Mary, I respectfully disagree. I have enjoyed the GE's I've participated in so very much. I'm only not participating in this one because I have totally overspent the budget for Taffy's Christmas and birthday. Plus, I'm wanting to help a start-up animal shelter in the county where I used to teach.
It's killing me though not to participate and taking every ounce of willpower not to go ahead and sign up. I am trying so hard to learn how to be disciplined in what I plan and not just give in to my "want to's". You'd think I'd have that skill mastered but I'm nowhere near there.
But as far as fun goes? I enjoyed planning and snooping and "stalking" my buddies as much as anything I've been involved in since I retired. It is wonderful to know that you are a part in making someone's day happy.
Fun? I'd even go beyond that and maybe describe the GE as a celebration...at least that's the way I looked at it. I got to celebrate a new friend and her Yorkie and that is a joyful event!
