Perennial Favorite

I met Karen today as she was leaving the Wollaston Garden Club's annual holiday greens sale. She graciously stopped and let me take her picture. She told me that she has been a follower of QDP and that her house was one of this blog's featured old houses on Thursdays . . . what fun!

The second photo below is a good overview of this very successful annual event. The Wollaston Garden Club not only gets me into the spirit but also takes the proceeds from this event and gives back to the community by landscaping and planting beautiful areas all around Quincy for everyone to enjoy. Lady Bird Johnson must be smiling. Thank you, and Happy Holidays WGG!

The best spring car wash in Quincy was held this past Saturday. The proceeds of this annual fund raiser benefits the Quincy High School Tennis Team, "The Presidents". For $4-$5 your car gets really clean and the team get new tennis bags and uniforms. It's a win, win for everyone.

I like the towels hanging on the railings to dry in the 40ish F air. Brrrrr! Imagine what it's like on the tennis courts??
