We're Here for the Boo's! - October 25, 2016

So glad Christy didn't use this costume to scare us!

On Tuesday, October 25th, Christy hosted the Women Who Wine for a Halloween party. Ten ladies were able to attend this evening event. And yes, we loved seeing the house lit up at night!

After days, weeks (!) of decorating, Christy's house is to die for! The pictures do not do the Halloween decorations justice but here are a few...

Living Room - Right

Dining Room

All treats, no tricks!

 While sinking our teeth into tasty treats, Christy had everyone guess the number of candy corn in a (what else?) wine glass. There were 166 candies with Daryl coming the closest with a guess of 156.

The evening was cool enough to enjoy sitting outside for a couple of games of "Mr. and Mrs. Right". Christy had us guessing which end was up by the end!

Cathy wins a prize!

Amen sister!

The "Camping" Episode - Friday, October 7, 2016

"While camping in the wilderness, keep in mind that the only thing
between you and adversity is a zipper and a thin strip of fabric."
Comforting to know!

On Friday, October 7, Vicky arranged an outdoor adventure in Madera Canyon. Eleven ladies were able to join for campfire grilled hot dogs, s'mores, assorted salads and, of course, wine!

While not as luxurious as this little camper, we had plenty to eat and drink!

LtoR - Connie and Christy.
Way to color coordinate the shades, ladies!

LtoR - Vicky, Christy and Carole
A big thank you to Vicky, our hostess and chief cook!

LtoR - Debbie, Daryl and Kelly
Under the shade of the "yum yum" tree.

LtoR - Connie and Ruth (standing)
What are they up to?!

LtoR - Ruth, Connie, Susie, Vicky and Christy
Looks like a VERY deep discussion. Can't be politics, they're still smiling!

LtoR - Debbie, Daryl, Carole, Ruth, Vicky, Pam and Kelly
A goodly part of the gang!

LtoR - Carole, Pam and Christy
More s'mores, please!

Cathy is in a sticky situation.
Don't mess with her though, look at the size of her, um, pitchfork!

Fortunately we didn't run into this guy!
We've heard he's been attempting to inspect hiker's picnic baskets in Madera Canyon.
We were just as happy to bypass the inspection!

And finally...(eek!)

Isn’t everyone?” ~ Kathy Griffin
