Whenever I get blog blocked, I have to remind myself that this entire blog effort is a journal. A place for me to look back on my journey into and through (hopefully) the sixties. That's when I realize that there are unspecial moments and events that I want to remember. Like tonight.
Our granddaughter, her husband, and Superbaby are still with us which is great! Unfortunately though things have been so chaotic that we really haven't had an entire evening together. They're often invited to her dad's for dinner and don't get back until Superbaby's bedtime. This is fine and we're happy with the arrangement however it goes; but I forgot how great it is to have them here for dinner.
I forgot that my granddaughter will always help get dinner on the table (the reason that seems foreign to me is that yesterday she was just an adorably spoiled little 3-year-old) and that our grandson-in-law will do whatever he can to help. And how pleasant it is for us all to sit around the table and eat a home-cooked meal and how much I love showing them a new recipe or meal for them to add to their repertoire of meals and dishes. And then afterwards everybody pitches in with the clean-up and takes turns playing with Superbaby.
That's when I realize yet again that it just doesn't get any better than this.
And it doesn't hurt to look outside at the miserable weather and remind myself that I don't have to walk 9 or 10 miles in it tomorrow and that I can take all the time I want tonight to enjoy my family because I don't have to start getting everything ready for work tomorrow.
Life is unbelievably sweet and I'm unbelievably thankful.

There you go, that's what I'm always telling you. You don't have to TRY to be interesting...just hearing about what is going on with you is interesting enough. You are lucky to have them there, everything you said is so true! I'm so glad that you don't have to be out there tomorrow too!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds very sweet to me. What was your job before that you did so much walking despite the weather?
ReplyDeleteWe are still so glad to be here! And the little pitching in we do is nothing compared to all you do for us! Dinner was soooo good!! There is nothing better then eating an awesome dinner at the table with family. It was so great!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
