Sociable Saturday
Saturday, January 20--We were host for the Compton Heights Christian Church Book Circle on Saturday morning. We meet once a month and discuss books and life. This month we read The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. Norm and I fixed a brunch of egg, sausage and cheese casserole, bran muffins and apricot scones. In the picture with Norm are Marsha, Shannon, Kathy, Sarah, Melissa and Madeline. It's fun to have company!
In late afternoon we went out to dinner at Fuentes Mexican Restaurant with our friends Mike and Sandy Dixon. They have a knack for finding really good, reasonable places to eat that are easy to get to and an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The Dixons have a new Town and Country minivan; we got to ride in the back seat and help break it in! The van is named Skye. (Yes, the Dixons also name their cars. I heard someone say on a radio program recently that some 20 percent of Americans name their vehicles, so they and we are part of an elite minority.) After dinner we came back to our house for chocolate birthday cake. Yum. It was a great evening and a great way to celebrate my birthday.

before I read the post and just saw the pic of the van, i thought ... SHE BOUGHT ONE AND DIDN'T TELL ME! And then I laughed and laughed. But alas, not to be. Just ... (gulp) ... Skye. One might reasonably wonder if you and Ds weren't responsible for about 90% of that 20% of people out there naming cars (and appliances and ... and ...;)
The previous comment was from d, who forgot to sign his initial. Must have been the letdown of realizing we don't ourselves have a new van, yet. Have patience, dear d, we will get around to it...: ) Or maybe it was that snarky comment about people naming their cars and appliances that tripped you up, eh?
