Today I am Loving {82}

 When you have dear ones who will amuse you
and your obsession with hosting a four-course meal
(complete with beverages and stage changes),

 [Course #1: Melon Salad with a variety of cheeses; shrub drinks]

 [Course #2: Steamed Mussels with Basil Fries; Blackberry Lemonade]

 [Course #3: Fried Chicken with Caesar Salad; 

pineapple cucumber water] 

 [Course #4: Lemon Shortcakes with Basil Fruit]

 and you pray together and tear up a bit together, at the journey of these years and how these women have walked with you in it, in all of its beautiful hard and healing,

and there is so much blessing, 

in the Goodness of the One who made us, each one.
