More Goodbyes

This has been a busy week, trying to finish up our packing and going out to lunch and dinner with dear friends.

Tuesday night my book club, the Lit Chicks, took me to Blue Martini at City North for Happy Hour drinks and food. Marilyn brought a most delicious cake (chocolate, of course) and the gals gave me a beautiful silver frame with the word "Friends" on it. Around 8, we drove to Marilyn's house where I led the discussion of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" which everyone said they thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Wednesday night Arne and I were invited to join Bob and Mary Colgan, along with Dan and Judy Spears, for dinner at Club Terravita. Arne used to play golf with Bob and Dan.

Thursday night we took dear friend, Trudy Gray, to dinner at Rancho Mañana. It was such a beautiful evening as we were able to sit outside. Sure didn't seem like June 11th in the desert!

Friday I went to lunch with 8 gals after golf. Arne went to lunch with a friend from the Fitness Center. In the evening, we went to dinner with Wayne and Marge Cook.

More Reunion Pictures

High school friends, Roberta, Jody and Janet. Janet and I were known as Mutt and Jeff as I was so much taller than her. Not sure whether I was Mutt or Jeff.

Few more pictures of new house...

You're right! This is the kitchen.

Good Bye Parties

Due to going out of town for my high school reunion, I neglected to post pictures of a party in my honor hosted by Maryanne Annan on May 19. Marla created a short video of my life. Guests were from MAM (Martini a Month) group and Havasupai Hiking group. It was a fun time. I'm so lucky to have so many wonderful girl friends and will miss them very much.

CHEERS!


MAM ladies gave me two beautiful martini glasses while the Havasupai group gave me Route 66 salt and pepper shakers from our fun night in Seligman. Thank you, Ladies.
