It's Fun Friday...

What a wonderful way to spend a Friday. It all started with flowers from my honey for no reason at all. Now we have a garden profuse with roses and gardenias and flowers of all sizes, shapes and colors but these...these are so pretty!




And this is was off to the 1st Annual "Every Child Counts" Chari-Tea held to benefit Community Pride Child Care, Inc. This 50 year old child care center has worked hard to provide (in their words)"quality child development and supportive services for families of children ages 2 months to 6 years who have been exposed to poverty, prejudice, homelessness and violence" Becky DeLay was the one who invited me to attend and with whom I took a tour of the facilities last month. This is one of the best run organizations I have seen. This group deserves the support of the community that it so richly services.



Small world that it is I met my neighbor four doors down from us at the luncheon. Who knew she and I both shared Becky as a friend? We just met this gal who serves on our board of directors at the recent neighborhood garage sale. Guess we didn't recognize each other all cleaned up...lol.


10 Connects News Anchor, Reginald Roundtree, was the emcee for the event and did an excellent job. There were several guest speakers who contributed to the importance of sustaining the child care center and supporting the work it does.



After the luncheon, I met Kristen at Babies R Us to pick up her bedding for the twins room...cute cute Jungle themed curtains, comoforters, sheets, bumper pads and diaper holders. And boy oh boy, did those gcs from her staff sure come in handy.

On my way home from shopping with Kristen, I called E and we made a date to meet at Santorini's on the Anclote River...soon to be known as Dimitri's on the Water. We love sitting out on the back deck and watching the boats (and the afternoon) drift by. This is fast becoming one of our favorite places for a late afternoon libation.



Chimichurri Steak and asparagus on the grill for supper and our day is complete. Hope you are having a great Friday too.
