We were ready for a party. Abe, Anna, Sara Lou and I were prepared. Sara Lou bought a bottle of wine. She brought a jar of pepper jelly from North Carolina and she bought cream cheese too. We already had crackers. So we were set for a celebration with Anne and Kenny. They were successful in Mexico City. Now they were back home at their boat. Anna had made a special dinner. So we were set for a happy hour with sunset food followed by a lovely dinner, all while sitting on the balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
But plans change. At 4:00 Anne called to tell me that she tested positive for Covid so she must isolate until she tests negative. And Kenny had come down with GI distress so he could not come either. So our party would not happen with the six of us. At first w talked about keeping everything for another day. But we decided to go ahead and have our party with just the 4 of us and we did. We all leave next Saturday so we needed to eat up our food. We were sorry to not hear the tales from Anne and Kenny but we might not be able to see them before we leave. After all, Kenny could get Covid too.
We drank the wine. We ate the pepper jelly and cream cheeseon crackers. We watched the sunset and we ate our splendid dinner. And we celebrated. But we missed Anne and Kenny. The best laid plans indeed.
