Last night as I sat in the dark in the middle of the road looking up at the beautiful clear sky with the moon and stars shining, it was amazing to think that you at home could see the same thing with your eyes. Now as it was cold at home, and you probably were not sitting outside, I have to assume that none of you saw the same scene. Now don't worry that I am getting senile and I just sit in the middle of the road looking at the stars....there is an explanation. We were invited to a block party at the end of the curve where about 25 of the neighbours gathered with lawn chairs and visited and ate wonderful appetizers, drank what ever they bought to imbibe, and then as it cooled off they lit the fire pits and started the tall propane heaters, and then we had chili and corn bread. This has been a tradition through the years but a different couple in that same corner used to host it....Nancy and Charlie . They used to serve Hobo Stew where every one brings something and you throw it all together in a pot and cook it. It was always good they said and one time some one brought a can of peaches and they even threw that into the stew. Last Monday Charlie died , but Nancy still insisted it went on, so another couple hosted it. Nancy was there with her cute little young pup....an adorable little dog that I held on my lap and fed him some of my Grape Cooler.....he loved it but had to go home early as he was tired it seemed.
Before you imagine this group of senior partyiers being crazy all night...NOT... the party started at 4 pm and by 6:30 most were yawning and headed home...We were one of the late ones and we didn't get home until 7 pm.....ha ha...... I was in bed and asleep by 9 pm ...yes we are absorbing la la land very well.
Today is New Years brunch at the Club House . Eggs in a bag, Mimosa, breads, Coffee and I am not sure what else.... I will try to get a picture for tomorrow......
