Just a few weeks ago Pat and I were cruising around Tampa Bay enjoying the fair weather and lovely sand beaches. Today nearly all the football fans of the nation have their attention directed to the stadium we drove by on our way to a lovely dinner. I'd much rather be dining out with my husband than sitting at a ballgame! In honor of my Arizona people and my mom's birthday today----go Cardinals!
We had a fun family dinner last night here at the condo. It was a Ham Ball extravaganza! For those of you who do not know about ham balls, it's a magical mix of ground meat from the LaSalle Locker plant to which a few ingredients are added, made into meatballs, special sauce poured over the top and baked for 1 1/2 hours. It is just the best! Hanna and Mike came over and of course Aly was home for the weekend so the 5 of us enjoyed a fantastic dinner.
Sunday's quote from anais nin;
I know why families were created with all their imperfections. They humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself occasionally, so that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed.
And from T.S. Eliot;
There's no vocabulary
For love within a family, love that's lived in
But not looked at, love within the light of which
All else is seen, the love within which
All other love finds speech.
This love is silent.
Only 14 more days until we leave for Phoenix. I'm especially happy to be preparing for this trip because the winter has been unusually long. I've loaded the bed with stacks of summer clothes. I'll be having a fashion show tonight while watching for the Superbowl commercials. Patrick will be with his good friend Joe in Chicago tonight as he makes his way east for business appointments. Travel safely honey!
