Friday night was the annual Henderson and Shelton Christmas party out at Steve and Judy's house on Cooper Point road. Lynne ( the bookkeeper) and her husband Larry picked me up and brought me home (how nice of them!) in a new Honda powered by compressed gas. Right now the only place close to get fuel is in Tacoma, but the cost is only about $1.40/gal. and the car gets 40+ miles/gal. Larry's job is to test cars and write reviews for the auto industry.
It was great to see everyone again and to enjoy the good food and many laughs. Steve, of course, was dressed in his kilt and full Scottish regalia and played his bagpipes as we all "marched" around the dinner table before eating. It sounds kind of silly, but we've all become rather fond of it.
Came home with a Starbuck's gift card, a nice wine glow, full tummy and good feelings. What more can you ask for!
