Met Lora at 9:00 at Starbucks and we got bagels and coffee, then ate in her car. And talked. And talked. And it was so good. She has some major family problems, I have some fairly minor personal concerns (who doesn't?) and it was so good to talk frankly with somebody compatible. At 68, Lora could be my daughter, but we've developed a close friendship and can confide in each other freely. She gave me a pretty candle for my birthday; hers is in June and I'll be sure to commemorate it.
She had to go to Michael's after and I went along, looking for loose-leaf hole reinforcements, but they had none. We stopped The Market next and both picked up some items. After we said goodbye (with many expressions of affection and wishes for a nice holiday), I walked the block to Wal-Mart and finally, at long last, found loose-leaf hole reinforcements. Bused home, had lunch, showered, then took a 45-minute nap.
Jim arrived about 5:15,, Suzanne came out, and Vickie strolled over, bringing me a birthday gift, and the four of us drove to the Townehouse. It was, of course, festively arrayed; I especially liked the entrance:

Rosemary,
Was there a fee to go to the Christmas celebration? Probably not if it’s a marketing event? Sometimes we do lunches free, in fact, I don’t think we ever charge. How about The townhouse?
No, Pat, there's never a fee. Naturally--and it's a good marketing strategy--when something becomes familiar, it's more attractive. Whether I can afford the hefty cost for a one-bedroom is the question. I know I can for the studio, but I don't want to live in one room. Also, I have other possibilities which my daughters have tentatively suggested, but we'll see. In the meantime, I enjoy attending Townehouse affairs and bringing my friends, too. BTW, I'm pondering whether I want to propose my Acting for Amateurs course there. I'd charge a fee, of course, but do I really want to make that commitment?
