Today my mom and John arrive in Philadelphia after driving across the country from Seattle. They'll take the train back home, as the plan is to leave their SUV here so we can drive it back come November. It's larger and plusher than our car which will make for a more comfortable ride, especially now that I'll be 26 weeks along.
We have a lot of fun activities planned during their visit including a nice trip out of town, but tonight, after they settle in to their hotel and rest, we're making dinner at our house. We're going to have spinach dip with homemade pita chips (not the usual recipe but a great dressed up one from Everyday Food), spatchcocked chicken with garbanzo beans, cilantro and lime, rice and salad. For dessert, last night I whipped up (literally) a blackberry fool that looks fantastic!
So looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and enjoying our time together!

ReplyDeleteHope you guys all have a great time there!
what a faithful car our suv has been. lots of moves.... topsoil, compost,and manure hauling, hauling hundreds of potted plants,work crews for church,road trips,lawnmower moving, wedding presents, a cat hotel during remodeling, emergency snow transport, you name it. we will miss it while it is gone but happy to lend a good snow car for your november move! true meaning of utility vehicle.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say you're 26 weeks along, I am assuming you're pregnant and, if so, how fun it's going to be stepping into a new life adventure for you and Gus.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and fun return to the NW and tell Gus he'll always have a new experience and story to tell you when he returns home from work each day at Harborview.
Thanks for joining my blog. It's so much fun to have a blog to show my artwork. I am also a member of another blog of gals on the island. You have to browse through it and be sure to check out the other blog links listed on it. I could spend hours looking at all the sketches other people draw on these links.
Just goggle Whidbey Island Sketchers
