It is good to be back home. The funeral was happy and sad: happy because Lewella lived such a full life and slipped into God's hand so peacefully and sad, because we will miss her. I smiled and cried through it all.
My Mom was so glad to see us come home, as we've been gone almost a week and she misses her friend, Lewella. May, 98, and Lewella, 101, had been constant companions ever since Mom came to live with us all, a year and a half ago. Mom, affectionately, refers to me now as her mother because I am her caretaker. It is a roll reversal that feels okay.
I will have to send you the recipe I promised you Pasta with Broccoli and Pine Nuts tomorrow as I can't quite figure out my scanner ( I had help from 16yr old, Josh on the last scanned recipes and unfortunately he has already gone to bed as it is almost 11:30).
While in Ct our whole family stayed at Lewella's summer cottage and I was able to cook them Bill's Roasted Vegetable Stew pg 135. It was greatly enjoyed by all. I increased the recipe by 1/2 and it fed eight. It was the perfect meal for this occasion as it made us all feel warm, cozy and well fed. I rated it check++.
Last night, Sam and I treated ourselves to some R & R at the Red Lion Inn, Stockbridge, Ma. Tomorrow, I will tell you about the incredible, vegan meal they served us. Have you ever been there??????
