May

April delivered it's fair share of showers, and now we are all anxiously awaiting the  May flowers.  Since our last post, we have been busy both indoors and out, preparing for a wonderful spring and summer.  Our most recent photos are posted below...

Tea Time at Fancy That

 

On Thursday, April 23rd a small group loaded the bus for quite possibly the shortest trip ever to Fancy That, an adorable tea house right next door on Main St.  Delicious tea sandwiches among other treats were served alongside a wide variety of tea.

Our weekly Aldridge country rides turned into a city ride recently as Mary led the bus into Blue Hills for a gorgeous view of the city.
