I'm pleased to read that you are having fun at house parties. JoAnn and I have received increasing numbers of invitations. And for us there was also the moment of realization, "Gee, there is no party this weekend. What can we do?"

An update. The weekend actually worked out really well. We made plans to meet a new couple and then received a party invitation. So we asked if we bring a couple with us to the party and it worked out. Not that we are super experienced, but it was only the second party for the other couple and they were just a little apprehensive, maybe shy is a better word. But in the end was had a fun time with our new friends as well as meeting a number of new couples at the party.
