Fellowship.
Fellowship is good for the soul. It is good to be able to relax in the presence of friends. Particularly in ones that know how to accept each other, warts and all.
Well..I was in the presence of some good friends yesterday, Memorial Day Monday. Four families and several invited children's friends. I don't know what the head count was, it really does not matter, we just had a good time spending time with each other.
Now...I don't think anyone would script a raining downpour for Memorial Day Monday. But that is what we had. It is kind of funny...the burgers and dogs were cooked in the rain...and they actually came out pretty good. There were nice salads and many different chips and delicious deserts. :P
But..the highlight of the day was the Monopoly Game. You know....never brag that you have superior skills in a game....because you just mark yourself. And that is what happened yesterday. My buddy Bill...announces to us...his superior Monopoly skills...and it was his “superior skills” that bounced him out of the game first...and of course....set me up for my own doom next. Marc...proceeded then to eliminate the women's team...mostly through luck...because he never landed on their properties.
In the end...we had a fun time... The Women's team appeared to be the favorites...but superstition interceeded on the men's behalf...and the “unlucky” woman...proceeded to roll dice they thought were bad...and began to land on Marc's properties. This continued despite drafting other woman to roll the dice...(poor Maggie...could have been worse...she could have been drafted by Bill) Well...Marc...the microcosm of financial industry...ended up devouring the woman's team...
A fun day and many blessings for all.
