What a day. For breakfast, Diane cooked canadian bacon and scrambled eggs. Actually, it was mid morning before we got mobile and ate. Immediately, Gary, Diana and I went to the pharmacy to pick up Ken's prescriptions. Then it was off for lunch in the country at the wonderful Sutherland home. Eleanor graciously invited us so Diana and Gary could see their home. Greta Barbour and John were there too along with Christina and the girls so we sat down to a beatifically decorated table as a party of 14 with the children at one end and the adults at the other. Christmas decorations were everywhere and the home looked beautiful.
Eleanor is an excellent cook. We ate chicken and artichokes and salad with chocolate mousse for dessert. What a meal. Before lunch we drank spiced tea and egg nog in the living room. After lunch we enjoyed the fire in the living room while continuing our conversation. Our visit was delightful. Good food and good conversation is a fine combination. Ken again missed the event.
Our neighbors on Roses Bluff had invited us for a glass of wine for 5:00 tonight. They had enjoyed chatting with Gary and Diana at the party last evening so they asked us to come and see their home and visit. Sandy and Archie are good neighbors but we overlap here briefly throughout the year. Our visit was short but sweet. We left with a wonderful chocolate dessert, made by Sandy, which was our Christmas gift for the season.
We four finally sat down for dinner at 8:00. The day was full and we were all happy.
