TWAS A NICE NIGHT

THEY ALL CAME..NOT THAT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD NOT. I GAVE EVERBODY A CHORE..SO THEY HAD TO SHOW UP..LOL
WE WERE 7 WOMEN AND 3 MEN.. THE POPULATION HERE IN SUNRISE IS ABOUT 90% WOMEN. WHAT A LAUGH. THE MEN ALL THINK THEY ARE WANTED..ANOTHER LAUGH. BUT I DIGRESS.
ONE PERSON MADE THE TUNA SALAD..VERY NICE, I GAVE HER THE TOMATO'S TO DECORTATE. LOOKED GOOD. TASTED, WELL NOT TO MY TASTE. ANOTHER MADE EGG SALAD. WELL IT WAS MADE WITH EGGS!!NOT BAD. ITS KINDA HARD TO SCREW UP EGG SALAD. ANOTHER BROUGHT THE 2 BOTTLES OF 7 UP (ONE DIET, ONE REGULAR), NOBODY DRANK IT..(PEOPLE REALLY GO FOR THE COLA STUFF), ANOTHER BROUGHT WONDERFUL COOKIES, (BAKERY BOUGHT) AND A GOOD RYE BREAD. ANOTHER, STORE BOUGHT ROLLS. (O.K.) ONE OF THE MEN, HAS NO WIFE. SMART GUY, CAME WITH 2 LBS OF POTATO SALAD AND 2 LBS OF COLE SLAW..(1 OF EACH WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH) BUT HE IS SINGLE AND DOES THE RIGHT STUFF..I SUPPLIED THE WINE. OK, FOR NON DRINKERS, (DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIET, PILLS) THEY WINE WAS THE FIRST TO GO...YUMMY. I HAVE ABOUT A HALF OF GLASS LEFT OVER. I WILL FINISH IT TONIGHT..THE FOOD WAS NOT REALLY THE HIGHTLIGHT OF THE EVENING..WE JUST TALKED, HAD SOME FUN, AND DID NOT TALK ABOUT ANYBODY IN THE BUILDING..NOW, THATS A FIRST. I ALMOST THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE CRASHED, BUT ALAS THEY DID NOT BOTHER..SO WE HAD COFFEE, SOME FRUIT THAT WAS BROUGHT AND LOTS OF GREAT COOKIES..THING IS, WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND SOMEBODY SAID WE SHOULD DO THIS ONCE A MONTH..YIKES..ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE CLEANING UP WAS NOT TOO BAD. MY CLEANING PEOPLE COME ON WEDNESDAY, SO I DID NOT HAVE TO DO THE FLOORS, ETC..JUST PUT AWAY SOME DISHES..NOT MANY AS WE USED PLASTIC FOR EVERYTHING..EXCEPT COFFEE MUGS. I WAS AFRAID TO GIVE THEM FOAM CUPS. TOO DANGEROUS FOR SENIORS..ONE OF THEM STARTED TO WASH THE FEW PLATES AND CUPS AND SERVING ITEMS..I WAS GOING TO PUT THEM IN THE DISHWASHER. OH WELL, I HAD TO DO SOME BY HAND THIS MORNING!
THEY WERE GONE BY 8:30... THE BAD NEWS OF THE WEEK-END WAS THAT THE DOLPHINS LOST THEIR SHOT AT THE PLAYOFFS. I AM A BIG FOOTBALL FAN...SO THATS THAT...SEE YA
