March is bringing more rain

Seems like we've had a lot of rain this winter...that and colder temperatures than I would like.  I know -- at least it's not ice and snow.  But we Californians are spoiled.  I'll be the first to admit it.  Even though I've only been here half my life, I do consider this home and consider myself a Californian and not a Chicagoan any longer.  Don't get me wrong.  I do root for the Bears and the Cubs - but only if they're not playing against a San Francisco team.  

The Scarlett Ladies Red Hat group had a great time last week when we had our soup lunch. Four members made the most delicious soups.  Yours truly hosted and supplied the salad, wine, and bread. We finished the afternoon with a White Elephant exchange. There was not much stealing; everyone was too polite. However, I was quite happy to steal a large cocktail shaker from another member.  I hope she'll forgive me and is happy with all the lovely scarves that she exchanged that shaker for.  My hubby, B.J., has learned to make a Burnt Almond Martini just the way I like it, and now he can make more than one at a time!  I'm happy to share them, ladies.

The Summerset Vista Kare Bear Fashion Show is this Saturday.  We are pretty much ready for it.  The models have selected their outfits, the food is all ordered, everyone has their jobs, and we have a bunch of wonderful door prizes and silent auction items.  I'll be taking pictures and sharing them on Shutterfly at http://SummersetVistaKareBears.shutterfly.com/.  

Here's hoping for sunshine on Saturday.
