3. I'm crying right along with you on the no dessert thing.

Tonight is our monthly neighborhood dinner get together in our (unused) Vermont village church. It’s within walking distance….snow, old houses with little white Christmas lights, the usual neighborhood guard dogs. I look forward to the walk as much as I do the get together.

Our dinner theme is “Italian Night” and everyone brings something. I’m bringing green beans sautéed with soy cashews and some Italian bread. Others are bringing eggplant Parmesan, spaghetti with sauce, lemon spaghetti, lasagna, Sicilian lamb, garlic bread,
Cannoli, cheesecake, pistachio cookies. There should be about 30 of us.

Raucous atmosphere, great conversation, lots of support, a gazillion hugs, and then there is the Trash Trump hour….or two.

Hugs to all~
