Yesterday, for the fourth time in as many years, I entertained seven people at my house with a rather elaborate sit-down dinner as a fund raiser for the First Presbyterian Theater. Each of them paid $50 for this privilege. I couldn't have done it without my friend Alice who is an artist with appetizers and my daughter who baked an amazing chocolate/chocolate chip bundt cake for dessert. It continues to amaze me that anyone would pay to eat dinner at my house and I really marvel at the fact that five of these people have come back every year.
Every year, as the last guest drives away, I mutter to myself "never again" because it takes a lot of planning and good old work. Peeling potatoes is not high on my list of favorite activities. And this year the "never again" promise may come true. By next year, if all goes well, I will have downsized, and, if I'm very clever, will make sure my next place has a small dining area. One more motivation to get my house sold.
