My mother-in-law is coming for a visit. It’s her second trip to Texas since we moved here a few years ago. This adorable Sam lookalike (see for yourself) will arrive around 6 p.m. Saturday for eight days of fun, naps, home-cooked dinners and long walks with her exceptionally tall and precious son. We honestly don’t plan anything too exciting when mom’s here because we mostly love to just hang out and eat grapes in the family room, but this year we’ve got a few interesting restaurants on our “do” list and I’m almost positive that Sam’s counting on another visit to the art museum, which they definitely enjoyed last fall. We also go for a lot of rides to nowhere in particular.
My only big responsibility in all this is to make up the bed in the guest room, reorganize the pantry and plan a few meals. So far my list includes Marcy’s Private Recipe Chili, something Italian and probably pot roast, all of which provide enough leftovers to feed us more than once. This is a perfect example of classy thinking and brilliant homemaking.
For those of you who love a good celebration, tomorrow is National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day. You might have a problem finding a Hallmark card for this one, however. Thank you.
