It always happens. Just when we are about to leave town, friends invite us for dinner. It is really very nice but it means we are out every evening. It happens in Nova Scotia too. Friends know we are leaving in a few days and they know we will be away for many months, so they want to meet and talk and enjoy each other before we once again disappear. Our schedule was such that we were in Mississippi almost all of March and for two more weeks just recently now but the invitations have all come at once.
This evening we had dinner at the home of Linda, Christina's mother. We were all there. Molly swam in the very chilly water before dinner while we nibbled on crackers and cheese on the back porch. Dinner was spaghetti and salad and hot bread. Ice cream and brownies for desert. Ken and I chatted with Linda for an hour after the family left, which was a treat. We always see her in the big group. Linda is amazing to us with her recollection of our friends that she has met over the years. And she is actually interested with the people and places we visit. Ken and I enjoyed the company and all the efforts taken by Linda on our behalf. She is about to get a new puppy so the next time we see her she will have a pup. Her home is lovely but is too big by herself. She needs a dog. It will be an adventure for her and her family and guests. We wish her well.
