Reflections, Day 62
“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” ― John Steinbeck
Saturday was a day for Dekie and me to go places. We had a good time but it sure did get into my writing time.
We enjoyed a surprise birthday party for the dynamic president of Rome Area Writers, Jason Lowrey. For the past two and a half years, Jason has worked hard to keep the meetings and activities of the group interesting, informative, and productive. He’s a pretty nice guy, too.
In the evening, we were invited to the Oakdene neighborhood’s seasonal gathering. We were outsiders, of course, but I’ve done a bit of work in the area and we know a lot of the people who were in attendance.
We found it most interesting and entertaining to visit with groups of people after an almost two year hiatus in social activity. We enjoyed looking around at the beautiful décor in the home that was built somewhere around a century-and-a-half ago. Maureen has done a brilliant and tasteful job of making the house into a home.
