Last week, I had some family come to town. Luckily they came just a few days before Debby and could enjoy some sunny Florida weather. I come from a big big family and getting together is a big deal. There was a lot of early morning visits (6am early), sharing pictures and stories, and eating. Lots and lots of eating. It was a feast almost everyday leading up to the super feast the night before they had to leave. It called for a whole day of cooking and prepping. By the time I got home from work, everything was already done. The table was set with Vietnamese BBQ, greens and noodles for making hand wraps, with sides of homemade crab rangoon, papaya salad... pies... fruit. So much food.
This little guy stole the show the whole night.
Too much cuteness!
These flowers. They were not picked from my yard or bought at the store. I'm pretty sure they were plucked from my neighbors yard. When my family gets together, we do some crazy things. Sorry neighbors.
How lovely! :) I just love these kind of large family gatherings with lots of food and chatting. I haven't had one in a while.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that I absolutely love Barbara Kingsolver's books: "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle", "The Lacuna" and "Animal Dreams" (I'm reading the last one now). They are all so excellently written, and I recommend them for stormy nights :)
Thank you for the recommendations! I'll check her books out :)
