And so we go


We were at vigil tonight for the Feast of the Cross.
We are not able to go to liturgy tomorrow 
but are so glad we were able to go tonight.
My Husband's parents left this morning,
after a simple hearty breakfast including
Granola, Yogurt, English Muffins, boiled eggs in egg cups,
PB + Jam, butter, decaf coffee for my Mom-in-law, 
tea for me and water, juice, as one wished.
They arrived back in MI safely, and we are so thankful for their visit.
***
And we are already gearing up for my parents visit,
which is next week!
We are hoping to go the VNA rummage sale end of next week
and one of the big things I hope to find are salad/luncheon plates.
***
I am feeling more focused and less worried about what I am looking
for and I now think that my wish for the thicker stemmed drinking glasses
was really the way to go and am trying to get out to get more at some point.
We are getting two small pieces of furniture to round out our living/dining room.
That will be nice and eliminate the need for folding tables
and add storage.
***
I am glad that the next few days I can be home and have some quiet.
It's wonderful that I have such nice visits.
I am hoping to make a new recipe on Tuesday for my parent's arrival
and that will be really nice.

I'm so happy for you Elizabeth as we start the fall season followed by winter and a time to be snug in our homes. Contentment is a virtue and I think you and I both hadlve attained this. I too love being in my home and putting around. I'm sure you're so excited for your parent's upcoming visit. Enjoy your weekend and don't work too hard! Pat
