i have done a 24 hour up and back trip to
my brother doug and sister-in-law, ra's
in massachusetts.
bad driving in huge rain and wind.
classic rock on the radio.
(riders on the storm by the doors).
dinner with a handful of relatives in honor of my cousin margda,
who lives in sweden with her wonderful family.
mardga was in the states delivering a paper at a conference,
and we were lucky to have an evening with her.
and this morning, doug made crepes, filled with vanilla yogurt
and sliced bananas for breakfast.
have i mentioned lately how i truly believe
that one of the most sacred and holy places in this world
is at a table surrounded by friends and family?
well, i do.

I completely agree with you on the sacred space. There is something so incredibly wonderful about lingering at the table, with wine being poured,and conversation flowing. yum!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I think of you as a kindred spirit - what a clear statement of the divine in our lives.
ReplyDeleteamen!!
ReplyDeleteThe crepes look wonderful! Glad you had such a nice trip despite the weather. Yes, we were sitting around a table with our daughter this weekend, eating good food, drinking wine and chatting. Very special times...
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you about the dinner table surrounded by family and friends! that's one reason why i feel so bad about how totally cluttered and unusable my kitchen table has become. It sounds like you had a wonderful visit despite the dreadful weather.
ReplyDeleteneed crepes now.
ReplyDeleteglad you had some connecting family time and made it driving in that horrible rain.
