Party weekend

Tonight is our big Friend's Indeed reunion. When we were young parents, we were actively involved in our church's social group for our age. Before we had kids, the group was called 18-32 (for the age range), but as people started outgrowing that age, but didn't want to move up to the next group, we changed the name to Friends Indeed. Eventually we were the Snickers, as the LAFF (Life After Fifty Fellowship) was very active, and we wanted to be known by something memorable as well. The trouble is, I don't remember what the Snickers acronym or acrostic (I get those two mixed up) was. Oh well.

So, tonight, about 20-30 of us will gather at the new home of some long-time Friends Indeed friends. Since our church dissolved over a year ago, we haven't been in touch--in fact, many of the couple who are coming had moved on to other churches years ago. It will be fun to see everyone and compare notes, here how the kids have grown, etc.

Then, tomorrow night, Inga has her presentation of Moldova at our house. We expect at least 40 people will be here. I still have to motivate the kids to clean the basement and finish raking leaves. (This is the last week for leaf collection, and there are still some darn leaves hanging on the trees. Maybe I'll get Mark to climb up and shake some branches.......)

It's barely 20 degrees, but at least the sun is shining and there is no wind. I have to finish cleaning the office and dusting in there, clean/vacuum all the carpets, and make food for tonight as well as check to see what Inga needs for groceries etc. for tomorrow night. And our small group is meeting in the early afternoon tomorrow........so I better get busy!

Till next time,
