The Pajama Party

Residents of the Independent Living section of South Bay at Mt. Pleasant, SC, (minimum age 55) held a “pajama party” to celebrate the beginning of the New Year. This was a tad different from the usual pajama or sleep over party commonly held by teens as a rite of passage.

Being of a more cerebral nature the adults stayed home at night and bypassed the “sleepover. ” We met in the morning in the card room where Bloody Marys, orange juice, quiche and biscuits were available. About twelve residents (one man - me) and some staff were in attendance.

All the ladies wore colorful pajamas, some topped off with a bed jacket.  The conversation was lively, everyone ate and drank and a suggestion was made that next year everyone try to get a new resident to join the event.
