Happy Thanksgiving Loners

[catchnrelease]

21. Thanks and back at you!

Had planned to have a small (5 of us) dinner with friends that we normally only see on Thanksgiving and maybe one other time during the year. So I really look forward to seeing them. Unfortunately my husband felt under the weather and didn't want to go, but said I should still attend. So I did and it was nice to catch up.

But, something there had me laughing to myself. Apparently the hosts had asked one of their neighbors who's wife is out of the country, to join us for dinner. He had said he would come when first asked but later said he didn't think he would make it. My friends called and texted him at least 3 times that I know of, to see if he was going to come. He didn't respond to their contacts. Friends were just gobsmacked that the guy would want to be home by himself and not join us. I finally said 'Maybe he's just an introvert and is happy to be home enjoying a quiet day. I might do the same if it was something I didn't want to attend'. They just didn't get it.
