Son-in-law Devours Spaghetti

Last night, Jodi calls and asks if she and the kids can come spend a couple of hours here since their house was being shown twice between 3-6 p.m. When I said of course, she immediately asked what I was planning for dinner. I had taken out some spaghetti sauce out of the freezer to fix for Randy and I, so I just added more sauce, bell pepper, onion and a little “spinach mixture” that I had in the fridge that I stuff mushrooms with. That was a great addition, by the way to the sauce. Anyway, when Eric got off work, he headed over here and by that time, Jodi had left the kids here and headed off to a meeting, so it was Randy, I, Eric and the kids. As soon as Jodi returned, she ate and left with Caleb to head home to give him a bath and put him to bed, leaving Eric here with Jaden. It was just so nice that Eric was here and we enjoyed visiting with him and Jaden. I was sitting there thinking about that and how we don’t have many opportunities to just visit with our son-in-law. What a blessing it is to have him feel comfortable to be here without Jodi and to sit and just visit. We get to hear from him (now Jodi, this is not saying that you monopolize the conversation) and he and Randy just had a nice time talking about work and children and it made me realize that when Jodi and I are here at the same time, we do overpower the topics of conversation and they always are kind enough to just let us dominate the table. So Eric…….thank you for coming over, thank you for taking the time to just sit and visit and share with us your interests and questions concerning work. What a nice memory it created for us all. We love you and thank you for your friendship…..it was a very nice evening! (and now, I don’t have leftover spaghetti to try to use up over the next couple of days).HA
