• the remarkably courteous Staples cashier with the keenly intelligent eyes (he is destined for better things, I am sure of it).
• offering the harried and impatient woman on line behind me at John's (our CSA farmer) my place in line. she declined and visibly calmed down...I could see her letting something go.
• Gem digging this song and singing it out loud, a cappella.
• the twinkling smile of the Vacchiano Farm matriarch as she totaled the meat that will nourish me this week...in her head rather than with the adding machine her youngers all use.
• the horrific auto accident that almost happened one car in front of us (I had Gem and Daniel in the car). *shudder*
• rubbing a mixture of two spice mixes, Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper onto a big ass piece of pork shoulder. (to be slow cooked tomorrow.)
• sitting with Gem as he cried and whined and got some sticky messy emotion out.
• bite after bite of delectable roasted broccoli (roasted with bacon and garlic and olive oil).
• Applegate Organic Uncured Thick Cut Bacon. (incredibly tasty.)
• hearing the kids laugh out loud while watching Zookeeper with Owen while I cooked up broccoli and kale for me and meat sauce for them.
• Gem's moans of pleasure as he dug into his meat sauce and rice.
• Sag jamming on his electric guitar.
• Gem's antics in the movie they shot today.
• hearing this song for the first time in sooooo long, thanks to a friend posting it on Facebook:
• creative juices flowing:
Back to the tomorrow-there's-gonna-be-a- gaggle-of-kids-here preparations...love and light to you.
