We used to have people over frequently to have food and play games. It was fun. I would make good food from scratch. Jamaican Jerked Beef with Homemade Confetti Salsa. Roasts and potatoes cooked just right. Salmon and rice. Quiche. Spaghetti with my special cheese topped bread golden brown from the broiler. (I can still manage the bread, but not the coordination of the whole meal on time....) And the desserts. Yummy.....
Over the years this has slowed down..... until now there is nothing much going on.
I think we need some impromptu-stop-on-in-like-folks-used-to-do in the way olden days before phone calls. And then when you stop by, don't be horrified at the level of clutter that you see. Or anything else about our home. I probably won't cook anything (and I might be in my jammies and (may even be asleep) but I would still love to see you!)
We'll just love each other up. We might even have some fun.

Those were the good old days. When you didn't have to have plans in order to stop by and visit friends...you would just...stop by. I know too many people who would never be ok with a random drop in. I for one would love it, but then no one wants to travel this far to randomly find me not at home!
Well, in the way past past women would have "at home" days scheduled each week so people could stop on by for short visit. Of course, visits were limited to about 30 minutes.
I think planning is better. Yes. Then people are at home and you know you are not interrupting something.
remember we always used to play Canasta?
