I got an impromptu invite to a big dinner today...the call came in around 8pm the previous night. Even being a short notice kind of thing, it was the best dinner get togethers I have had in a long time.
Saturday would have been my Grandmother's 83rd birthday, she passed away in 2000. My little cousin Tilo, who is 9, thought it would be nice to have a birthday party for the great-grandmother he never met. So his mom, my cousin Maria, made some calls and got herself cooking and we had a FEAST!
There was roasted turkey, corned beef and cabbage, potato salad, steamed veggies, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing and pineapple upside down cake, my Grandma's favorite.
It was a great afternoon being with my family. My mom, my aunt and her boyfriend, my cousin her husband and her 3 boys, my daughter and her toddler, my husband and my two little boys. Being with family is something that warms your heart and heals what ails you. It's something I need to do more often.
