I’m having friends over for a game night.

how exciting! This will be the first game night in my new house of joy.

ah…let us pause as I contemplate my beautiful happy home. I love my home. I love that it’s mine and I get to make it beautiful with flowers and pretty things all the time, and no one can tell me otherwise.

And one of the ways of making my house even more beautiful is by having a bunch of great people over and doing something that will be remembered as a good time. It’s important to have the memories of good times, for the sake of bringing them to mind when I am alone, and even more for the sake of bringing them up with the people you shared them with. I will be able to say “Remember that one time…” and every gets that special look of remembering, which usually includes a smile.

Yes, it’s a vortex of looking forward to the time when I can remember the good time that I am looking forward to having tonight, which leads to…

YAY! We are having the first game night at my house!

There is a big selection of games. I have purchased snacks…Salsa and chips and pretzels…. And sodas, and maybe we’ll makes margaritas…maybe…depends.

The only outstanding question is the playing surface. Our dining table is up against the wall, and in that configuration seats four. It could be moved away from the wall to seat 6…which may end up being the choice…but that would make it a tight fit in that passage way.

We COULD go in the living room and put the board on the ottoman and sit on the floor. I will have to consult the players when the arrive and see what everyone thinks. Either way is fine with me…

yay!
