Yesterday we had a party at my friend Jackie's place in Palm Springs. She has a bad toe, sore toe, in too much pain to go out and party toe...so we brought the party to her. With about 8 people showing up, everyone brings a dish to share, spark up the BBQ, some swimming. We watched How to Marry a Millionaire...an old flick with Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall...it was actually funny, and reminded us all how times have changed. Then it was on to a Tom Cruise movie, Jack Reacher. I'm not a Cruise fan, but I do like some of his movies. He takes his job as an actor seriously and definitely delivers. Jack Reacher kept us all engaged, and I have to admit, I was wrong towards the end of the film when they revealed the true culprit. At the end of the day, everyone had a great time, and went home with extras. I have to say, I am a part of a great group of women here in the desert...we're all so different, but get along so tremendously well. I look forward to many more outings and sore toes. © Corlyce M.
