase come out today and gave me that look "Oh no, not again already" . Traveling just isn't her 'cup of tea'.
We are looking forward to this Saturday as the whole of Sunshine Village is treated to a farewell get-together bash complete with a small band for music, food, games and a good time at Sunrise Pavilion, all courtesy of the Park owner, Rob. Thank you Rob!
Time marches on and each day is a gift
From the first birdsong at dawn
Till off to sleep we drift.
May I live each precious day
Loving and caring, striving to do my best
Living the day to it's utmost fullest.
Dottie
