About today....

My husband is really sweet. 

With various things (including the Feast of the Ascension of Christ) going on, 

I was not able to clean like I had hoped and frankly was overwhelmed by it last night. 

So what did he do this morning? 

He got a start on the dishes and got them to a point where it was not as messy. 

Then I finished them after he went to work. 

I really appreciate my sweetie and how thoughtful he is! 

So, got groceries delivered.

My cousin H and her son W are coming DV

beginning of July...

I am now stocked with good food that is easy to prepare,

frozen things.... one of the things I love about hospitality is how 

we offer things according to the person you are with...

I am also relearning again the phrase:

"perfect can be the enemy of the good" by stocking up on some

pre-made things, including 'guilty pleasure' tater tots for a brunch party I am 

hosting DV in a week, frozen crepes and a simple egg bake recipe that I can do the day of...

***

I got 2 mangoes by mistake in my grocery box.

And I had bought some pre-frozen baguettes for later, for nice meals

and 3 of the 4 were broken by the time they arrived, so

I got refunded for those 3.  

Our freezer and fridge is well stocked right now...

I am excited to have people over...

I think I am so into creativity and the depth of things, the art of it, 

that I can forget that one can whip up a wonderful feast without having tons of

energy or time to do so. 

I am slowly reading CS Lewis' letters.

1916. He's reading, living in a house, and loving all the right books,

and the beauty of a book well bound.

I can read 2 pages and feel so rested.

I don't know how it will read when it is later in his life, but

I am loving the innocence of his youth and how he is loving good books 

and classical music.
