Sweet thoughts began a few days earlier when I started preparing for the meal we would share with family, and the dessert that would follow. Yummy cake cools on the rack, waiting to be frosted and layered.
This afternoon, my darling Grillmaster exceeded all expectations by expertly grilling every kind of meat that family members brought to our gathering. Our sister-in-law Charlotte helped him out a bit--or is it that Fernando allowed her to turn some of the meat on his precious grill? *grin*
Our family tends to bring a lot of food to its gatherings. Just look at all that chicken--and there were also T-bone steaks and country ribs!!
Dinner was superb, and it was great to have the family gathered together. We chatted, ate, cleaned up, chatted some more, enjoyed the halfway-decent weather, and...
...sometimes an unscheduled nap occurred. Hey, it's nice that my dad is comfortable in my home! If that were me, I'd never have heard the end of it! :)
My mom and I started a Scrabble game, and I opened with a seven-letter word. Score! The game then went downhill, though we broke the required moron-level of 600 points combined, which made us feel better.
As we waved good-bye to my parents, the Lord blessed us with a beautiful sunset to end His day. Despite the suburban feel at eye level, I need only to lift my eyes up a little higher to see His splendor across the sky.
Christ the Lord is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing ye heav'ns, and earth reply: Alleluia!
Back to life,
Christine
