Yesterday morning after getting the feeding done I drove to Sarah's house on my way to Aldi. Not that there are any Aldi's near her house but both Zion and Eden have not been feeling well and Sarah could use adult company. Almost everything purchased was for Ruth and Fedi's party. Once home the roast was prepared and then stuck in the oven. Mark came home early and together we worked on the shrimp. We left at 6:15 pm for church to hear the last sermon of the year which Tim Funk gave. The party started at 9:00 pm so right after church we changed, loaded the car and headed over. Ruth started with appetizers, a huge spread of appetizers. No pictures we were all too busy sampling them and they really were delicious. Then came the games and with those the laughter. We had a few minutes to build a house of cards and who ever had the highest at the end won.
We played many games including Spoons, Matches, Hand Taps, PinchyWinchy then moved into two lines and did Strut Miss Suzy for old times sake. Oh how we laughed. Mark actually won at Strut Miss Suzy! Who would have known he could strut so dramatically and according to him he wasn't even trying. Fedi brought out a Jack Fruit and gave us all a lesson on preparing and eating this ugly but good tasting fruit.
At 11:00 pm we had the last supper of 2019. Fedi had the prayer praying both for the end of 2019 and for our new year and decade. A few minutes to midnight Ruth and Rhonda passed out noise makers. Ruth snapped the picture below as the women were getting ready to head outside.
Fedi brought out his special noise makers shooting into the air with some amazing big bangs. I'm sure the neighbors, at least those that were still home could hear us old folks welcoming in this brand new decade. A BIG thanks to Ruth and Fedi for hosting. Everyone enjoyed the party, food, fun and games.
