The ladies are Me, my oldest friend Sue, Babs in the back ground, Mum in the black and tan, then Marg my other best friend and Christine (my old bosses wife). It was a great day.

Lovely picture. I knew they would love the luncheon and the gifts. You put forth a great effort to make it prefect. Congrats to you on a great job, well done. Hugs Lynn

great the ladies were all so pleased and happy! thanks for sharing.

Chris, thanks so much for sharing - Hugs Yvonne

What a wonderful thing for you to do each year. They look pleased and your table is beautiful.;)

What a nice picture lovely group a friends looks like you have good time of course MERRY CHRISMAS!

Chris, can't wait to see what you come up with for next year - I am sure it will be fun and elegant. You did a great job with this year's and the pictures from last were wonderful, too. thank you for sharing this project with us. *4U

Well I hope it did not literally go with a bang. The picture looks as if you were all enjoying yourselves. Such gatherings are great fun and there is plenty of time to think about next years theme. Your grandson will be one by then...

You can see they are a bunch of happy ladies. Does it have to do with the weather? May you all now enjoy a happy festive season

Ok, that's it, I'm moving to Australia!! First, I want to be invited to this luncheon next year. And second, I want to be as well-preserved as all your older ladies are!!! Chris, I can't believe your Mum is 75! Before I read the caption, I figured, oh, that has to be Chris's sister. What's her (their, her friend is gorgeous, too!) secret? Is it Kangaroo-hugging, or exotic crocodile oil or something? Hee hee hee, must be something peculiarly Aussie, I think. I saw the pictures in Projects, too, your theme and decorations were just gorgeous, well done!!! Hugs, Marji

Chris the pic is teriffic. U look a lot like your mom & u right, your mom does not look her age. I'm glad u had a great time & took the time to share it with us. Lillian

Chris, what a precious picture! I'm glad you ladies had a wonderful day! You ladies look very young, and I agree with you, keep out of the sun, it is too bad for your skin.
Love,

That is a great picture of all! I knew everyone would have a great time. You are a very gracious hostess! The table was set for royality and I am sure you made them feel that way. It is wonderful to have such good friends and family close by you. Since I moved I feel very alone most of the time. I do not get around well enough to get out and so the social scene. I will be so very glad when my right leg heals so I can move back home, that is if I am still able to get around. It seems like it has been forever since I felt good enough to want to go on any outings. My body is alot more comfortable at home. I also find it hard to leave my girls for very long at the time. Little Miss Bebe is not doing very well and I know it is just a matter of time before she leaves me. My 4 yr old did not come from the same stock as Bebe. There is nothing calm about her. She is a little tornado going through the house! Don't get me wrong; she is very smart and behaves very well except for being jealous but they do not fight. Bebe just lets her have what she wants! Patty actually minds better than Bebe but I think Bebe has lost some of her hearing. The only problem I have with Patty is that if I am not careful when I open the door, she goes straight outside. My girls do not go out for anything without a leash because of the traffic. My new neighbors just lost their huge dog to the traffic. We are talking about the dog my son called a horse. He was as big as a smaller deer. Bebe took a liking to him the first time they met and she was not as big as his head! He was very gentle around her. Patty was terrified of him! I don't live too far a very busy 4 lane highway. This is a surburb of Atlanta and traffic is what we are most known for!

I am so glad the luncheon was a big hit with everyone but of course, I knew it would be! You put all of your effort into making it a grand occasion! I look forward to the next one! Linda

Very nice Chris looks like everyone had fun.
