People are always coming or going. It is our habit here in Western Head to celebrate both. Our four families now spend most of the summer here, along with other Bethesda friends who have been here five years and we all have guests, so we celebrate when guests arrive and we celebrate when they leave.
Last evening, Gill hosted a cocktail party to say farewell to Dave and Irene, who must leave for Ontario tomorrow. In addition, Clausen must return to Washington for one week of work. Eleven of us gathered on Gill's deck to enjoy the weather and each other, drink beer and wine and eat her goodies. It was pleasant indeed. Perfect evening.
Tonight at our home we ate our last supper with Dave and Irene and Betty and Vinal. Betty cooked duck, the same ducks shot by Vinal. I prepared the mashed potatoes while Betty did the other vegetables along with gravy and stuffing. Evidently, you always serve stuffing with wild duck, along with cranberry sauce. The dinner was delicious. It was the first time for duck for Irene. I was responsible for desert; Peak Frean biscuits and fresh fruit. No home made pie for me!!
Normally people say that they will see each other next year, but this year, as our 55th will be in Texas, they are saying "I will see you in Texas in October." We will be ready for more comings and goings!!
