Party time!

This is our MahJong group, the gal sitting down, Elaine, was having her birthday and we pitched in and got her a really nice gift.

It was her 70th (we usually don't spend this much) so we wanted to give her a really memorable gift.  A purple MahJong set!  She was speechless.  What a thrill to make someone so happy!  And the cake was really nice too!

I made a really hard Maj hand too and got a dot on my card.  If you don't remember we put a dot next to the hand once we make it.  At the end of the season the one with the most dots gets their lunch bought.  So far it's pretty close. Oh, and I won three dollars and thirty cents too!

Next up was the condo's barbecue.  I got there at 5:00 and helped by making all the hamburger patties.  I don't like to touch meat but didn't mind doing it too much.  All I ate was a hot dog (no bun) and small salad.  It was a nice party but I didn't stay too long.  There was lots of drinking going on and I was having diet coke so it wasn't as fun for me.

Today is canasta but tonight I have yet another activity.  The club is having a dinner and a speaker, Dr. Robert Watson.  I think he's a lib (he teaches at Lynn University) but we have a table of eight of us ladies so I'm game for it.  Such a social schedule!  Ha ha.

So anyway that's it from paradise today.  Have a perfectly lovely Thursday.  I will too.
