Saturday's Happenings

Once again, I couldn't fall asleep until after 4:00 a.m., but slept in till almost 10:00 a.m., so that was good.  I did wake up once, around 6:00 a.m. when Dancer meowed (he was asking for his breakfast), but I went back to sleep. 

Daughter tidied the house for me, last night, so all I had to do this morning was dust and vacuum.  I did that and picked some roses for the living room.  I also picked some fresh lemons for the fruit bowl on the dining table and extra to give my sister.

Sister and her husband arrived at 1:00 p.m. and they brought Indian food for our lunch: rice, lamb curry, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, mint chutney, and carrot and green chili relish.  I served sparkling apple cider to drink with our meal and the flan I made last night for dessert.   After lunch, we lingered at the table, talking.  It is such a blessing to have my sister living near enough for regular visits.  I have two half brothers, too, but one lives in another country and the other lives in a different state.  Two other half brothers have already passed away.

After sister left, I washed the dishes while daughter put away the leftovers.  There are enough leftovers for a couple of meals for us.

I spent a quiet evening, just relaxing, and the time just got away from me.  I was planning to do a load of laundry, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.  It's already almost 1:00 a.m.!  Way too late to do laundry!

Today, I am grateful for:

- Sister's visit/family time
- Indian food for lunch and leftovers
- Daughter tidying the house for me and a clean house
- Fresh roses and lemons from the garden, enough to share with sister
- A relaxed evening

How was your Saturday?
