A beautiful day -- and it's nearly April

The sunshine can sure change my mood.  Does it do that to you?  It's got me thinking of planting flowers and watching grandchildren play soccer and baseball.  And then I think about the pool opening in just over a month.

The Hooray for Hollywood was fabulous.  Did you get there?  Great costumes and entertainment, good food, martinis, wine, and friends.  What more can you ask for in Summerset?  Here are a couple of pictures.

It's STILL March

Today reminds me of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.  More rain on the horizon, too.  I just keep reminding myself that I may actually miss this weather come August.

The Kare Bear Fashion Show, as those who attended will agree, was a big success and a lot of fun.  There were so many door prizes that about 30% of those there took something home.  And the centerpieces were a great prize for those lucky enough to get to take one home.  There were wonderful silent auction items, too.  Some women got a really good deal on those.  Thanks to all the donors of door prizes and silent auction items.  Kare Bears will be hosting a dinner event with speakers from Hospice.  Be sure to sign up.  The dinner is free, but you will have to have a reservation.  The next event will be our All Kare Bear Luncheon, which is hosted by Summerset III this year.  The profit from our fashion show will help to offset the costs of both of these functions.

Tonight is the Social Club Hooray for Hollywood event.  We're all looking forward to the surprises that are in store.  I'm still trying to decide what glamorous outfit to wear. 

My grandson and the Insomniac Team took their robot to Sacramento this weekend.  They made a good showing, but didn't make it to the final round.  I'm sure they had a lot of fun, but also learned a lot.  Meanwhile Melissa's baseball game was rained out and Alex's game was played in the rain and cold.  Alex's team won 1-0, but were frozen and wet.  Hope we get a little better weather next weekend!

Well, time to pick out my clothes for the gala.  Hope to see many of you there.
