A Very Cherry February

Saturdays are meant for fashion and Mom and I attended a sweet little fashion show and luncheon as the guest of her friend, Shirley.  It was a nice little outing for both of us.  The fashions were from a local store and were admired by all and sundry.  The lunch was a variety of salads, roll and a cookie bag.  Tea, lemonade and coffee! It was all nicely put together by the ladies who attend Shirley's church. 

 Trying to take our picture together! How does a phone take a picture, again??
 
 The centerpiece for this President's Day Luncheon!  And look..raffle tickets!

Mom is always up for a good raffle!  

:-)

Which is good because we won one of the baskets!
 In honor of the president that chopped down the Cherry Tree (We know it's false, check Snopes, but the legend persists)

2 liters of Cherry Coke, boxes of cherry jello, cherry snack cakes, chocolate covered cherries, a large jar of maraschino cherries, Smucker cherry preserves, cherry Twizzlers, cherry pie filling, a hand crafted cherry fabric wallet and an a cherry fabric oven mitt!  

It certainly made this A Very Cherry February!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
