OCTOBER - HALLOWEEN TIME IS HERE !

One is never too old to celebrate Halloween !  Our friends,  Betty & Leonard, had a great party and yes, there was dress up !  Betty has a wonderful holiday spirit with decor to literally die for - witches are her favorite ! 
Speaking of witches, we had an entire weekend to celebrate "Witches & Warlocks" - our annual couples golf trip to the beach.  This was especially fun with lots of laughs and great fellowship.  Think back to the '60's and '70's and those fabulous college days when you loved just being with your friends?  Lots of laughs, games and a bit of alcohol but with early bedtimes and no hangovers-well that is our life as 60 year olds-plus or minus!!  So much fun....Thirty degree morning temperatures with slight drizzle and wind gusts did not dampen our spirit.  Friends can brighten the most dreary of days....and we did have dreary !!  See for yourself....

" THE BIG APPLE "

" Start spreading the news
I am leaving today
I want to be part of it
New York, New York..."
Four days of fun with girlfriends Betty, Darlene and Nan...a whirlwind of shopping, dining and the theater  - "The Book of Mormon" .....a reminder of how important friendship is.  Take time today to call a friend and just talk....email is not the same as a real conversation with friends.  I often forget this myself but I do enjoy the "girl talk" - hours on end of somethings and nothings.  Try it, you'll like it !

AUTUMN SURPRISES !!

A before and after ( ABBA, that is)......Autumn always reminds me of the first day of school.  From first grade even into high school  much of my time in early autumn was spent selecting just the right ensemble, buying  papers and pens, selecting just the right backpack and/or school bag, covering my new books with decorative papers and on and on.  Oh, the good old days....when the most exciting autumn event was the day the new cars arrived in town at the Ford and Chevrolet dealerships.  The entire town arrived for the unveiling-literally-when cars actually took on a brand new shape each year !  And now...we recently spent a great deal of time and research deciding on a new car-SURPRISE- the 2012 models arrived without any fanfare and in many cases the dealerships are still waiting on the Japanese products that are stalled overseas indefinitely.  The same-but different-what still remained was the "new car smell" and the exhiliration of a "new ride".  AUTUMN HAS ARRIVED !!
Autumn brought a new energy to downtown-we have enjoyed "Rock The Block"- a two day celebration with music (jazz, country, beach, bluegrass, rock, etc.), food, vendors, etc. extolling the virtues of downtown...the Hispanic League's Fiesta 2012.....Winston Salem State University's homecoming parade (especially entertaining)...ArtsPalooza on Trade..."Havana Delirium" at the Stevens Center (although who knew the entire performance was in Spanish? - you were good sports, Leslie & David)..."The MadHatter's Ball" for the Adam Foundation (what a night !)...lunch and dinners out with friends....we love it all!  Included with all of the downtown activity were trips for mountain golf (one with girlfriends & one with the Pinnacle partners).
