Open House

Saturday we had an Open House at our place. We invited family and close friends. It was his idea. Before he came home on leave he didn't want to have anybody come over, he didn't want to see anybody.

Now that things are better between him and his girl he decided that seeing people would be a great idea. He and I had run a couple errands one afternoon and we passed by a couple we know taking a walk. We waved at them and he turned to me and said, "Let's have that open house."

About forty people attended. His girl came down from college to be there too. I was amazed. I don't know if I would have had the "guts" to come into a house full of people who knew their history.
