Tonight we celebrated in the dining room of the farm house. We had three reasons to celebrate. Firstly, the girls came back to the farm from Bethesda, so that is worth celebrating for sure. They arrived at noon, looking weary and tired but happy, after living in the city with all it's bright lights.
Secondly, the farm house is totally clean. Everything is spotless from top to bottom. There is nothing in that house that has not been cleaned, so we wanted to celebrated dinner in the dining room. Every pot I took out or utensil I used was clean and shiny. Even the dishes in the china cabinet were ready to be used. In the past, because we used that dining room so seldom, every object had to be washed before using...but not tonight.
And lastly, our friends Diana and Gary drove from the city to have dinner with us and as Gary was instrumental in getting us the dining room set when Margaret R. died, I thought it important to have dinner together at the table, with our friends Don and Doreen, along with our granddaughters and Gary and Diana. It was a tribute to Margaret that we enjoyed such a festive dinner at her table. And the table looked lovely.
Three reasons to celebrate and all worth while.
