Carole’s Christmas Coffee Morning
Many Ranches Ladies enjoyed a lovely Christmas Party at Carole’s place in Savannah last Tuesday. The house was so beautifully decorated and Carole brought out her Christmas collection and beautiful crockery. The garden was also radiant at this time of year. All the ladies who came brought yummy food and made the morning very special. A big thank you to Carole for her warmth and hospitality, and all the effort with which she celebrates Christmas with us. 😊❤️🎉
