The decor at the Richardson Women’s Club is classic and beautiful. Their brochure describes the home as “a country estate for meetings and celebrations”. The clubhouse was built in the 1930’s as a private country home. It has been renovated and expanded several times. In 1969, the City of Richardson obtained the property when they […]
There wasn’t just one Santa. As Ever-Lovin’ would say, There was a “plethora” of Santas visiting the Richardson Women’s Club this week. I was impressed. Tonna has the most wonderful collection of Santas I have ever seen. A little backstory about her collection. Tonna’s sister is the artist and craftswoman of most of the Santas […]
For more Christmas seasons than I can numerate, The Living Stones have had an annual Christmas Party. What memories these parties have generated. This year Tonna used her clout at the Richardson Women’s Club, and we gathered at the clubhouse for a special night of gorgeous decorations, delicious food, the legendary ornament exchange, and enough Santa […]

(Thanksgiving is late this year – or so I hear.) As we entered La Hacienda Ranch, we could not help but notice Mr. Bear Claus. How dapper he looked […]
I am S0-0-0-0 excited. In an earlier post, I mentioned my obsession with certain wreaths. Super Sister came to my rescue. I got an early birthday present today. Super Sister (Who can make and do ANYTHING.) made me a Christmas wreath, and it is the most beautiful wreath ever. Now, I can not wait for […]

A highlight of the Christmas season is when the Grands (grandson, grand nieces and nephew) come for a Christmas Tea.
