Those Acadian singers that we saw last week, "Chuck and Albert" (see post below) were talking about how in the maritimes people still do what they call "Kitchen Parties" - you invite a bunch of people over, visit, eat, someone plays a fiddle.... it is just a good time.
Well - we had a version of the "Prairie Kitchen Party" our house tonight. About 25-30 people (counting kids) - food - coffee - stories - a few people even played the piano (but no one did any "Step dancing" like in PEI).
It was nothing special - and yet it was. We didn't do anything - but it was worth doing. It was fun just because we got together.
Hopefully when we decide to do the next one it will be warm enough to be outside with a BBQ and a fire - that would be nice too.
