Everybody is so good to help me. I have over a dozen containers from this last week where people have brought me something to eat. Now I have to remember who they belong to.
I am so thankful for the thoughtfulness.
I've been thinking about all the times in my past when I cooked a meal for my family and took an extra plate to someone. I didn't have a clue how much that meant. It took nothing to do it. I was feeding six; another plate was just another plate. No big deal.
But for the person on the receiving end it is invaluable.
Jeanette's son Brad has adopted me. He is a fabulous cook--especially of Chinese food.
Linda Kerley--who used to live next door--cooks beans every Wednesday. I do the cornbread and feel somewhat useful. Last week, someone had gone to the grocery store for me and bought cornmeal mix instead of cornmeal. I didn't notice on the package and made the cornbread as usual. It was so bad we couldn't eat it. I threw it out. I don't even know if I can cook anymore???
Becky--my daughter invites me over regularly or sends a plate. BBQ ribs, asparagus risotto, grilled hamburgers.
I'm eating better than ever. What a blessing. I keep thinking, "Somewhere in my Youth or Childhood, I Must Have Done Something Good?" (Along with Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music)
