Ah yes. We used to review the experiences we had in the homes of our friends, pointing out their shortcoming and failures, as well as their successes and strengths. We did like Marango’s head cheese salad, and Berts barbecued tripe was memorable. But I suppose it was when we made a little comment on Joyce’s two hour video presentation of her trip to Priddis and expressed some concerns about Pigsby the Puppy's peeing on Grant’s shoes that we did begin to see the string of invitations dry up. 

So now we just enjoy our times together with those close to us with the smiles and appreciation they deserve.
