The Old(er) Person's Party

Kind of a funny name for it, but it's what we called it. :) About a month ago, a bunch of us were over at my mom's one afternoon, and we were talking about the loft downtown I was moving into. I was saying how awesome it was, and how it was such a fun and great place for younger people to live, etc. One of my mom's friends said, "well what about us old people?! Can't we enjoy it too?!" So I thought, what the heck! Have 'em all over!

It was pretty easy to find a Friday night to have the party. Saturday's can be nuts in the summer, but Fridays seem to stay pretty open. So I had the "Italians" and the Kubach's over at 6:30. My mom, Ernie, George and Rosemary decided to go for the FULL downtown experience and take the RTA rapid (Cleveland's version of a train... kind of) and everyone else drove on down. No one could figure out how to call me on the call box, but overall they did a pretty good job of finding the place!

I bought and made a ton of apps, and to my surprise, people brought more as well. I was so worried they were going to starve and that we would not have enough food because I was not making dinner, but on the contrary, we had tons of leftovers! The plan was to graze on the food, play a game or two of of LCR (a fun dice game where you can win a big pot of singles at the end) and then maybe go to a more upscale bar to show them the nightlife. Well, everyone wound up having so much fun that we just stayed here all night, and the rapid crew barely made the last one home! Success. :)
