Last year, at the beginning of the summer season, our four friends decided to stop dinners in each others homes. Instead, we had cocktails together. Our system worked. No one was over worked but we got to visit our friends throughout the summer season. Last week both Gill and the Mitchell's were out of town so Wendy and Clausen invited us for dinner at their home which is against the routine for the group. We have decided to keep out dinner a secret and never tell Gill or Mary and Clif. It will be our own small joke.
Unfortunately, the day was hot, the hottest day of the year in Liverpool, so sitting outdoors on the Ely's deck was impossible. But we all decided that we had all been hotter in our life so we could handle the heat. After all, they were born and raised in Alabama and we lived in Texas for six years. Our dinner was lovely. Wendy is a good cook and Clausen makes good salads and of course they are always gracious. Dave and Irene enjoyed the dogs too although the dogs do not like the heat.
We are fortunate to have our good friends just a walk away for the summer season. This year the four families will be here all summer. And we will enjoy each other's company, just not at dinner.

When it is hot - do you swim? Is the ocean too cold?
