The first supper….

Tonight I hosted my first real supper in my new kitchen. I love dinner on the deck and tonight I fell in love with eating on the island….

It was an easy menu….some wine and beer, some chicken chili, some chips and sour cream, salsa and cheese and some spinach salad…

Some music, some laughter, some conversation, a very little silence and a few tears….it was a time that filled my heart with gratitude….

So 18 people enjoyed the meal and the community and I am confident it will happen again….

I am so thankful for a home and a kitchen, a family to fill it and the peace quiet after it has come and gone….

I will sleep well tonight and wake up thankful on Thanksgiving morning….
