Red Hats and Western Week

Today the Red Hat's met for their monthly luncheon at the Mid Western Restaurant in Mesa.   You know when we arrive as a statement, of some sort is made ,when we all enter the dining room wearing our purple outfits. and flashy red hats.  Christmas was good to all of us, we all are sporting new Red Hat pins necklace, watches, earrings, and a feather boa.  We are a fun loving group with no rules.  Next meeting is Jan 26 with a wine tasting party.  Yum!!  

 Last night Bob and I went to the park center and played Mexican Train.  There were so many of us there, some did not get to play.  A bigger hall next Tuesday.   

 They also had a entertainment last night up there, by "Igor Jazz Cowboys"  This is western week, so a lot of activities suggest a western theme.  

 Tomorrow, Thursday, is the Rawhide Luncheon which always draws a crowd.  Starting at 11AM , there will be a pie action with the profits going to the local fire and rescue department.  We will all wear our western finery and keep the biding going. Bob has a softball game in the morning  and hopefully he will get back in time for lunch. 

  Friday will be filled with games after another lunch.  The games will begin with "Cow Putter Golf" followed by Cow chip toss, calf roping and good guys against bad guys western tug-of-war.  

 Thereis a lot going on Saturday too.  The softball teams, there are three of them, are sponsoring a western pork chop luncheon.  Saturday is also the park's patio sale day, like a very large flea market. And come Saturday night we can dance the night away with Wild Bill and Carol Z entertaining.  

Sunday will be a day of rest and probably laundry!!!

That sound like a wonderful time...it reminds me of summer in Minnesota...I don't know if summer is ever going to get here...but enjoy the warmth and fun for us all up here in the northern states.
