Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
The aftermath... howling winds whipping across the deck... greenhouse shuddering... garbage cans toppled... covers strewn about... driving rain thudding against the windows... sound of freight trains as gusts topped 60 mph... house shaking... floor boards creaking... a cacophony of sounds... hairs standing up on the back of the neck... no sleep for tired souls... finally... 5am... storm eases... dropping off to sleep... exhausted but safe.
Awakened to cloudy skies... light rain... calls from the grand kids out of state... little voices... Merry Christmas Grandpa... adorable... happy faces... opening presents... lots of joy to share.
Packed up all the goodies in boxes... bags... plates... wrappings... and a crate to see happy faces enjoy them... a labor of love worth every pound of chocolate and stick of butter 🍫 🧈 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎁
Visited with the local family... our kids... the in-laws... great friends and family... just us six... windows open... masks... chilly but lots of fresh air to keep us all safe and healthy... delicious brunch of NY bagels... smoked salmon... cream cheeses... whitefish salad... egg salad... fresh coffee... mimosas... and of course Christmas goodies... what a delight to enjoy some few moments together after so many months of isolation... so looking forward to the vaccine to resume some semblance of normalcy.
Supper was a visit to Hawaii... spam, home fries and eggs with sliced tomatoes and Orange Cranberry Banana Loaf alongside... delicious... a perfect end to a soul filling day 😷💕
How was your day? What on your plate? Thoughts?
