What a wonderful way to celebrate the end of chemotherapy and the beginning of my weight gaining regimen. As I am very late in putting this communique together, I can tell you that I am up to 119 pounds and I have a full head of hair. It feels good to look like myself again. My sweet husband, Doug, was with me and apparently he was behind the camera so much that we only got one photo of him when we met his daughter, Nancy, for lunch and the waitress took that one.</p><p>I am so grateful for being blessed with such a big family. Since we visited there, Samantha is newly married (last October) and Taylor Ann is now engaged, so the grandchildren and great grandchildren are carrying on as nature intended.</p><p>This is all I have to say for now. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>C C Crittendenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156390527195718668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809755174879238631.post-3420248840375434572022-06-16T15:45:00.003-07:002022-06-17T18:17:30.182-07:00Shelly Carns Reduation At Casa de Suenos in Tularosa, New Mexico<div><p> Hello All,</p><p>We had a large group of Red Hatters plus two gentlemen (Carla's husband, Douglas, photographer, and Nancy's husband, Chuck).

Shelly Carns is now officially a Red Hatter, but she now has the task of finding a new Pink Hatter for our chapter. She received many lovely gifts and advice cards from each Red Hatter in attendance.</p><p>Our server, Dominic, took such good care of us and even jumped in and helped Doug take pictures of the event. The food was delicious, as always, at Casa de Suenos. We are never disappointed there.</p><p>This is all I have to say for now.<br /></p><p><br /></p>C C Crittendenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156390527195718668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809755174879238631.post-65605451010583005992022-06-09T14:14:00.001-07:002022-06-17T13:42:44.027-07:00Miss Kitty's Social Club's 10th Annual Hoedown<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixFOiDcmC-PWw1mo18xOE-lKm3ZESQA-ueJMRHwxKTPRRD_npI1hn2kPp_pRw2IjAPg8jWwWi-x873rRTQhoFPBFkg6EG03R9nvKwWtd7v-KibLVLshzY6xznvGH_3OC0xJYFIlyWT2gB4FnF-wtbJflAKENBjCrIZ1hRRiivOlw4Z2yiTMVbyQWDh/s1593/IMG_3929.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1593" data-original-width="1195" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixFOiDcmC-PWw1mo18xOE-lKm3ZESQA-ueJMRHwxKTPRRD_npI1hn2kPp_pRw2IjAPg8jWwWi-x873rRTQhoFPBFkg6EG03R9nvKwWtd7v-KibLVLshzY6xznvGH_3OC0xJYFIlyWT2gB4FnF-wtbJflAKENBjCrIZ1hRRiivOlw4Z2yiTMVbyQWDh/s320/IMG_3929.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times;">Three members of Alamogordo, New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society drove to Colorado Springs, Colorado to celebrate with Miss Kitty's Social Club 10th Annual Hoedown sporting our Red and Purple as they are also an official chapter of the Red Hat Society.

<br />
My friend and sister Red Hatter, Jean Courtier, is also a member of Preceptor Alpha Pi's Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Social Sorority and they held their Sweetheart Dinner Dance at Holloman Air Force Base NCO Club on Friday, February 7, 2020.<br />
<br />
The food was delicious; prime rib (choice of well, medium or rare), baked potatoes w/the works and salad or one could have chicken.<br />
<br />
A DJ provided music for dancing and entertainment. At one point, they crowned two chapter's members as "Sweethearts" and gave them flowers and gifts. It was all quite lovely and we had a grand time. They had a photo booth set up which we gleefully took advantage of.<br />

We had a grand time listening to the music, dining and watching those who could still dance, get out on the dance floor and entertain us.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Jean for inviting us and thanks to Doug for taking and processing the photos.<br />
<br />
I am going to tag onto this a couple of photos from the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society's monthly get together on February 15, 2020 at Carmen Veenpere's home. The event was hosted by Jean Courtier and Carmen. They provided pizza, salad and plenty of dessert for lunch. We played Farkle (a dice game with 6 dice) and there was a lot of laughing going on because we had all forgotten how to play the game. We finally got it together and Jean was the score keeper and Jean won. Carmen gave her a good run for her money as did Karen Townsend.<br />
<br />
I forgot my camera and used my cell phone and my hands are too shaky and only a couple of the pictures were decent enough to print. I do apologize to everyone.<br />

These were the only photos salvaged from my camera in my phone. We actually had 13 people in attendance so it would have been the perfect time for good pictures.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Doug for processing the pictures and thanks to Jean and Carmen for being the hostesses with the mostest. It was lovely.<br />
<br />
This is all I have to say for now.<br />

<br />
We awakened to a fairyland this morning with about two inches of snow in a usually sunny little town. I just had to go out and take some pictures because this is such a rare event here. We usually view the snow on the mountains surrounding us.<br />

<br />
Twelve members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter in Alamogordo, New Mexico gathered at the Friendship Tea House for a lovely tea luncheon. We were actually Barb's first customers when she opened the tea house in January 2018. Barb Frick and her husband Bob make a great team in their kitchen and everything is freshly made and served that day.<br />
<br />
As you will discover looking at the pictures below, this is truly a beautiful setting for a tea. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment, celebrating two birthdays for Vice Queen Alice Evans and Margie Purcella by kazooing Happy Birthday and presenting gifts. There was plenty of time for visiting and enjoying each other's company.<br />

Thanks to Barb for taking the last picture of all of us on her front porch. I heard many nice comments about their experience at this event and the tasty food as well. Thanks to Kimberly for pictures taken around the interior of the tea house. Thanks to Doug Kerr for processing the pictures for my blog. Next month we are going to Carmen's house to play games and eat pizza co-hosted by Jean Courtier.<br />

This is all I have to say for now.C C Crittendenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156390527195718668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809755174879238631.post-62770789140852760762020-01-02T19:50:00.002-08:002020-01-02T22:19:07.963-08:00Linda Barker and Carla Kerr of Alamogordo Explore Bosque del ApacheMonday, December 30, 2019<br />
<br />
Linda Barker and I drove to San Antonio, New Mexico and eight miles beyond to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. This beautiful refuge teems with sandhill cranes, snow geese, Canadian geese, bald eagles, around fifteen species of ducks during Winter months and numerous other birds and animals including bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, mule deer, wild turkey and great blue heron along with northern harriers. At least 25 species of shore birds visit this refuge every spring, including various sandpipers, ibis, stilts, plovers, phalaropes, godwits, dunlins, and curlews.<br />
<br />
There are more than 150 species of cacti and other Chihuahuan Desert plants in the Desert Arboretum. They grow and bloom during the spring months and these prickly plants and their fruit provide shelter for nesting birds and tasty treats for javelina and quail. You will hear the calling of quail and the cooing of roadrunners. Avocets and stilts establish their nesting sites as well.<br />
<br />
In the summer you will enjoy seeing hummingbirds and orioles at the feeders. Black-chinned hummingbirds arrive in the spring and number in the dozens during the summer. Calliope, broad-tailed and rufous hummingbirds arrive later in the summer.<br />
<br />
The Festival of the Cranes, held during the week before Thanksgiving, offers up to 150 workshops, tours, lectures, and hikes over several days. Topics range from cultural history to natural history, photography to astronomy, and expressive arts to birdwatching. The weekend activities are geared toward kids featuring learning activities, exhibits, games and several workshops.<br />
<br />
I noticed many photographers there with lenses on their cameras, some maybe three feet extended. One man was leaning against his truck to help him hold up this heavy lens. I'm sure he shoots some amazing pictures with his apparatus, but I managed, with my small camera, to get some decent shots.<br />
<br />
Linda is retired from the U.S. Forest Service and she is very knowledgeable about plants and animals in the wild. I very much enjoyed her informative comments as we drove along viewing the critters in their comfortable habitat. We weren't lucky enough to see any of the land critters this trip, but I do plan to return in the future. We only had time to complete one of the loops so I'll do the other one next time.<br />
<br />
This is a highly recognized wildlife refuge in the United States and it is well kept and easy to navigate. I highly recommend you visit this place if you are ever in the area. The visitor's center is quite lovely and they have a wonderful gift shop as well.<br />

It was a fabulous trip and I learned a lot about the flora and fauna of New Mexico from my friend, Linda Barker. Thanks for driving, Linda.<br />

<br />
Members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society held their annual Christmas luncheon at Casa de Suenos Restaurant in Tularosa, New Mexico. They played "Pirate" after lunch which is a game where gifts may be taken, but everyone winds up with a gift anyway. They also played a Christmas Trivia Game. Each member received individual miniature paintings of hats created by Queen Ladybird aka Carla Kerr.<br />

As always, everyone had a FUN time interacting with each other and adding to our stories. We made some tentative plans for 2020 and will start the New Year off with a visit to one of "Barb's Tea Parties" for a tea party luncheon in mid January.<br />
<br />
Thanks to whomever took my picture and to Doug for processing the pictures. Happy New Year everyone!<br />

<br />
C C Crittenden aka Carla C Kerr held a book signing for the long awaited third book of her trilogy "Cherokee Adventures," Book 1: Linnie and Aaron; Book 2: Ft. Gibson at Last and Book 3: John Crittenden.<br />
<br />
The books are fictional historical novels depicting the lives of her Great Great Grandparents Linnie and Aaron Crittenden and of her Great Grandfather John Crittenden. It took ten years to complete the trilogy due to various events including a move from Texas to New Mexico and a year of debilitating illness.<br />
<br />
The book signing was held at Patrons Hall and was very successful. Carla talked a short time about how she came to write these books for young people ages 12-16 and how many of her lady friends had pushed her to complete the series because they wanted to know what happened next.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all who came and bought books and especially to Kim Gugliotta for assisting. Also to Doug Kerr for his assistance and photography.<br />

Doug and I decided to have Thanksgiving Dinner at the 19th Hole at the Municipal Golf Course in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Not wanting to dine by ourselves, we invited some friends to join us. Others enjoying the great food were Kimberly and Tim Gugliotta, Trudy Reese and Gail Swineford. Doug took a few pictures to commemorate the occasion.<br />

We had a grand time and the food was plentiful and quite good. Still not like home cooked, but who's complaining? It's always wonderful to get together with dear friends over the holidays.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Doug for taking the pictures except for the one I took of him.<br />

<br />
Alamogordo, New Mexico members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society attended the annual Flickinger Turquoise and Silver Tea at the Tays Center. This event is looked forward to by many each year judging by the crowd that gathered for tea and all sorts of tea goodies as well as a fashion show, entertainment by a country/western couple, a gospel quartet and identical twin belly dancers. There was something for everyone and while all of this was happening, the MC was calling numbers for door prize winners and a Silent Auction was also taking place. There was even an little photography studio set up with lights and backdrop for taking your own pictures. I do believe they thought of everything.<br />
<br />
This is the Flickinger Guild's big fundraiser for the year to support the arts in Alamogordo and they are vital to the arts program here.<br />
<br />
I did manage to find a couple of things I couldn't live without at the Silent Auction. Our chapter had a couple of guests; Rosanna Heath brought her daughter Debbie Kruse, and a prospective Pink Hatter, Shelly Carns came to play with us for the second time. I am thrilled to say she has joined our chapter so we now boast of having two Pink Hatters. Others in attendance were Jan Bond, Trudy Reese, Gail Swineford, Dorothy Edwards, Kimberly Gugliotta, Nadia Sikes, Alice Cuevas and Carla Kerr. Some were either ill, had out-of-town company or were traveling so they really missed a grand event.<br />

We can't wait until next year to see what they come up with. This is always looked forward to by not only the women in Alamogordo, but more men are attending as well.<br />

Thanks to those who took pictures for me and to Douglas A. Kerr for processing the photos.<br />

<br />
Queen Ladybird aka Carla Kerr and Queen Curvy aka Kimberly Gugliotta of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter were guests of Queen Laura Kidwiler of the Sun City Hot Flashes Chapter of the Red Hat Society at their very first "Reduation" ceremony for Mary O Luna. Mary joined the Red Hat Society as a Pink Hatter, a designation for women from ages 21-49. When one reaches their 50th birthday, a Reduation Ceremony takes place at which time they are presented with their first Red Hat. The ceremony was well planned and executed by Queen Laura and her Co-Queen, Shari Coffman. Also in attendance were Queen Kathy Crenshaw (Betty Boop Chapter, El Paso) and Queen Susan Amtillon (Chaparral Butterflies Chapter, Chaparral, NM); <br />
<br />
Mary received many lovely gifts in celebration of her "Reduation" and the food was absolutely delicious to a fault. The owner of Marabosos Tea Shop is a fabulous cook.<br />

<br />
Twelve members and one guest of the Red Hat Society New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter in Alamogordo, New Mexico gathered in the home of Gail Swineford who hostessed a Deli Luncheon/Cupcake Decorating Event assisted by Trudy Reese. Our guest was Shelley and she is seriously considering becoming a Pink Hatter with us. Upon arriving, Trudy presented each of us with aprons she had made, a sure indication that things might get a bit messy with all that frosting being pumped out.<br />
<br />
After our "build your own" deli sandwich, delicious potato salad and iced tea, along with much visiting and laughter, we began decorating cupcakes. Gail provided various colors of tubes of frosting and it was left up to our imaginations to decorate them as we wished. Each was also provided with a small pink flamingo to encourage them to attend RHSPD2020 next August, 2020. The flamingos promptly appeared atop the cupcake creations.<br />
<br />
Our Pink Hatter, Alice Cuevas, was unable to hostess an earlier event and she brought gifts for everyone that she had bought for that occasion. They were small inspirational books on Kindness, Joy, Praise, etc. so everyone went home with nice gifts.<br />

Thursday, September 5 through Monday, September 9, 2019<br />
<br />
Queen Ladybird aka Carla Kerr attended the Southern Kansas Red Hat Society Regional Convention in Wichita, Kansas to take part in their "Hatter's Land of Enchantment" event. Registration actually began on Friday, September 6, 2019 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and vendors opened for business at 10:00 am on this same date. This all took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Airport Hotel in Wichita, Kansas.<br />
<br />
One of the most exciting things was that Debra Granich, CEO of the Red Hat Society, was in attendance taking part in everything. She is also known as Queen Lady Bug.<br />
<br />
When entering the venue area one was greeted by a fabulous "Enchanted Forest" fantasy playground created by Carol Drake and her assistants. It was a truly magical event and I hope my pictures convey to you more than my words can just how much FUN it was for everyone.<br />
<br />
Kudos to Connie Pearl, Chairman of the Steering Committee and her members, Tami Wagner, Lynn Hill and Carol Drake. This group of Red Hatters are super talented and this was their 9th time to host this event. They just get better every year and there seems to be no limit to their imaginations for creating FUN for everyone.<br />
<br />
Friday afternoon from 1-3:00 pm there was a Come and Go Tea Party where everyone could get better acquainted. The DoubleTree provided their famous chocolate chip cookies for the occasion and they were magically delicious. Many ladies came and forgot to GO but it was just too much FUN. At 2:30 pm, Christopher and Banks presented a Fashion Show with some of the Red Hat women being the models.<br />
<br />
Friday evening at 5:45 pm brought the opening ceremony and dinner in the Emerald Ballroom. There was also a Costume Contest with 3 categories including Princess, Woodland Creature and Fairy Tale Character. Yours truly got confused and entered the wrong category, but I still won second place as a princess. We were entertained by Dreamscape 88 featuring Donna Hensley and Dennis Laffoon, an excellent musical duo. Later, there was an Enchanted Land Dance Party with DJ Steve Walsh.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning at 8:00 am we attended a Fairy Land PJ Breakfast where we were entertained by world renowned comedic Magician, Tom Burgoon. He was over the top excellent! Then, they held the Fairy PJ Contest.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I was fortunate enough to meet up with my dear Red Hat friend Elyse Soffer and her chapter members who were attending and spent a lot of our free time together. On Saturday afternoon from 1-3:00 pm, one could enter the Game Show Minute to Win it. I entered and they tied an empty oblong tissue box to my rear end with several ping pong balls in it, and along with others, we had a minute to shake those balls out of the box. I did not win, but it created a lot of laughter.<br />
<br />
Saturday evening was set for the Royal Ball. Four Knights had been commissioned to escort each Chapter Queen in attendance into the ballroom as her name was announced. It was quite impressive. After a delicious steak dinner, the Belle of the Ball contest took place. I was one of the judges for this and it was quite difficult to pick a winner. However, we managed to come to a consensus and a lovely Pink Hatter, Melynie Starr Blackshear, in a fabulous pink ruffled gown was chosen as Belle of the Ball. Later "The Source" band played for dancing the night away.<br />
<br />
On Sunday morning, the Color Guard presented the flags and we recited the Pledge of Allegiance before partaking of a Farewell Breakfast again in the Emerald Ballroom. We were entertained by Four the Cross Gospel Group and they were excellent. At the end, we all made a huge circle around the ballroom and sang "We Are Family" and it was over.<br />
<br />
I must say, I did my share of shopping with the vendors because "Shopping" is the official sport of the Red Hat Society. This was my second time to attend this event and it just got better. I loved every moment and made many new Red Hat friends as well.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Connie and your team. It was a magical, amazing and enchanting weekend.<br />

Ladies, please feel free to tag yourselves and forgive my memory lapses. We had such a marvelous time and I can't wait for the next one in two years.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Douglas A. Kerr for processing the pictures for me and thanks to any of you who were kind enough to take pictures so I could be in some of them.<br />
<br />
This is all I have to say for now.<br />

<br />
It seems that only three of us out of 20 members showed up for this event. However, another one of our members did show up, but the three of us were someplace else. It's the Red Hat way sometimes.<br />
<br />
At any rate, three Red Hatters from Alamogordo, New Mexico, members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society took a day trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico to place some bets on the ponies. First, we had lunch in Billy the Kid's Restaurant and the food was quite tasty.<br />
<br />
We all went home with money in our pockets. I think I only missed winning something in one race the whole day and on the last race of the day, I believe Gail won right around $40.<br />
<br />
I was so busy watching races and running back and forth to the betting windows to bet and collect that I fell down on the job of taking pictures so this is a short article that will prepare you for the next one which is quite long.<br />

It was a FUN outing and as we always say, "Wherever two or more Red Hatters are gathered, there is bound to be laughter and mischief."<br />
<br />

<br />
Members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society feted their Queen Ladybird aka Carla Kerr at a luncheon and birthday party at the Lodge in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. There were also two guests in attendance, Jan Bond and visiting from Texas, Ann Smith.<br />
<br />
I have been telling everyone that I am celebrating my 18th birthday because I've decided to reverse the numbers. Besides, I don't feel a day over 18, well, some days anyway.<br />
<br />
They began the festivities with everyone standing to curtsy to the Queen and to play "Happy Birthday" on their Kazoos. We had a delicious lunch and much laughter and visiting as always.<br />
<br />
Then, it was time for the Queen to open gifts which she really wasn't anticipating. One gift in particular was a bound book of photographs titled "Red Hat Fun" and underneath "New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter" with a photo on the front of several of us including Donna Williams who was my Vice Queen who is now a Red Hat Angel.<br />
<br />
There is also a photo on the back of the book depicting the cast in a play I wrote titled "The Colors of Living Life" about an imaginary Red Hat Chapter. They were joined in the photo by actual Red Hatters who were in attendance at the Rohovec Theatre located on the New Mexico State University-Alamogordo campus where the play was performed. There are just so many memories in this lovely book to cherish! It was created by member Trudy Reese especially for my birthday.<br />

<br />
Carla and Douglas Kerr drove to Santa Fe, New Mexico to spend the weekend of June 27-29, 2019 as an extension of celebrating their 20th Wedding Anniversary to see La Boheme at the Santa Fe Opera on Friday evening, June 28, 2019. We stopped at Clines Corner on the way up for lunch, but have vowed to never stop there again. We had to fight the flies off to eat our lunch and we were inside the restaurant. While there, I did manage to get a photo of the Barn Swallows feeding their young in the nest.<br />

On Friday, June 28, 2019 during the day, we drove to Madrid, New Mexico, a thriving artist colony about 20 miles southwest of Santa Fe. Madrid was an old mining ghost town that was taken over by artists, about 50 of them who revived the town. The Mine Shaft Tavern is a restaurant, a museum and an outdoor dining area called the Cantina all in one building connected by what they call the "Mine Shaft". Nothing was open when we first arrived so we drove back down Highway 14 to various artists homes and took pictures of their creations.<br />

Photography is not allowed during actual performances so Doug was lucky to grab what shots he could at the proper times.<br />
<br />
The performances were magnificent and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing La Boheme once again. It is our favorite Puccini opera. We had the pleasure of being "supernumeraries" in La Boheme in the Dallas Opera production some years ago. We were both in the second act and I was also in the third act. What great fun that was.<br />
<br />
When we finally got to our car via shuttle to the lower parking lot, it was completely dead. Evidently, Doug had not completely turned the ignition off and it ran the battery down. We were most fortunate in that two young men who are parking lot attendants came to our rescue and used our jumper cables to start the car.<br />
<br />
After a good nights sleep, we decided to drive back a day early to Alamogordo. On the way we came through the tiny town of Duran (not a ghost town because 35 people still live there) and noticed this unusual old building so we stopped and Doug took a picture of it. When we got home he investigated the history of the building and it turned out to be quite interesting.<br />

The badly faded lettering above the doors reads: "Dry Goods Furniture Hardware Grocery & Feeds". It is built of buff colored sandstone marbled with white. This building was owned by Anton. J. Coury, a man of Lebanese decent, who lived with his wife, Raffa, and their children, Fred, Anna, and Emma in the upstairs hotel. On September 3, 1921, the store was robbed by five men and Mr. Coury was shot and killed right in front of his family. Raffa was also shot and severely wounded surviving because a potentially lethal bullet struck the metal clasps of her corset and was deflected. Young Freddy bravely drove the thieves away by relentlessly pelting them with canned goods when their gun jammed.<br />
<br />
A search for the killers quickly began and Francisco Vaisa, Isodoro Miranda and Carlos Renteneria were quickly caught. Luis Medrano was caught some time later. The fifth man, Eziquel Machucha, was never caught and believed to have escaped back to Mexico. The prisoners were sentenced to be hung on July 28, 1922, but Vaisa appealed his conviction. On the appointed day, in Estancia, Mrs. Coury and her children observed the other three men being hanged. On April 6, 1923, Vaisa was also hanged in Estancia. He had the distinction of being the 75th and last person to be hanged in New Mexico.<br />
<br />
Mrs. Coury died in 1972 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Fred lived in Albuquerque until his death in 1991. Their daughter, Anna Sandoval lived in Alamogordo until her death in 2004 and Emma lived in Santa Fe until her death in 2006.<br />
