I'm going to get away from recording social events and try to challenge myself to doing other things. Today I thought I'd start off with some thoughts on humour. It seemed like a good way to start since last night we were supposed to go to Minerva's starting at Donna's place first. When Jim and I went to go to the garage leave, the gate was stuck so we couldn't get the car out!
So, plans changed and we ended up at the golf club for dinner since it's so close to us. Our dear friends took this all in good humour and we had a wonderful evening ending at our place with the dessert Donna brought...fresh peaches and absolutely delicious homemade brownies. Thanks, guys!

I guess I like these because they have a gentle quality and aren't particularly political. I didn't immediately get #4 for some reason. I'll blame it on being number challenged :)
