Dinner with the Rellys

Friday night I invited Allison,the in town Ferrey's and Henry over to dinner. Henry could not make it, he was still in the field, but everyone else came. Grace brought CJ he seemed a little under the weather, with a cold, poor guy. We had a good visit, caught up on everyone's lives. Sampled some of the wine and chocolates from the charity basket. I made spaghetti at Grace's suggestion, and it all turned out OK. Sam has a new roommate, but no more furniture. I offered him my patio table and chairs, but not too sure he wants them. Only a few more days until Kelowna, and we have been having Kelowna type weather here. The sun has been shining, no snow has stayed on the ground.
I talked to the powers that be on the GOA account and my manager, and I have decided to commit to the account for another year, so I will stay in town until the end of 2011. Then it is only 3 more years until I retire, I have decided that the end of 2014 seems like a good time. I am thinking I will take a year off, then maybe find a job in the non profit sector. Stef if you are looking for someone at that time, I will be your person. Or maybe I can work with Todd. It might be too much Sivakyness for him, living next door to one and working with another.
It is S&B Sunday at my place today. I am trying a new recipe, hope it turns out. I think I have to temporarily move some of the furniture around, so we can all see each other as we stitch. With the new configuration of my living room, if more than 4 people are visiting it is a bit awkward, as I found out on Friday. Better get off to the store to pick up the ingredients.
