Hi Ladies,
I have not forgotten about us having a fun time. There are many shopping establishments just a short walk away. I will list a few: Christmas World Store, Plaid Sheep Quilt Shop, Craft Mall, Antique Mall, and a few other unique shops. I have also reserved a Ladies Room for us at the hotel. Bring your favorite game or other fun thing you might want to share or just sit and chat. There is a beautiful patio we can enjoy. Trying for a couple of other events at a slight cost.
I will keep you informed. My email is messarosbarbara@gmail.com or cell 216-469-5155.
See you in Austin, Texas 2022
