Ruby Tuesday




This is my next door neighbor, Reta. She's a wonderful neighbor and a great friend. Could you guess that she'll be 89, next month! This year she put up a small tree next to her front door. I snapped this photo, when we went over to play cards at her house last week.

Reta made all the ornaments on her tree and the tree skirt. They're all fantastic.

Ruby Tuesday is hosted by Mary at Work of the Poet go visit all the Ruby people there.

  4. I wouldn't think 89. But she looks younger, and more importantly, dignified and stylish. Probably a fine card player, too! A wonderful neighbor, for sure...

    Reta is an amazing looking 89 year old - bless her heart. Ralph already said 'she is very stylish.'
