Barbaree Babes and Andie's neighborhood Animal Alert

Barbaree Babes met at Carol's last night. We voted on our very own neighborhood Animal Alert as our charity for Christmas and the rest of the year. Might have a fund raiser during the year.

Carol had great treats for us, everyone talked at once and a good time was had. We always need a project and Animal Alert will be the best.

Lunch with redhead mom

Dawn took me to lunch at Patrizios for my birthday. Yes, my birthday continues. I love that. Isn't she pretty? She's a charter member of the Redhead Mom's Club from Lakehill. We had to band together. We were/are a great group. We had nicknames for each of us. Dawn is the pretty one and you can see why. Weather was beautiful, we sat on the patio and had a big time.

On the way home I stopped to take a picture of this piece. I've loved it since it went in. Never would have thought of yellow for it, but it works.
