Sunday - December 13

Very wet day....icky poo!    So, Mark went to the dining room for breakfast and then walked at the mall.    I left to pick up Ann and we were off to El Paso to meet Jane, Marilyn and Debbie.   Marilyn drove her "sleigh" and away we all went to the Senica Oak Ridge Country Club for our Sublettian Christmas brunch.   Here it is December 13th....no fire in the fireplace today as it was another balmy 60 degrees.  We were 28 strong with 7 guys joining us!    What a fun afternoon at this beautiful place ....good food, wine, Bloody Mary's, and friends from waaaay back!  We brought baby clothes, gifts and $ to donate  to women's health clinics in Bloomington, Peoria and Mendota.    Nice to share these adorable outfits with so many in need.    We then had our white elephant exchange and as always, lots of fun with not one single stolen gift this year!

Very heavy rain all the way home......thankful this isn't SNOW!
 
We went to Anne and Patrick's to celebrate Anne's birthday....she fixed the dinner - sweet 'n sour meatloaf, baked potatoes, corn, fruit salad and rolls.   All delish!!!
 
And then  presents and cake....
