Having 2nd Helpings of Fun, Friends and Food

                       Okay, if I explode during making this post I apologize! 

         We had our monthly picnic here at the Commons this afternoon. 

It was hot and we had occasional showers so we all tucked into the activity room and had a fabulous time.

There were so many of us that we ran out of table room so another table was dragged into place and it still was not enough seating.

I have never seen so much food... it was like being at a family reunion, and I guess it sort of was that. We all are family in a way. 

We had hot dogs and hamburgers. I chose a hotdog and then proceeded to pile so much other food on top of it that the bun got all soggy. I finally ate it with a fork. I am going to show you my plate.... don't laugh. I ate every bite of it. That is why I may explode! 

See the hotdog.... and that's an empanada on top of it along and a huge fried green tomato. Underneath was pasta salad. The cucumbers were so good... and the baked beans. I ought to be ashamed of myself for eating so much but I am not. 

The place was buzzing with conversation... so loud that you could hardly think but what a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I  met a new resident and enjoyed her company, I enjoyed being with the ones I know and I even saw some I didn't know but come to find out, they have been here awhile. I am so horrible with remembering people's names and putting names with faces. 

As we cleaned up in prep to head back to our apartments there was still a ton of food left. Many of us took things to eat later on.

My last post was about being a neighbor...

Well, Today just goes to show you I've got great neighbors.
