"Memories"

Have you ever watched the women stars on TV walk the red carpet in their fancy gowns?   Then  reporters give their commentaries on who they thought was the worst & best dressed for the evening.  Well, you might want to give your own commentary on my worst & best picture of me in this collage.  I am curious to see if you match up with my list.  

These 10 pictures share some of my wonderful memories that I have 

made in Highlands.  

                           {Start at the upper left corner & go across.}

1.  The first two years in Highlands, I had the privilege in directing the Community Bible Church children's choir.   This was such a special group.  These kids are all grown-up and the oldest ones are in college.  It has been a joy to see these young people not only to grow physically, but to see them use their God given gifts & talents for the Lord.

2.  BUNKO!!!  Have you ever played this game.  It was so much fun.  I played Bunko for 8 out of the 9 1/2 yrs that I have been here.  It was a great time of fellowship once a month with all different ages of women.  We had great food, many laughs, much bonding & gain a little money.  I was called the Bunko Queen.

6.  Before I turned 50 yrs old I was the first member of this Red Hats Club in Highlands.  Because I was under 50 yrs I got to wear a pink hat & lavender clothes.   I loved being the baby of the group.

3.  Now, you see me in a red hat.  Why the change?  I turned 50 yrs old.  Any one 50 & over would wear a red hat & purple clothes.  We had fun going to plays, eating out, etc...  I am riding in the  Highlands Christmas Parade.  By this time, I had become the Queen of the group.  I don't know if you can see my crown on my red hat & holding my scepter.

4.  Clogging.  This was my favorite exercise that I have ever done in my entire life.  I hate any type of exercise, but this was a blast.   I love the music, the fellow cloggers, & of course the dancing.

5.  My faith in the Lord, my church {& my family} are the central theme of my life

7.  This was one of my "What was I thinking" moments.  I wish I could remember what I called myself.  I had two other "ladies", I use that word loosely, who sang & entertained with me.  We did this act for a women's fund raiser at church & for the Women's Retreat.

10.  Every year our church has a Women's Retreat.  This is such an anointed time.  The lady in charge is a dear friend.  Each works on it all year along & it shows!!!  It is a great time to really get to know women & grow in the Lord.  Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

8.  I taught Sunday School for about 2 yr.  The age range was 2 yrs old to 6 yrs old.  It was challenging & the children were precious.  

9.  Hiking the Appalachian Trail.  Beautiful scenery.

 I'm so thankful that I didn't miss these wonderful opportunities to get involved.

I'm blessed. 

Now, the million dollar question.  What did you pick as my worst & best picture?

I picked #7 as by best & #2 as my worst?
