Yesterday we went to the first of
the many Christmas parties we’re invited to, held in a lovely home built right
out on the water. The owner, an American
businessman who only visits a few times a year opened his place to about 60
people, and he wasn’t even here to attend himself! That’s just the sort of thing that is
commonplace down here – neighbors extend themselves to neighbors to help in any
way they can.
A great time was had by all. The menu was Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque – both delicious - with lots
of side salads and deserts as well. Everyone arrived by boats, of course, and
soon the house was surrounded by boats tied together 5 and 6 deep. What a
wonderful way to celebrate the season!
And now we’ve got five more invitations
for parties this week. Whew! We probably
can’t keep up with this crowd, but we sure enjoyed ourselves yesterday.
Sending out all the blessings of the
Christmas season: Joy, Peace, and, most of all….
