Busy, Social Week

Weeks like this do not happen often. Most of the time, my days and nights are quiet and spent at home, just like I enjoy. But, I do also enjoy getting together with friends and belong to a Bunco group and a Book Club, that meet once a month. And, sometimes there are birthday celebrations for a girlfriend or just a spur of the moment girl's night, with a glass of wine and conversation. This week, my schedule was full with all of these.

On Wednesday, I had fun catching up with my neighbors at Bunco. I have been a part of this group for 18 years, since the preschool days and when a babysitter might be needed to go. It gives me a connection with my neighbors at least once a month, since we don't spend time outside chatting, while watching our kids anymore. We have a lot of fun too - see I got 2 Buncos!

At book club last night, I picked the book for us to read (The Unfinished Garden) and since it was about how gardening is a metaphor for life, I took my friends a hyacinth bulb to plant now and enjoy in the spring. Each year when the flower blooms, they can remember the book we read and our fun night.

I had to show you one of the beautiful and delicious dishes our hostess prepared for us. Endive leaves with lots of fresh, chopped veggies, then drizzled with a light, flavorful dressing. So good - and healthy too!

Today, I am taking a friend to lunch, for her birthday, and tonight I will be at a friend's house for a small get together. Wine will be enjoyed at both :-)

My weekend continues to be busy, with MSU football and Thanksgiving preparations. Hope you all have a fun weekend and enjoy time spent with friends and family.
