Lunch with the Girls

Yesterday I went over to Hazel's house for lunch, for gift-giving and enjoying the company of my British friends.  Hazel put on a marvelous spread, an afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, scones served up as we do in the old country with clotted cream and jam, and lots of delectable little sweet pastries.   Then of course there were the endless cups of tea, and a couple of glasses of sherry.  We even had a fun game of dice - I'm not sure what it's called other than Left, Right and Center, and we played for quarters.  We said we should play for dollars next time.  As we only need six of them for two games,  maybe that would be okay and pretty tame.  No high rollers here thank goodness and just as well but we did have a bit of a competitive spirit.  No I didn't win any of the games and we all said it was nice to play something that you didn't have to think too much about, other than roll the dice.  We had a great time as we always do and we don't seem to draw breath for several hours.

I'm not going to be on here much as we have company coming tomorrow for the holidays, so I will wish you all A Merry Christmas for those of us who are celebrating it, A Very Happy Holiday Season for all my other blogging friends, and To All, A Very Happy and Healthy New Year!
