B & H's Christmas Party

Nine o'clock as I type...... we just got back from the Christmas party at B & H's fabulous house in the biggest and newest subdivision in this area. Gorgeous house, and I would bet it's one of the million-dollar homes that's offered in that particular subdivision.

Beautiful, large, open rooms, wide hallways, lots of cabinets in the kitchen, and their pantry was big enough to dance in. And Christmas decorations... a Santa or an angel wherever you looked, with miles and miles of lush, lighted garlands. Just a beautifully done, very tasteful home that was chock-full of Christmas. B had the island in her kitchen covered with trays of food, which was all eaten on Lenox china Christmas plates. V said that B has been collecting Lenox holiday dishes for years. There must have been thirty people at tonight's party, with Lenox china for all.

The party there was like one of our own parties.... lots of talking and laughing, with lots of "good energy," as my husband calls it. As everyone left, B did what I always do... she handed us all a little gift.... no one went out the door empty-handed. We drove there with V and S, and left early when they did.... V is now on her way to Kroger for last-minute groceries for Christmas day.

One of the guests at the party was Ron McNair's wife...... he was the astronaut who died in the Challenger tragedy. And right this moment (my apologies) I cannot think of her first name. (The hot apple cider from the party has melted some brain cells, I guess.)

Nice night....... nice company..... and the countdown to Christmas day continues.
