April 15, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. A Dinner Party.

The dinner was splendid, as was the company.  It was the perfect sendoff for Wonderful Wendy.  Eleanor and Jim invited us so Wendy could see their beautiful home.  In addition to touring the house, they had prepared a magnificent and elegant dinner for us and the Mills.   The conversation was timely and controversial.   It certainly was interesting.  We discussed the recent actions of the Governor of Mississippi.  Politics is something we generally do not discuss.

The evening moved along very quickly and before we knew it and we arrived home, it was almost 11:30, which is an heard of time for us.  Both Ken and I must be getting better to be able to stay up until almost midnight before retiring.  The whole evening was delightful thanks to the courtesy and hospitality of our friends Eleanor and Jim.   And of course, Eleanor is a wonderful cook!!

Another first for Wendy was the children.  There were 7 children in the house along with the 7 adults.  After the initial greeting, the children were not heard from the rest of the evening.   It is astonishing but true that the home schooled children know how to look after themselves and play together.  I am always impressed at their behavior but this was the first time Wendy has seen them in action.  She too was impressed with the polite demeanor of the children.    Ou8r whole evening was a delight.
