Last week there was an invitation on the bulletin board for the
annual KMHC Thanksgiving pot luck luncheon the starting time was scheduled for 11
am but things didn’t get started until noon. I was not the only tenant getting impatient but since
I spend 2 hours the night before preparing my infamous potato salad I waited it out
and didn’t complain. Half of the tenants
in the building showed up and we were all in a good mood for the feast. HOW Charles
& tenant Norma were Mr.& Mrs. Harvest Moon. (They wore Autumn leaf
decorations around their head & neck.) :D
Five UNH’s staff members showed up late along with an older gentleman
who apparently is a board member, he didn’t say a word to us so I later
approached him and said hello. The acting HSC sat at the other end of the community room she
avoided eye contact and didn’t say a word to me throughout the luncheon, looks
like she’s still upset after I called her out at the last tenant meeting. Aww
poor baby Ingrid. :P
When asked who will say grace HOW Charles looked away
then my friend Deano stood up and volunteered…Ha! Who cares if he fumbled a bit in his words at
least the man tried. Those who sat at
our table tenants Deano, Spencer, Sandra, Shirley and Janis & HOW Charles all
enjoyed the lunch.
Funny moments - when silly Shirley moved her chair too close
to the water cooler and accidentally turned on the water spout which overflowed
on to the floor. The Super was a good sport about it and didn’t freak out over
the mess. My potato salad was a triumph there was nothing left in the
serving bowl. At the dessert table 1 pumpkin pie crust was so hard you needed a jackhammer to cut through it. :) After dessert I left, the last I heard my fellow tenants were
playing bingo in the community room it’s a game that doesn’t interest me.......it
reminds me of the little old ladies who wear too much makeup and chain smoke cigarettes at the local bingo
hall. LOL
Presentation and timing is important at these events, I rate
the luncheon 6.5 out of 10 only because it could have been planned and
organized better. It would have been nice if everybody showed up on time so we could
enjoy the feast together and that includes the UNH’s Director, she probably
stopped first at the Wellington Tavern for a few large pints.
The highlight for me was seeing Ingrid finally doing the dishes..it's where she belongs...in the kitchen. :D
