Just when we are finishing up our afternoon activities, Gill called to invite us to the Mitchell's for a glass of wine and smoked salmon appetizers. Gill invited herself but brought the wine while Mary contributed the food. It was just the thing. After all, we had not seen each other for two days!!
Spur of the moment events are delightful. The unexpected nature of the event seems to add an extra charm. We chatted for almost an hour, catching up on the latest developments in Liverpool. Then, home for our dinner of steak, which we purchased from the caterer in Brooklyn. Mitchell's business was new in town three years ago when he cooked many meals for us over our 50th anniversary, so we spontaneously stopped to say hello to him while coming home from the cottage. Mitchell is doing very well and is as busy as a bee. He was pleased to see us too although I was sorry to hear that he is too busy to cater parties on short notice.
It is one of the nicest things about living in a small community. You don't need to plan so far ahead. You can be spontaneous except you can't hire the caterer.
