As planned, Vickie picked me up at 12:45 and off we went to the anniversary party. It was a lot of fun--about thirty people came, many of whom I had met three years ago at Lewis'es birthday party . Here are the host and hostess, Lewis and Sharon:
Vickie and I had put together to get a large cheese/vegetable platter with dip and there was an enormous amount of other food, all delicious. It included ribs, fried chicken, spaghetti and meat sauce, vegetables, macaroni and cheese, and more. For dessert, there was cake, pie, and cookies; for drinks, soda, iced tee, wine, and beer. And oh, yes, I ate too much!
Here's Chausis, one of the sons.
Guests included my friend, Cheryl, who picks me up for Soaring Spirits; Sharn's sister-in-law, Deena, who came frolm Phoenix; and Chery's husband, George, active in Veterans for Peace.
After we said goodbye. Vickie asked if I'd like to see her new home, to which she'll move on December 14 and sure I would. It's veterans' apartments and isn't far from The Orchard. The complex is only three years old, in a nice rural area with lovely views. One bedroom, one bath, and a full kitchen. It will save her a lot of money, as she pays amost three thousand at SoFi, a rediculous amount for a modest place.
When I got back to my place, it was after 5:00. I could have gone to dinner, but was so stuffed from the party, I didn't bother. Settled in for the night and slept well.
Ellen called to say she'll bring over the invitations today. That's okay, but she could wait until later. I slept well and just got up at--gadsooks!--nine o'clock!
