Our children graced us with a "romantic evening dinner lunch" today. Caleb and Judson dressed up in white shirts and dark pants, (caleb wore a vest and was the cook), Hannah also dressed up as the hostess, and Judson provided the entertainment. the menu offered a wonderful selection -- PB&J with chips, Club sandwich with chips, turkey sandwich and chips, baloni [sic] and chips; snack special: flavored pretzels; drinks: milk, ice water, coca-cola, gingerale; Chips: BBQ chips, Corn chips; Deserts: Cookies.
They set up the living room as the dining room, the piano bench became an intimate little bistro table for two, two stools from the coffee table downstairs became our chairs ... and candles ... they set up a candle on the table, and beside the table another higher table with another bunch of candles on it.
Leslie selected the PB&J, I chose the sub sandwich with turkey and cheese and mayonnaise, and we both had barbeque chips. For refreshment, we selected the Emmerton Well '06 (chilled), but opted for no 'desert'.
During the meal, Hannah serenaded us with 'I'll Love You Forever', by Paul McCartney and John Lennon (I think), and Judson did a more dynamic performance which included a couple of flying leaps onto the couch (the second AFTER he'd been told not to do it again).
Oh. Did I mention both boys had mustaches? (They're coming off now ... they are both in the tub)
Of such things are precious memories made.
Oh God please help us not to forget them!
grace & peace
