| Vintage dinner bell on the porch at Mrs. White's home. |
It is late afternoon and getting close to the supper hour. It is time for me to get motivated, put on an apron and start peeling potatoes and create a delicious meal.
But first, I want to visit with you! I am going to have a little tea in a china tea cup, with a saucer underneath. I am going to rest with a pleasant book and sip on my tea, while enjoying the quiet of this summer afternoon in Vermont.
I need to set up a pretty table cloth and make the effort to create a haven here at home.
Then I will do a little laundry and begin working in my kitchen. My children are all being delightful today. They are quiet and productive. I think it helps that we have a three story house, 14 rooms and 2 acres of land. There is plenty for them to do. I think I will send them outside for a game while I prepare the evening meal. Then I will surprise them by going on my front porch and ringing our dinner bell so they come running! I do so love to see their smiling faces when they run towards me.
What are you making for supper?
Blessings
Mrs. White

ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautifully expressive way of writing! I think I'm having leftovers...potato/hot dog casserole; tomato/cucumber/bell peper/onion salad with poppy seed dressing, minus the poppy seeds; homemade bread; blackberries or peaches for dessert.
