October 15, 2016 NYC to Elizabethtown and Don’s Retirement Party

We got up early and taxied to Penn Station at 7:00 and ate bagel and egg and sausage sandwiches and a coffee.  I also bought two salads, a brownie and chips that we took with us on the train that left NY at 9:20.

We arrived in E town at 12:00, where Jeff, Suzette’s brother, picked us up and drove us to Suzette’s folks’ house where there was at able filled with potato chips and plates filled with chunks of Lebanon Bologna, hams, cheddar cheese, and apple and pear slices.  

Then we washed clothes and took a nap. 

At 5:00 we got dressed and went to the VFW hall, where Don’ retirement was held.   The party was catered and included chicken and dressing, sliced baked ham with a ginger glaze, green beans, and potatoes au gratin.  Then after dinner there was desserts, including a lovely chocolate and peanut Butter cream icing cake in the form of a suitcase, a carrot cake, a lemon meringue pie, cheesecake, and a terrific carrot cake.

Don was a wonderful stand up comedian demonstrated through a series of speeches by his friends, cigar store owner, and work mates.
