Also are there others on this board that like to play Canasta?

Final proposition (and I usually don't proposition strangers......Oh wait you're neighbors, not strangers): In some of the "older", "more established neighborhoods" I understand there are regular "driveway gatherings" (planned events - usually weekly and rotating from house to house. These usually begin at the cocktail hour (5-ish) and I think they include drinks and potluck hors d'ourves (sp?) Is Gilchrist becoming established enough to begin this tradition? I think we're about there, and Dave and I would be glad to share our driveway for the first one. We were thinking maybe Thursday, Feb 28th? Anyone interested?
That sounds like a smashing idea to me. I vote yea!!!
