Year 6, Day 146. “Living the Dream”. Wednesday, 9/23/2026, Clifty Hill 3. A little walking, a little lumber pick up, and then afternoon company. This was an unusual day for us. Not the Somerset morning walk. (Actually, the walk was a little different we walked over route 80).
Not the Lowes, and Lumber King shopping. YES, it was having company over. We had such a good time spending the afternoon eating and socializing with Kathy, Willie and Milo Wang. AND it was not all about building and real estate. We even got to experience fruit from their garden. I had never heard of Che fruit or Jujube fruit. And never tasted Pawpaw before. Such a fun experience trying new fruits. The Mandarin Melon Berry is also called Che or Chinese mulberry. The bright red berries are clustered together. I was a little nervous tasting them, but they were great. They were soft chewy and sweet tasting like a fig and melon blended together. The Jujube is also known as the red date or Chinese date. It was crunchy juicy and sweet like an apple. Reading about the Jujube it is widely used in Asian herbal traditions to promote relaxation, improve sleep quality, and support digestion. Definitely out of my comfort zone trying these new fruits.
I love cooking and having people over. The menu included Arancini balls, Focaccia Bread, meatballs, white bean dip, marinara sauce, fresh grated parmesan cheese, veggie sticks, olives, and vanilla ice cream topped with Limoncello and Biscoff biscuits. Let’s not forget the cosmopolitans. It was an afternoon of appetizers and lively conversation. Guess what – yes, you know me. Good times not working and I always forget the pictures. But look at the beautiful flowers they brought. Thank you, Kathy and Willie, so much for brightening up today and probably the next week with this gorgeous bouquet.

Daily Reflection:
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://link.amazon/B01sThoBR Suction Cup Wreath Hanger These are amazing for hanging that front door decoration. They don’t budge. There is no sliding down the door. My wreath has stayed in position.
