I am also very happy that I had bought all the kid's gifts for the Santa party. Should nobody else get gifts they did and Christmas is all about the kids anyway. Agreed? Good then all the adults should understand if my shopping doesn't get done and they end up the recipients of gift cards.
Another good thing was that when I was at the Market buying for Thanksgiving dinner I had the foresight to order up my Crown Roast and Rib Roast so it will be ready and waiting for me or whoever picks it up on Wednesday. Have I told you lately how wonderful my kids are? They are. I don't know how I got so lucky. They all got together and discussed how they could help me during this and offered to make dinner. My kids are great cooks and would do a wonderful job....the only problem is that cooking and being in the kitchen is a great stress reliever for me. They understood completely with a "Good, you cook and we will clean". I told you they are terrific. So here is what I am cooking:

Your menu sounds wonderful. We are going to change things around a bit from the normal fare here at my house. We are grilling steaks outside on Christmas day!! I am happy to hear your mom has been having some good days. When it gets to end, like this, we begin to question if we know anything at all about dying. Just remember, God will chose the perfect time to take your mom home!! Love you Wendy
ReplyDeleteI know Paula. I am just so grateful that she is not in any pain or discomfort. Grilled steaks sound like the perfect Christmas Dinner. That is the usual fare for my family in California. Who would have thought that our Christmas in the Midwest would be mild enough to allow us this treat.
