05-20-23 Lobster and tunes
I puttered at some chores and watched shows after having a sleep in. I wavered back and forth with social anxiety about an invitation to a party a half hour away in Meadowbrook. It is an annual event but this was my first invitation. The invite was actually for last night, to come and camp for the weekend and have lobster and prime rib. I finally took my recycling out, picked up makings for a big Caesar salad, packed my cooler and headed there. I am so glad I did. It was a lovely smaller group as last night was 80+ and I was able to have a few very nice longer conversations with folks I have known casually for a few years and with others I haven’t met before. There were lobster left over from last night and I decided to pay and enjoy one. Tom Bungay, an east coaster, who brought in the lobster along with his wife Verna, cleaned it for me and showed me all the inner workings. It was filling but I still think, overrated, as my favourite is Dungeness Crab. I am glad to have had that experience though and the music playing was wonderful. So many old and new friends doing what they love for our enjoyment. Next year I plan to camp for the weekend and just relax.
