I have so much to be grateful for. I forget to say thank you for the little things, like clean kitchens, light breezes, and riotous football games right outside the window. ;)
I have guests coming in about an hour and a half, and I have very little to do. The beans have been cooking for an hour, the corn pudding is ready for the oven, and all I have to do after that is get the cornbread in the oven and slice the tomatoes. The menu items this evening seem to have graduated cooking times - I had an hour to get the beans going before the corn pudding needs to go in the oven, and another half hour before I have to start mixing cornbread. I have time to clean up, set the table, and in general get everything ready except for the guests.
I don't know how often I will do this, but it is so... healing... for me to set table. I feel so blessed that I can nurture my friends in this way. They are my family here, and I want to show them this.
