As a solo

A widow said to me recently, “Even though I’m a solo, when somebody passes my house they’d think I had a house full of guests!” Then she added, “I’m always treating myself.”
The smiling lady went on to explain, “At Christmas time I place Holiday lights around my yard and in the windows.” She said that this gives her house a warm feeling and a party atmosphere.
And she added, that she doesn’t wait for invitations to go anywhere. If she isn’t invited to dinner, at home, she prepares herself a nice meal, and places a candle in the middle of the table. Then, with a chuckle, “I don’t hesitate to microwave popcorn and check the movie TV Guide.” Yes, she believes, as a solo, in treating herself!!
