Free Car...Home Sweet Home...Ha! John and I went to a "tea" party at our neighbor, Ronni's, house last night. We had a blast. We were planning on staying for an hour since we had to go pick up the free car in Port Washington and go out to dinner. We were the youngest people there by a good 20-30 years but we had a ball. We wound up being there for 2 1/2 hours. Some people dressed up in costume for what they considered a "Long Island Tea Party". One man is running for city council (as a republican...) and John suggested his sloggan contain the words "More Poop Boxes" to help with the poop on side walks. Ha! Everyone got a hoot out of that. Another lady, Lois, was originally from MacPhearson, KS but she sound liked she was from Fargo. Several of the men were veterans so they all got to talk about which bases they had been based at. Anyway, it was a lot of nice people mingled with "long island ice tea" in cups and saucers, finger sandwiches and appetizers.

Then, we headed out to Port Washington to pick up the car. Had a nice visit with Linda and Jimmy. Super great people! I'll look forward to seeing them at church. John got the car tagged today at DMV. Only $135 for a two year tag. Cheap compared to OK!

Needless to say we never made it to dinner last night. Thank goodness for finger sandwiches and appetizers. They were actually the best egg salad sandwiches since I have been in NY. But we had a ball and worth every minute! John and I may really fit in better with the 55+ crowd...ha!
