Six for Dinner

When we bought "The Bus", the salesman advised us to tell everyone that "The Bus" only sleeps two. However, we have expanded on that telling everyone it will "sleep two, feed four, entertain six". With that in mind, Carole invited two couples from here in the RV Park for dinner Thursday night thinking we could comfortably "entertain six" on the patio.

Well, you've undoubtedly heard the old saying, "The best laid plans of mice and men oft times go awry". It rained all day Thursday and was much to cool and wet to eat on the patio . . . so we had to "feed six" in "The Bus"!

I brought our folding patio table inside and set it up as an extension of the dining table. A neighbor brought us a couple of extra folding dining chairs which we used with the patio table. It was a little crowded, but we were able to seat six for dinner.

Following appetizers and drinks, we served a dish we have prepared a few times, Mango Chicken Curry over rice and a Napa cabbage salad. Of course we served wine with dinner and followed dinner with strawberry cheese cake and coffee. The whole meal was absolutely delicious!

Our friends Doug & Jane McLaren are shown at the table below on the left, Jack and Bev Wolfe are on the right below.


Both couples are Winter Texans from Manitoba, Canada. Doug & Jane were our next door neighbors three years ago and are our next door neighbors again this year, Jack & Bev were our next door neighbors here in the Park last year.

Doug "turned the tables" on us and took our picture at the other end of the table. Carole looks nice and relaxed, but he sure caught me by surprise.


Well, in spite of the fact that "The Bus" only "feeds four", we had "Six for Dinner" and had a wonderful time. The space wasn't spacious, but it was certainly adequate. Of course we had to return the folding table to the patio and return the extra chairs to the neighbor just so we would have enough room to do the dishes.

Next time we have "Six for Dinner", I hope the weather is nice so we can serve on the patio.
