FELIZ NAVIDAD

As far as I'm concerned, the King and Queen of Parties are Gary and Larrie Boetticher.  And now that we no longer live near, Patty and I have had to give up those great invitational occasions.

The way these things work is this.  Larrie goes all out decorating their home and preparing keepsake favors for the guests.  She and Gary provide the main course and the soft drinks and light libations.  Guests bring a covered dish.

Gary and Larrie also engage the professional entertainers, and no one knows who they will be until they arrive.  One of the best was a magician, for an example.

But my very favorite was the Christmas party about eight years ago.  The guests had been there for some time, chatting, eating and getting reacquainted, when the stereo music stopped and the doorbell rang.  Gary went to the door, and as nosy people do, we all looked to see who the Diller A Dollar A 10 O'clock Scholar late guest was going to be.

The moment Gary opened the door, there was not one guest but a big mariachi band! And instantaneously they began playing and singing "Feliz Navidad," and for the next hour the band entertained.  As they always do. Larrie and Gary stood at the back of the room, blending almost unnoticeable into the wall, watching their guests' smiles and laughter swell, recognizing that the Christmas Season in Clear Lake City had now arrived.

Seeing their guests' reactions to the surprise is the joyous reward to the best hosts - Gary and Larry Boetticher.

Sounds like some party. It's nice to know that some folks still know how to entertain.

We had mariachis for my Dad's birthday one year. They are wonderful. Thanks for the memories.
