Tonight the dinner party moves over to Swanda’s place after a relaxing day around the house avoiding paying work and catching up on magazines that have been stacking up.
Firecracker salmon, some orzo salad, cucumbers in vinegar, corn salad… too bad I forgot to bring the wine.
Hell, I was even home by 7:30!
And then, all hell breaks loose at 9.
Fluffernutter had called during dinner which rolled over to voice mail. When Swanda retrieved the message it was not good. A member had gotten lost in the woods on a hike with a dozen or so other members.
Fluffernutter was on the way out to the trail head, family had been tracked down and notified. I was assigned two channels to watch to see if there was any coverage (negative), and by 11:30 Swanda and I were headed out to the trail head with more pop, water, sandwiches, chairs, a canopy — apparently a dozen of his family showed up to help.
I got home at 3:15am and got the text that they had found him a 4am. At least now I can sleep with some ease.

Thank you…thank you…thank you! Yes, you did play a very helpful role. Don’t want to have to do that again anytime soon. But glad to know we know how to do it!
