Friday Funnies

When the weather outside is snowy ❄️ and frigid 🥶 one of the best things to do is sit down for a good read. 

That's exactly what Maxine was doing recently at the NH Hudson Senior Center.
Maxine is a valued member of the center. Her attire is selected for the season and/or holidays by other members. Soon, she will be sporting a new outfit for Hearts Day.
She always poses graciously and apparently is undeterred by a photo opp. This time it was Patrick who hammed it up with her for a picture.

We are returning home today from a short getaway to N Conway, NH. We rendezvoused (isn't this a great word?) with long-time friends from our native NJ and also celebrated my birthday. Family members sent some fun gifts which will be featured in a post next week.

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
Spring is coming (eventually) in 42 days

I Love the Maxine photo and Patrick with her is great. She looks nice and comfy for this winter weather. I am happy you were in North Conway having such a good time with friends. It sure is a beautiful place in all seasons! I enjoyed living there, although the winters were just a bit too long for this Florida girl. Still, the view of a snow-capped Mt. Washington was always a thrill to see from many different vantage points around the area. I knew them all and would take people there to see it. One of my favorite statements was, "On a clear day you can see Mt. Washington from here," because it was often covered with clouds and you couldn't see it at all! LOL. Happy Continued Birthday celebration!!

I'm surprised she can read. Those glasses look extremely dark.

Maxine is a lot of fun! It seems to be a thing now to see people walking around in pajama bottoms.
