Day 1087: Finally together!

The day we've waited for has finally arrived.  Our family, gathered around our table, feasting, laughing, telling stories.   Colin explained the principles of long form improvisation and then shared some scenes so we could see it in action.  Evan spoke about a profile of Angela Merkel in the New Yorker.  The conversation was buzzing and frantic, punctuated with laughter.  We don't understand half of their references.  Quotes from movies, song lyrics, books, actors, comedians, scientists.  But, the talk is delightful, tantalizing and intoxicating.  I could listen to them forever!

All day I prepared. Steve was out running more errands, finishing up details for the EMT course and the MS musical.  I did more vacuuming, baking and decorating.  The menu was one of our favorites.  Roasted, herbed Brussel sprouts, carrots, and broccoli.  Roast beef, gravy, a gorgeous Yorkshire pudding, and more cookies!


Don't bother us, Mom, we're eating!


Yorkshire Pudding!
