We have had a busy month or so. I went to Spokane for their once every three year Red Hat Convergence. It was great fun. In fact, it may have been the best that I have gone to.
Friday night was "Hippie Night." We were all about tye die and peace for that night and the entertainment was a lady stand-up comic that made me laugh until my face hurt.
Saturday, we spent in downtown Spokane. We went on a tour of the remodeled Davenport Hotel. It is a beautiful place full of history and ghosts. We enjoyed a lunch there and then managed to see a room and the pool room in the basement. Some of us put our feet in the pool just because we could. We wondered the rooftop gardens and we flirted with our gorgeous tour man. When we left the Davenport, we did some shopping at the downtown mall. Hat hatters have to get in some of their favorite sport. Saturday evening was a Victorian dress and dinner with superb entertainment. Some of the local lady red hats, put together a Laugh In Skit that was so nostalgic and well done. The group of singers (three guys) were really good with some of the old songs we all love to remember. They were also good at putting in polical satire stanzas to keep us laughing.
Sunday was the wrap-up event with a pj breakfast and more singing and laughing. My Red Hat friends are the best!!
We all went up the Hidden Springs for lunch in September and that was a great time. Again, I am so greatful for my lady friends.

Victorian Tea
Kirsten, Avery and I enjoyed a Victorian Tea put on by the Daughters of the British Empire. Avery liked it even better than going to lunch with the red hatters. It wasn't really a red hat event, but red hats are what I have. It is just nice doing stuff with my girls.
Avery is liking kindergarten, of course. Grandpa proudly struts her to school every morning and grandma collects her after school. Family was here for a few days and Jason and Michele enjoyed walking her as well. Such a big girl! Family is so precious and I just don't always treat my family with the kid gloves that I should.
I have been sick with a cold or some bug for the past week. I keep thinking I am getting better and then I get out of bed with a clogged nose and head. I even had a bit of a tummy thing going on last night and this morning.
The weather has turned cool and rainy for the past few days. I guess fall has arrived. We can see snow on the mountains.
Until next time...
