This year we spent a few days in Door County. We rented a home in Fish Creek and explored together. The weather cooperated and we visited a few shops and galleries, sampled some hard cider, visited some very good restaurants, had a picnic lunch at Peninsula State Park and went to a performance at the Peninsula Players. We did our annual "book and movie" list so I came home with some ideas for both good reads and good films.
We had way too much food as everyone brings something to share at the house. Apples and kringle, popcorn and crab salad, a chicken dinner casserole and salad, granola and cookies, apple cake and delicious appetizers, carmel apples, wine and more wine. I'm sure there was more.....! At one point we agreed that basically we'd spent the entire three days eating.
Every year we reminisce about past gatherings....and always say something to the effect that we can't believe it's been so many years since we graduated from Ripon and went out into the adult world.
This year the "I can't believe it" conversation took on a little more meaning as 2016 is the year we all turn (or are still turning) 70. Now that really is impossible. Still......here we are......and frankly, looking pretty damn good.
Already looking forward to 2017........
