We’ve been working hard to organize and decide what we are cooking for the dinner after the service for my Dad. Yesterday we went out to BJ’s and Stop & Shop and got the things we needed and this morning we will be cooking up a storm.
We did take my Mom out for breakfast yesterday to a place that she and Dad went to whenever they could. Their favorite waitress took care of us and we ordered one of dad’s favorite’s, Strawberry Pancakes! yum!
I was amazed to discover that I can’t eat the way I once did. I filled up very fast and ended up leaving things on my plate. An unheard of event a few years ago. Mostly I craved coffee, and they make great coffee there!
We came home to Mel’s in time for lunch, and Mel made us roasted asparagus! Oh WOW, that was good! We also had Portuguese Sweet Bread. Also a big YUM!
I then noticed my niece’s cat Annie lounging on the foot stool and took a picture for Gattina and her cat Arthur! Now you can see, Gattina, why I love Arthur so much!
We also have made a collage of picture to have at the supper after the service, showing Dad thorughout his life. I think it came out well.
I love the collage very much. It is a great thing to remember about him in this way!
Love Uschi
It’s a beautiful collage Maribeth, full of love. My thoughts are with you as you say goodbye to your father.
Strawberry pancakes! YUM! And roasted asparagus! TRIPLE YUM!!! Asparagus is my favorite vegetable – and grilled or roasted is the best!
I love that collage – we have a few of them that my eldest has put together – just of the family through the years. They are so much fun! I could look at them for hours!
That’s sweet to get your Dad’s favorite. š
Great memories, I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow, love Michele
The collage is a wonderful tribute to your dad and a way for others to remember him in happier days. Take care of yourself, Maribeth. I think you are handling all this very well. *hug*
I think Arthur what fall in love with her, lol ! what a beautiful cat, imagine what kitties they could get if Arthur wasn’t ….. !
Yesterday (saturday) Diane (Rennie’s wife) came to Waterloo and we spent the whole day together. It was very nice and we had a great day. Pictures are on my Writer Cramps blog. It really is special when you know somebody without knowing him and then you see each other suddenly life ! Great experience, for me the first time !
I mean would fall ….
YUM! Those pancakes look….. too yummy! I really need to keep some sort of diet now too, since the “bikini-season” is closing up š
Oh, that collage is sooo great! I wish we had made one for my Mom too. Great idea, to keep in mind.
That’s a really beautiful cat. I’m sure that Arthur would be thrilled.
