I had lunch with my friends today. They are four sisters that I grew up with and their sister-in-law that I also know since childhood. It was a lovely luncheon at Dottie's church. She had a table of 10 people who were her family and friends. I hadn't seen Annie for years and was surprised to see how much she looked like her mother. The theme of today's luncheon was Italian. They had two kinds of lasagna one with meat and the other a vege lasagna. Meatballs were another dish and cheese raviolis. The salad was mostly lettuce with creamy Italian dressing and Italian bread. Large trays of cookies were served for dessert. The entertainment was a singer who sang in the Frank Sinatra style. He walked and danced around the room singing Sinatra favorites.
After the luncheon, I went to Dottie's house for the rest of the afternoon. She became a widow about a year and a half before I did. Her twin sister lost her husband last year and her older sister has been a widow for about 10 years. It has been a difficult time for all of us.
I left Dottie's in time for rush hour on Interstate 95. The traffic was going between 20 and 40 mph on a road that has a speed limit of 65mph. I thought I'd never get home but I made it. Another snow storm will be moving in tonight. It looks like we will be on the fringe and get an inch or two. I hope we don't get any ice.
