I don't set a table as often as I would like to...but, hmmm...maybe that's what makes it so special. I just love the quiet anticipation. The patient beauty of it.
I baked a GFCF carrot cake tonight. To celebrate V's arrival and to celebrate Cap's birthday (carrot cake is his favorite). The raspberries were spotted by V in the supermarket this afternoon. Gem, a fellow lover of raspberries, was thrilled.

I forget. Why do you have a guest? She's the daughter of a friend or something like that?
You have it just right. V's mom, J, was an AFS exchange student to my high school. She came from Switzerland and lived for a year with my best friend's family.
We became, and then remained, good friends.
J now lives in Lima with her husband (who is Peruvian), V, and V's two brothers.
V wanted to go abroad during her summer break and though NJ wasn't her first choice, she agreed with her parents that staying with friends beat doing a home stay with strangers, for this trip.
So, she's with us for a month. She is so easygoing and happy to be here with us. I think the month is going to zip by!
Oh, now I know who this is....J. is the one I visited in Switzerland on the way to Italy. Correct? Oh my.

Yes! Sorry it's a little cumbersome...this trying to give some more privacy to innocent bystanders of my life, here on my blog... :-)
