The day with the extended family was most pleasant. My cousin Phil brought his delightful daughter, Rebecca, and his wife Tanya along. Rebecca is adorable, and Phil is quite the adoring father. Rebecca, full of personality, was also quite tired due to the holiday frolic, so she was a bit cranky, too. But Phil would comfort her by holding her such that she could lay her head on his shoulder, and he would gently rub and pat her back to calm her. And I noticed that as he gently patted her, she would gently pat him back on his upper arm.
Simply adorable.
I feel like I might be coming down with something. There's a dark force at work on the back of my throat. Onset of illness, I rebuke you!
I was not near my cell phone while I was at the family gathering. I received a darling little voicemail from a sexy sounding Scotsman. Now that's the way all voicemails should sound. ;-)
Now I'm home, and though I was tired after spending some time at my mom's house with the family, I got a wind of the second order, and assembled my shelf, changed the sheets, threw some laundry in, and will shortly begin folding said laundry. I shall fold such laundry while I watch Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
I think I shall essaye to re read the trilogy this week.
Tomorrow I shall have John and Siobhan, and me Ma over for dinner. I will endeavor to make a Risotto and Wild Mushroom Casserole, with some salad. If you will recall, one of my previous posts, gentle reader, we learned the lesson of two people per rib on the Prime Rib Roast. Ergo, they shall likely be bringing some leftover prime rib to accompany our dinner.
