We have a neighborhood dinner club that meets every other month. This year we have 24 members so we break into groups of 8 and each time we meet, we dine with different people. This month, the dinner was yesterday (May 17th) and Bob and I were hosts. All of the 3 dinner groups agreed to meet after dinner at one home and unknown to me was the plan to have a "bon voyage" party that had been secretly arranged.
Neighbors packed special things for me for my trip (and boy were some of them really special!). Actually I really enjoyed it and have enough kleenex to fill 20 teenage bras (just kidding!), plenty of toilet seat covers, some candy to offer to the cranky person sitting next to me on my long flights, some sunglasses, a sewing kit (never know when one will need that far off in the mountains), some flip flops (not borrowed from John Kerry I don't think...they seemed to be too small to be his),and one honkin' flashin' American flag pin (don't think I can get that one thru security but it was fun to wear). It was all packaged up in a cute box that Laura decorated as a survival kit. We did have a cool champagne toast and lots of fun. Thanks to all our great friends of the Spinnakers! You're the best!!
