Cherry On Top

My Red Hat group in Texas went on a very interesting outing this past Friday.  Thought I would share with the family.  It was beautiful....

Queen Connie planned and had A great turnout of Leisure World Red Hatters as they enjoyed their outing to the CHERRY ON TOP on Friday, December 21st. Sherri Cherry is the owner of Cherry On Top which is located at 4300 South Bridge, Weslaco, Texas

Do you see WALDO?   Trudy is the 8th from left in back row (SUNGLASSES ON).  Phyllis is sitting down in the middle of the picture.  NO I'M NOT WALDO.... 

The dog got a lot of attention while we were there. He would have laid on his back all day if one of the ladies would stand there and pet his belly...

The roosters all roamed freely and were beautiful...

"Cherry On Top" gift shop was very interesting, as there were many different gifts to choose from - hams, pies, candies, jellies, and etc. Sherri's signature (trademark) is the "Cherries". Cherries decorating throughout the shop plus every gift going out has a cherry on top...

Owner Sherri Cherry invited the red hatters into her beautiful home which she is preparing for a Christmas family dinner.

The Whistling Ducks were in the hundreds as we enjoyed watching them around the pond.

After enjoying all the great outdoor scenery, we headed for the Olive Garden and enjoyed lunch and exchanged gifts. What a great day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE DE JOODE BUNCH

It’s Christmas Time

Put your problems on probation

Run your troubles off the track,

Throw your worries out the window

Get the monkeys off your back.

Silence all your inner critics

With your conscience make amends,

And allow yourself some happiness

It's Christmas time again!

Call a truce with those who bother you

Let all the fighting cease,

Give your differences a breather

And declare a time of peace,

Don't let angry feelings taint

The precious time you have to spend,

And allow yourself some happiness

It's Christmas time again!

Like some cool refreshing water

Or a gentle summer breeze,

Like a fresh bouquet of flowers

Or the smell of autumn leaves,

It's a banquet for the spirit

Filled with family, food and friends,

So allow yourself some happiness

It's Christmas time again!
