Our Sunday

After yesterday's fierce storms and rain, we woke up today to a near-perfect Sunday.
We got to sleep a little bit late, then got up for coffee and a simple breakfast. We decided to eat lunch "in"...doesn't that make it sound more exciting? Afterward, we did a little bit of shopping at Belk (oh, Yellow Box...I ♥ you) and then on to Marble Slab for a little ice cream therapy. That place is too expensive, but it was a treat. Onward to Lowe's we went--choosing more plants for our 3rd annual summer garden. Jason is so cute the way he gets out there and takes care of everything. Today, he bought the girls two child-sized shovels so they could help him. They were dying to get back home to use them. Five minutes in, they were over it. :(
Oh well...maybe that was better for Jason. I've wandered inside in the last little while to get supper started and it smells like I've walked into my Memaw's house. One the stove tonight is seasoned chicken breast with baby carrots, English peas, and I'm about to make some rice. I absolutely love cooking for my family. I know that probably seems old fashioned, but it makes me tick. My Memaw, Nina, would be so proud of me, I just know it. She always tried to feed you any time you walked in her door. I have lots of her kitchen utinsels and pans now, and I think of her every time I use them. (She ALWAYS had a pound cake in her cake cover!) I hope that my daughers will grow up to be good cooks, wives, mothers, and hostesses.
