One thing always leads to another. First, Dave and Irene drove to Port Mouton to purchase smoked salmon. Next we called our friends the Ely's to join us for a glass of wine and smoked salmon. In residence at the Ely home is five adults and five children so with the four of us and the ten of them, we had the makings of a real party.
The children were perfectly behaved, sitting at the kitchen table for their cocktails and helping themselves to the smoked salmon and cheese and crackers on the dining room table. In between eating and drinking, they played outside on Conner. And they inspected the house, which I thought was interesting. They asked to see upstairs, and when I told them "yes", up they went to check out every room. Only once did someone jump off the top bunk.
It was a lovely, casual cocktail hour. The Ely family are like part of our own family, we know them all so well and enjoy them so much. It is lovely to have good friends as neighbors, so we can have a cocktail party with short notice. And in addition to the company, the smoked salmon was delicious!!
