It was such a rainy day, there was flooding in nearby towns and in NYC today.
My Husband was in NYC but made it home safely.
It was such a blessing to have my parents-in-law home with me today.
My Mother-in-law did a large part of the collapsing of boxes we did not need,
and later I organized our new now not crazy 'crazy closet'
and it is going to mean that a bunch of boxes that were in our office,
that we really needed to keep but had no 'home' for,
are now properly shelved.
This is such a blessing!
My Mother-in-law bought this cake for us last night!
We had a thin piece at lunch and it was nice!
Lunch included chicken burgers, salad, and fruit salad!
My father-in-law's Bible, a real treasure.
Lots of leftovers made a really good meal tonight!
The meat I reheated in the toaster oven,
everything else was done in the microwave, with all of my
metal pan lids to keep things warm...
I set out our pretty blue and white dishes..... and nice water goblets too!
I managed to clear the island!
It was lovely to eat by candlelight!
My father-in-law called this 'romantic'! :)
A delicious meal and a fun dessert!
The cake was not too sweet and finished the meal off nicely.
Tonight we talked about many memories my father-in-law has of
immigrated at age 13 from Holland to BC Canada, way up North.
It was a joy to hear these stories.
I am so glad I have my Husband's parents as my
parents too... and to think my own parents are also coming soon,
next week Tuesday, is a great blessing.
you set such a welcoming table, I love the photo of the bible, what a treasure! Looks like you've had fun with family!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! Yes, that Bible is a treasure and I saw my father-in-law use it many times!
