After my shopping excursion, we headed over to yet one more party, gathering, reason to serve a lot of food. It was a surprise party for my Auntie Odie. -She's one of those "aunties" that's not a real "auntie" - just a very good friend of my Mom. In any case...
It turned out to be quite a nice party. Her family had put together a music video in honor of her turning 70 - and I swear, she doesn't look a day over 40! - and it was quite amazing to see all the places she's visited over the years. I believe she's been on every continent, and in at least 40 countries. She does work with one of the Catholic charities, and some of her travel is mission-related. However, she also travels on her own too.
She's taking me and my parents to some nature preserve/resort tomorrow for an all-day adventure. Apparently, I'll be on a zip-line tomorrow, and for dinner, she's taking us to some high-end vegetarian restaurant. -And after all the beef, pork and eggs I've consumed over the past few days, a vegetarian meal will provide a nice balance to this week's food consumption.
