No... not on stage... Talents are for another thread.
I'm not sure I would have answered the question, but...
Entertaining has varied over the years. Now, not very much, at least with friends and neighbors. These days, it's usually family. Typically, most of our neighbors and friends do the same. When we get together, we "go out". In our case, mostly a matter of age, and the simplicity of not having to "prepare" for company. DW has "the ladies" over for bridge every few weeks, and if we have company from out of state, of course.
It wasn't always this way. In our Florida community, for 23 years we had a small social group of 5 couples, "Thursday's Child", and did the moveable feast thing every Thurday, alternating between homes. The community activities made up for any other entertaining, usually with more than one party, dance or pot luck each week.
Prior to that, in the w*rking years, most entertaining was very informal. with 4 kids, and working for a very large company, there was no such thing as having the "boss and his wife" over for dinner.
Except as a chld, in our 750 s.f. house, never had a formal dining room. Our dining room for 8, was 9ft. by 10ft. Lace tablecloth and all, including a piano. We were a very close family.
So the question... Do you entertain? Who and how often? More or less?
Again, if I were asked, I'm not sure I'd respond.
