The Red Hen Finds a Roost!

I have exciting news girls! At long last I have found a wonderful new home for my classes! I will now be holding classes in this lovely room at the KNPB building here in Reno. The room is great and I will be able to hold crops there as well. The ladies in my Calendar Class were the first to hear and tonight they were the first to take a class from me there. I took a couple of photos so that you can all see how nice the room is and how roomy. In addition to having plenty of space, there is an adjacent kitchen with access to a frig and microwave. It even has an outdoor patio with picnic tables. It is permissible to have food there, so there is no problem with our snacks and such at crops. I'm so thankful to have the room available to me and will soon be announcing a crop to be held there, so watch your emails for your invitation!

Fire!!

As I was coming home from class tonight, I notice the sides of some buildings lighting up. I went to investigate and there on a vacant corner across from the downtown movie theater there was a huge metal tower. There was music playing from large speakers and the tower was lighting up with fire to the beat of the music. There were people dancing around beneath it twirling fire, but by the time I got parked and over there they stopped. I've no idea who these people were, or what it was all about, but I snapped a couple of photos to share with all of you. Our own little downtown Reno Burning Man!

Goal Reached!

Well, another yard sale is under my belt and I am glad to say that our totals game in just slightly lower than our goal. All of the ladies in need of assistance WILL be able to attend the women's retreat next month. A big thank you to those of you who donated items for the sale and to all of you who came to shop.

Holy Smokes!!

Well, I can't believe it, but I'm having yet another yard sale at my house tomorrow. This time it's a fundraiser for my church. Once this one is over I'm calling the charity truck and claiming my yard back!

Matilda's Birthday

Today my one and only grandchild turned 5 years old. Where does the time go? I want a do over! Anyway, I wanted to share some pictures with you that were taken at her party at Pump It Up on Saturday, but I went and left the disk with the pictures on it at their house. I've included one taken of her at school today as the class sang to her with a promise to add a couple of cute ones from the party when I get the disk.

(Tracy posted one of Matilda and I on Facebook that I could grab and share, but I am refusing since my wrinkles and my hairdo make me look positively ancient---Am I really that old? I don't feel that old.)

Okay--Here's a couple of pictures of Matilda Jean on her throne at her Pump It Up birthday party. Is it just me, or is she absolutely adoreable

Night in the Country

I attended the Night in the Country concert in Yerington with Casey and Tracey again this year. Casey just posted this of us photo to Facebook and I thought I'd share it here.
Okay, I know I look ridiculous in that crazy hat, but it was HOT and it helped me feel a bit cooler. Besides---My hair was a mess!
