Well, I guess I should blog
We had Meaghans Riding Academy Christmas party here at our house this past Sunday. It was good to have people in the house, but I have to say it wasn't intimate like I prefer things here. Of course you can't expect much when most of them are strangers. I find it interesting different peoples perspectives on going to someone's house for a party. Several people brought simple little gifts for the hostess, among which one was a funny little horse ornament with a cardinal sitting on its hind quarters. Another gift was paper Christmas napkins (?) and another some yummy pumpkin bread. And several people intentionally sought me out to say "thank you" for opening my house. Just interesting.
Of course none of your house is private when you have that many people in it. Kids were everywhere. There is one group of girls all about the same age as Meaghan that hung out in a pack here in Alan's study listening to the hip music. Then there was the younger crowd who in general just ran around mostly behaving themselves. I had a good time but had hoped the more core group would stay longer than they did. Ms. Reed, the instructor, and her daughters and granddaughter were the last to leave. We sat and talked in general for a bit, I liked that part best.
We have our yearly Christmas party coming up this Friday. Alan and I went out and invited several of our neighbors, once again, interesting the different responses we got. Several invited us in, most looked at us like we were aliens. One house there had been a guy outside and didn't answer the door when we got to his house. I guess he thought we were "out witnessing" and didn't want to deal with that, which I totally understand. I hate opening my door to strangers, out of fear and inconvenience. So, anyway, if any of you are close by to Lexington and want to come hang out with us this Friday, you are invited. 7p.m. and bring a bottle of wine!!
