For the past three nights, we ate dinner with the Ditto's. Gary and I have worked together since 1981, which is a long time. Politically we are at the opposite end of the spectrum but despite all our differences, we have always been friends. Ten years ago, they purchased a country property right up the road so now we see them in Artemas. First we let them know when we are in town, then they come for the weekend. They always invite us for dinner.
Thursday evening, Gary ate dinner at our house, out on the screen porch. The dinner was ordinary, because I cooked, but the conversation was spirited. Friday, Diana invited us to their home, along with their niece Lacy, who will start her Senior year at Penn. State in the fall. It was interesting talking with her because she is only 19. For the last two years at high school, she attended class at the Junior College so by the time she applied to Penn. State, she was accepted as a Junior. I loved hearing about it. Her goal is to go to medical school. The food was wonderful and the conversation was lively. Diana is a very good cook.
Tonight we were a group of seven at their home, with the addition of two of their boys, Jeff and Ben. Jeff, who is 25, smoked ribs and brought them from the city. They were delicious. Along with the potato salad, green beans and cowboy beans, we had a feast. And the conversation was lively too.
Every evening was special and every evening our numbers at the table increased. As Diana said,"We don't see you very often in a year any more, so we might as well dine together every evening". And we did!! Ken and I are very fortunate people.
