Ladies night

My book club friends came to dinner last night and it was a lovely evening. I really like setting a nice table and then spending an evening with good friends, a bottle of wine ( or 2), great food. Paula brought her bread pudding- which is to die for and left the leftovers  with me too ( score!!) A friend who is going through a very tough time with husband's illness came and it was nice to see her laugh and have her mind taken off her own struggle for a while. The ladies are wonderful women, we all love horses and have become dear friends through our equine connection. We all very different but share a common love which in turn has revealed to us  our many similarities. We all laughed at the fact that we all still look the very same ( all horsewomen are fit) but we all are 10 lbs heavier than we were 5-6 years ago. What happened?
 Cubbing this morning was warm, but we ran several fox, actually we may have run one fox,  but we viewed several which is heartening to know they are around. It was very dry but this fox ran a huge circle  - horses are getting fit. Did you all see the moon this morning? Very beautiful and our friend from last evening told us all , that for the only time in our lifetimes, Neptune is visible about midnight right beside the moon. It is at it's nearest apogee or perigee (forgot which)  to Earth. Apparently, with binoculars the rings are visible!! I tried to stay up last night but fell asleep, but will try tonight. Once in a lifetime!
