The 6th Day of Christmas
Mike and Charisse invited us over for dinner tonight.
For the drive over we were getting a little rain that was trying to turn to snow. Very slippery conditions.
We brought over a bottle of white wine to share and a nice red velvet roulade from Lunds for dessert.
We started with cocktails. Mike had martini makings set out for me.
They had quite a lovely smorgasbord set out for dinner with lots of tasty options. We had a good three hours to talk about all our surgeries, troubles at work, looking ahead and preparing for retirement, and of course our funny cats. I think we came to the conclusion that despite the trials that occur at this stage of life we're at least gaining a level of wisdom we didn't have before to help counter it all.
While getting ready to leave we discovered the rain had indeed turned to snow and that there was a light dusting covering the ground. We said our goodbyes and were careful walking to the car and driving home because the rain had left a thin layer of ice under the snow. I can't remember the last time I had to brush snow off the car. Too bad this all didn't happen a week ago allowing us a bit of a white Christmas. Oh well, no matter. This holiday season has been quite wonderful even without the typical winter optics.
