YEN

 If I have people over and don't take a picture of the table, did it even happen?

A lot of our guests wanted an explanation about my clock wall.  I don't have one except I like it and it's a pain whenever the time changes.

Also, I only ever look at the biggest clock to check the time, so no, it doesn't bother me that some of them are a few minutes off. (I welcome anyone else calibrating them if they are so inclined.)

Then I told them about how my grandmother's grandmother clock identifies as living in Hawaii because it is always 6 hours off no matter what I do.

Then Marcia realized I was wearing a shirt with clocks on it.

It was a whole theme.

We had four kinds of soups, bread and scones, brownies and peanut butter cookies.

You know who can cook well?  Empty nesters.  They've had practice.

I had a game planned, but we never got to it because everyone sat around the table for hours talking.

(And it's a miracle some of those men are still alive after hearing some of their teenaged antics.)

Two of the men got up and quietly rinsed dishes before they left.

It's a quality group that enriches my life!
