LK's class has taken on the fundraising opportunity of cooking for the school board meetings this year. It is a chance for my spouse to share his love of cooking with his students and raise money for their end-of-year field trip. Definitely win-win.
Due to a death in the community, the meeting that was scheduled for this evening has been post phoned. And we were left with a great big meal for eight in the fridge and only four of us. So, a quick holler down the road and we had dinner with Nana and Pop.
Last week Nana was the one hollering when she saw the we were done after a few really long days at school. And we gathered around her dining room table.
In the middle of dinner the Sprouts were chatting about this and that. Pop was listening and teasing with a twinkle in his eye. Nana was sharing news from her day and extended family (she is my news source for the whole family for me). My spouse was playing off Pop's teasing. And I sat back (with the most yummy flavours in my mouth) and breathed in the happiness of it all.
There are moments in my life that seem to slow down, just like in the movies, and give me the chance to really appreciate the joy or beauty that they contain. I wish I could store up all this joy and sprinkle it over the whole world like fairy dust.
