Wow. Everything was so yummy. It's amazing that I didn't go home with a jar of fig preserves and some peppadews. ....probably just because we weren't going home. We were headed over to Snohomish, to see if we could help with any of the moving craziness. (Two of my siblings got the keys to their new houses last week!)
I love going places with Tony. I love having someone (adult) to talk to in the car. I love fighting over the stereo. He turns off my Italian. I turn off his talk radio. I brought a ton of hand-sewing with me and finished it all on the way there. Luxury.
We didn't end up being especially helpful (so full of good intentions), but pulled a few weeds...peeled a little wallpaper (Tony was reminded of his passionate hatred of wallpaper)...ate a little pizza. It was lovely to see everyone. I hope my loved ones haven't all transformed into balls of stress. Becky, if no one helps on Monday, I can come over on Tuesday. I'll bring my indentured servants as well - Anthony is actually a pretty mean bathroom cleaner.
You guys were really helpful! Thanks for coming and dragging along the indentured servants. My little patio is absolutely lovely, and I hear you can seal wallpaper on with acrylic primer. Nasty stuff, but it's better than my lady-house. I think we should give her a cool name. Have you ever read the Anne books? I was thinking something in the spirit of Patty's Place.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for your sisters. It's nice that you are still living close by during all their activity. (And Beth, I always wanted to live in Patty's Place.)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed Foodie Saturday! That was SO on my list of things to do! Next time...
