If you, or any of your friends, would like to leave comments about this website, please visit the PASSION PIT, our version of a guestbook.

New pictures will be uploaded within the next few days. Information for 2009 luncheons will be posted as soon as I get any details.

Remember -- if you would like to be a duchesses or plan any other events, just contact the Queen Mothers. Let your imagination run wild!! Maybe you want to plan an afternoon a movie matinee followed by Happy Hour at Applebee's (appetizers are half off during the week!) Maybe a night out at to see Lucky Enough at the Elks Club or catch the show at the American Mountain Theater? You could plan a trip to Lambert's winery in Weston, the outlet malls in Flatwoods, a show in Morgantown. How about a trip to the spa in Clarksburg, or high tea at the Greenbrier? In the northern panhandle there are Christmas lights at Oglebay or the Fiesta museum and outlet. The possibilities for fun are limitless. Put your thinking caps on gals!!!

HAPPY EARLY THANKSGIVING! I hope everyone enjoyed the turkey dinner at Duke's this week. It never hurts to start celebrating early.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW QUEENS, GAYLE ZIRKLE and EVELYN WARNER on their recent coronation at the August luncheon held at the Elkins Motor Lodge. I am sure Gayle and Evelyn will have a wonderful reign and bring lots of excitement to the group. Pictures have been uploaded from the big day. Check them out here.

PLEASE NOTE: Dowager Queen Susie will be taking reservations for both the September luncheon and the September Pajama Breakfast. I will let you know when this changes to the new queens.

Deepest sympathies go out to EPM member Roberta McNemar and family. Roberta's husband, Don, recently passed away. We have missed you at our luncheonns Roberta and all our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know that we love you and if there is anything we can do for you just let us know.

Photos have been uploaded for the July lunch at Leading Creek Fire Dept. Click here to view.

Get well wishes also go out to Dowager Queens JoAnn and Sharon. JoAnn pulled a hamstring and Sharon has an eye infection. Must have been too much partying for them ;-) or climbing up on that fire truck at last week's luncheon!!

Hope everyone stays dry for the next few days. Lots of rain is expected due to Hurricane Dolly in the Gulf. At least we won't have to worry about watering our gardens for a while.

July 13, 2008

All photos in the picture gallery are now up to date. I have uploaded or updated all information that I currently have, that includes pictures, calendar, lunch details, and anything else. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I have been very busy working on the landscaping outside, as usual. We finally got our garden in the ground also. Hopefully in a few months we will have some peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, beans, squash, zucchini, cauliflower, cucumbers, onions, and gourds. If everything grows you will see me at the Farmers Market because we won't be able to eat it all! At least I put landscape tarp down in between rows so I don't have to hoe. That will save me lots of time. And thanks to Mother Nature, I have not had to water it on my own too much. Have a great summer!!

I still need pictures for the luncheons in January and May. If you have picture you would like to share with the chapter, please contact the REDMASTER. Pictures are best given to me on CD disc.

August lunch details have been posted at right. New pictures will be posted soon. One of my dogs tore a ligament a few weeks ago and had to have leg surgery this week to repair it so that has put a kink in a few things around here. Hopefully he is on the mend but Mom and I will have to work with him therapy-wise for the next month or two. It's always something isn't it!

So glad to hear that Jackie & Bob Bright had such a lovely 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration!! The Adaland lunch was a big hit also. It's so nice to get out and celebrate with friends on these nice summer days.

I have some good news to report myself. My sister is going to have another baby come end of January :-) Yep!! little Emma is going to get a baby sister or brother and Dowager Queen Sharon will be grandma once again. Hope everyone is having a good summer.

REMINDER!
