Oldest daughter and sweet Indian boyfriend are working together in the kitchen making nachos for all of us. Nice for me with his family making dinner last night, and for the kids to be busy in there now. Not that I mind cooking, but do enjoy someone else's dinner, no matter who it is. It's a refreshment. And it always tastes good, for some reason.
And had a nice, quiet afternoon. Beforehand, took the major portion of my brood to church, and as always, church was wonderful. In my whole life, I've never felt so part of a service or congregation as I do now. Maybe when I was a child in the Methodist church my parents help found. Not sure. And I don't even know everyone yet, but have been made to feel so comfortable. There's something to recommend with a small congregation. There's a closeness and a family atmosphere that's very appealing. And like I've said----it's so very Mitford-like. Who could resist?
After church, went to the library for a bit with oldest daughter. Just an hour of time with her, which was a treat. I have to make plans with one child at a time, sometimes, so they don't get swallowed up in sharing each other and me. It's easy to get lost in a large family. I didn't come from one, but now, I totally understand the hazards.
Now a restful evening spins out ahead of me. Not sure what we'll do, but doesn't really matter. Just home stuff.
