On December 1, sixteen ladies enjoyed nice weather and shopping in Jacksonville. The whole town is decorated in the Victorian Christmas theme and looked beautiful. The shop owners were very happy to see us and most, if not all of us came away with some great Christmas gifts. We had a wonderful lunch at Bella Union. This is a favorite restaurant for many of us and we were not disappointed in the least. For those who were not “shopped out” there was more shopping after lunch. (Others probably went home for nap after a great meal!)
