If you live in the CSRA you may think I am going to talk about the Thanksgiving meals prepared and delivered to needy families by area churches. I’m not. The dinner of love I’m referring to is the dinner my sweet husband, Don, prepared tonight for my birthday. To really understand how special that is, you have to know a little about him. He is, I guess you would say, culinary challenged. He hates (and I do mean hates) cooking. To him, warming leftovers in the microwave is cooking. I had to teach my sons, at an early age, how to cook so they could prepare a meal if I was going to be away. (That’s no joke.) However….Tonight Don prepared an entire meal for us. He went to the store, bought all the food, and then baked the lasagna, washed the lettuce & tomatoes & boiled the eggs for the salad, and baked Texas Toast. (He did ask Jonathan to grate the eggs & cut up the vegetables for the salad and my daughter-in-law to bake a cake.) He even bought me a personal size vegetable lasagna! THEN…after the meal he cleaned up the dishes! Now how’s that for a dinner of love? My sons & daughter-in-law added to the dinner of love with their sweet gifts. (I received $90.00 in Starbucks gift cards, plus other gifts.) PLUS…Don bought me a bouquet of flowers. I feel really loved right now. It’s been a great day!
