Sue reports that she went on a bus trip in early Jan. with the community center to see the Federal Reserve Bldg. That was very interesting to say the least for her. The bus had to pull up through a bldg. with the folks aboard and be checked for bombs and etc. before they could enter the bldg. Then each of the folks had to go through a security check after getting off the bus. There were about 40 folks on the tour and she sure enjoyed it.
Then she went to lunch and to the Transtar facility-another interesting trip. They have a command center like the Space Center but only a lot larger. They have rows and rows of computers, tv's, communication equipment for the people that work in the Houston Transportation Hurricane Center, Police Dept. and etc.
The next trip is going on another day trip with the AARP people to Beaumont to tour St. Anthony's Catholic Cathedral-there are web sites for all of the places she has been and are going to. So be sure and check them out for all information.
Sue is still involved with church, Adult Bible Study, Awana Club for kids, Women Ministry of the church,and etc. She is decorating a table for the Ladies Delight Dinner on Feb. 29th at 7:00p.m. The theme is the Red Hat Society and the colors are purple,red, gold, lavender, and pink. The scripture that represents her table is Titus 2:1-5 regarding the older women setting an example for the younger women. She is having a blast setting up a 60" round table for 8 people and her table is full with guests. She will also be taking trips with the Red Hat Sassy Sexy Ladies and another group the Red Hat Roadrunners. She belongs to two chapters.
The decoration for the table a deep purple satin piece of material will be the tablecloth, then she has 3 styrofoam white heads (will paint gold) with three different red hats on three different heads. In the center is her Western Hat decorated with flowers, a bird, and pins in the front. that represents America with an American flag, a pin with the flag of Texas, a pin with the state of Texas with the colors of the state flag, the red, white and blue ribbon pin that represents God Bless America, in the center is her Red Hat pin in the State of Texas in the colors for the Red Hatters, Below there is another pin that says Texas (The Friendship State).
On the brim of her hat in front she put a pin of a gold cross and each side of the gold cross is glued a purple guitar pick that has the words (Pick Jesus) and It is glued to another purple guitar pick that has the scripture Romans 10:13. This is the main centerpiece. On the right of the main hat is a red sun visor for a more casual look on the 2nd head, on the left of the Western hat is a fancy Red Hat with red feathers on it. Around the center hat is a red and purple boas to go around the neck of the head. Then she has one red boa each to go around the necks of the other two hats. She has already printed up her place cards for each guest and the bible scriptures pertaining to the theme to give them as a gift.
Sue's husband, John said he didn't mind her getting involved with all of the activities as he knows she is a people person and he is a home body. He told her "if it makes you happy-it makes him happy too!"
Thanks for the update Sue and keep us posted to other things you are doing. Keep walking with John on the treadmill. It will surely make you both feel better.
