From pg. 8 Heidenscheidt. Pin cushions and other sewing notions decorated the table. “Denim Dazzler” by Jane Simms and Karen Gerlach featured all shades of blue.

“Aloha,” featuring pink flamingoes in various forms, was designed by Jana Fleming and Vicki Okeson. More outdoor themes included “On the Beach” with a marine decorated tablecloth and a display of beach flip-flops by Pat Carey and Anne Westgate. Another outdoor table by Jo Anne Procek and Karen Goer, featured a display of “Lighthouses.” “Camping” was the theme used by Norma Forrest and Mary Goodwin, who displayed miniature campers on a red and white picnic cloth. “Wildflowers” was the theme used by Sandy Funk, while Mary Virginia Gerlach and Kathy Brown also used wildflowers in their “Springtime Magic” theme. Following the browsing the ladies enjoyed a chicken luncheon catered by Balli’s of Mission. Jan Bergman, Exalted Queen Mother of The Rio Grande Valley, led a short meeting before introducing the entertainment. Pianist Jason Whorlow and his two daughters, Brianna and Amelia, entertained. Jason played the music of Elton John, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Johnny Cash and others. He also played and sang a special song he created for the Red Hat Ladies. His two daughters each sang two solos, sometimes walking the floor as they sang. potluck dinner involved.

From there I went to a jam at Casa Del Valle. It was a beautiful tribute to a man that brought music to several parks and made jams better for many involved.

I also had the chance to attend the Red Hatters Festival of Tables. It was so much fun to visit with this wonderful group of ladies.

I saw people I haven’t seen in years and some I have known for over 30 years – oops, kind of showing my age there (and theirs!).

I might just become a Red Hatter so I can hang out with these ladies more often.

We attended a gospel music fundraiser event on Sunday at Mission Bell. This filled our souls and made us realize how blessed we are with the community we serve.

The Wintertainers™ included some local jammers, the Whosoever’s, Dave and Daphne, Rusty Rierson, Mountain Highway, Jamie Layton, and Justin Terry. They shared their testimonies and talents with beautiful music of worship.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
