Goodbye Ruth


Sadly, one of our sweet Red Hat ladies has passed away, Ruth Silvey. She was 93 years old, but you would never have know it, she was always so funny, I can't tell you how many times she made me laugh out loud. She collected hats and had lots of them. Here is a picture of her from our October meeting where I did some face painting. R.I.P. Ruth, I know

Nice day with mom..

What a gorgeous day! Took mom to Mt. Vernon for a doctor's appt., went to Bath and Body Works, bought some goodies there, then stopped by Wendy's for a late lunch. Had a nice day with mom and the sunshine. Hope you all had a great day too! GLEE tonight, and Larry the cable guy's new show on History channel, " Only in America", really interesting.

Happy Valentines day????

So, I decided to take a walk down the cemetery paths. I had my ipod on and was really enjoying myself, when a huge dog came from behind and jumped on my back, knocked my ipod into the mud, then he was standing on it, and he licked my face while I was trying to retrieve it. Fortunately he was a friendly dog! He went on down the road and I ran home...lol....funny NOW, but not THEN.

Freedom for Egypt

What an awesome day for the people of Egypt and an historical day for the world. I hope the Egyptian people get to live in a free and democratic country from now on. It's been amazing to be a witness to this event.

Vegetarian Chili w/ sweet potatoes


The freezing rain has started in earnest now. So, I decided to try a new recipe today, Vegetarian Chili with sweet potatoes....I know that sounds weird, but the flavors are so awesome. Someone is riding a 4-wheeler in the empty field next to us, the dog is going crazy barking...and you all think it's QUIET here...lol...have a great day and stay safe.
