We were up and going strong by 8am this morning.......the 1st Lady went up to Farmington to do some shopping that needed to be completed by this evening's dinner party.......and I went to the city center of F'town(a small bit of sarcasm in that statement) to check out the local florist. Tuesday is the 1st Lady's birthday.....I DARE NOT say which one.......and I needed to get her some fresh flowers or something for her.
After checking out the things there, I elected to get a HUGE poinsettia which should last through the Holidays.....Hopefully!!! Returning home, I enjoyed some more of that freshly ground Fr. Roast Starbucks coffee that I use each day. I am anxious to give a try to World Market's coffee beans, which I picked up Thursday evening when we went into STL for some shopping and that marvelous dinner which I described.
She returned around noon.......and then we did a few things, puttered around the house some.....I removed my large deep chimes from the chain on the gutter....fearing the oncoming freezing rains and sleet which is predicted for tomorrow night and Monday.....and then just relaxed, watched a bit of the plasma/Directv and soon it was time to get ready for this evening's dinner.
Yep....another evening, another dinner with friends. This evening was the annual Christmas Dinner/Party for the 1st Lady's Phi Beta Sigma Sorority......and local chapter of about 24 girls(well......perhaps I should say "Ladies")....and the spouses. Tonight's event was held at the home of one of the members who lives in a very elegant subdivision just south of Farmington. A nice home....albeit toooooo many steps in the house for me.....but a lovely home.
With drinks at the bar, appetizers of many varied kinds, and then dinner followed with all kinds of salads, veggies dishes, hot brisket, and fresh ham.....and then just as many varied desserts....it was a nice change from the past two nights. I picked and grazed....and tried to not over-eat tonight. The annual sorority gift exchange then took place which was a bit drawn out.....lengthy....as each member and their spouse had to individually receive their gift(s) and open them in front of everyone.....hmmmm......
We returned home....and are now preparing to enjoy the later hours of the evening with a bit of relaxation. Tomorrow we will go see Mike....and then see what the weather does....if anything.
A good day.......nothing special, but then each day is not necessary a day for the history books, is it???? However, with each passing day, I realize sooo well that.......
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
