Entertaining

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

I’ve always loved opening my home and entertaining friends. We had parties in all our homes. Even when space was tight, we invited friends and neighbors to our home. NYE 1999 We had a party for over 100 people at our home. Families came. I had made everyone a champagne glass with 2000 etched on it. At midnight a friend played Auld Lang Syne on the piano and we all sang. It was a fabulous time.

When I divorced I had to live in small apartments. I had to move out of my community of 25 years. Depression set in and entertaining was not an option.

Now that I am out of that dark cave and I now have my own home, I’d like to entertain but I’m afraid. It’s been so long. My circle has grown smaller. I don’t have all the entertaining equipment, like chafing dishes, wine glasses, etc that I used to have. What used to be second nature now seems like a mountain to climb.

I’m hoping my love of entertaining returns.
