The House Party was great fun.  (See my Facebook page for photos.)  At one point during the brunch, I had everyone go around the room, introduce themselves and say how they know me.  Some of the answers were hilarious.  Sally and Suzie live on each side of our home.  Sally explained that her first introduction to Wayne and me was through a pair of binoculars the day we moved in.  She called Suzie to report we looked pretty normal.  April, who lives across the street, received my credit card in the mail by mistake and claimed she regrets returning it because she suspects I have a higher limit than she does.  Maureen and I met through the UPS man.  He delivered wine to both our houses and since both couples seemed to enjoy the same wine, he suggested we meet.  Taking him at his word, Peter and Maureen walked over one evening with a bottle, and we’ve been friends ever since.
