We picked up Emily at the airport last night - non-stop from Raleigh-Durham to STL. That AA flight will soon be canceled, and we won't be able to go non-stop from here to there for her May graduation from Duke. But in the meantime, it was a quick flight for her, and we were so happy to see her smiling face coming down the concourse.
Awaiting us at home was a big pot of leftover beef bourguignon, and Steve made some creamy parmesan polenta to go with it! Soon Max arrived, too, and our little family of four sat around the dining table as in days gone by. Smiling and laughing, planning our holiday doings, it could not have been more pleasant.
After dinner, we shared in watching the Top Chef Reunion show. Even though Max and Em had not followed that show, it was fun to watch the clips and make our observations about the chefs and their triumphs and travails.
It is little things like last evening that make me appreciate my loving family.
