dinner for three

Last night's dinner was a pleasure in every way. The setting was warm, cozy and comfortable (B's house), the food was tasty and satisfying (quiche, salad, fruit, cheese, wine), and the conversation wide-ranging and free-wheeling. The talk among women takes on a different dynamic when gentlemen are present. When it's just "us" things get said - and solved! Topics included the war, the elections, life in this burg, who's reading what, family, children, travel, youth and age, and the state of the world in general. I treasure these gatherings. Food for the body but, more important, for the soul, the mind, and the funny bone. We finally called it a night at about 11 PM and I drove home one happy reveler.
