Christmas Treasure Hunting

It's time for our annual Christmas Treasure Hunt!!!

We head out for brunching, and treasure hunting

for decorating our homes and for presents.

I have the best group of friends, we have had

several names over the years, The Lunch Bunch,

The Bling Bunch, and the Fab Five.

As you can see, we like bling - hence the name Bling Bunch.

And we like eating before or after - hence the name Lunch Bunch.

We love to do it any time of year, but right now, it 

is time for Christmas treasure hunting.

We head to Salt Lake, making sure that

we have a big enough car to carry home

all of our treasures.

 (Maybe we need two cars!)

But what would be the fun of that!

We have been neighbors for 30 plus years,

although a couple have moved away, but we

have continued our friendships.

And yes we have hubbies, and we all get along

with the hubbies too.

They love to eat too.

Any time of year,

and anywhere!

We went down to St. George and saw the band,

The Fab Four, so that is where we came up

with that name - changing our name to the Fab Five.

We party together!

We all love water!

 We celebrate together!

We vacation together!

(Including hubbies!)

We entertain at each other's homes.

 And we celebrate marriages and babies of our

children. 

Of all the treasures we have found shopping, 

none are more valuable than our friendships!

Our usual Christmas treasure hunting has consisted

of heading to Salt Lake early in the morning and

having breakfast at the Grand America, then heading

off to Trader Joe's, Tai Pan, Home Goods, and Modern Display.

By then the car is full and we are broke and exhausted, but

well prepared for Christmas!
