Changes to tree and bunny

Unfortunately our memosa tree in the back yard has bores that are eating it inside and weakening the limbs, so it was time to have it cut down.

Without leaves it's difficult to see our dead tree in front.

It only took minutes to cut down the big limbs hopefully landing in our yard

Brave young man climbed the tree to cut down the limbs

We're surrounded by  neighbors so it was good the branches came
down in our yard...

There's not much tree left to stand on, but he's up there

The stump after the branches were cut down...

Our view now the neighbor's tree which has room to keep growing.

Our ceramic bunny took a hit-never to be the same again...lol!

The stump, perhaps I'll glue the bunny together and put it here.

Relief Society LUNCH BUNCH

Two parties in one day––that was Dec 1st. Our church group of women met for our monthly Lunch Bunch-good food and lots of friendship. We had our larger group ever-43 in all.

I actually got in the photo for a change with my friends

christmas decorations are already up in Hank's Grill

Lots of happy people developing new  friendships

On the left is Cathy Young-our enthusiastic RS President \

Eating lots of yummy food from fish tacos to BBQ ribs

We had to add an extra table to seat all our participants today.

Standing is Wanda Bublik-a past RS president

We certainly kept our two waitresses and the cooks busy...

Eating and talking two of women's favorite activities filled our time
