Suprise Anniversary Dinner

April 22: 16 friends of my mom and dad gathered in our little townhouse to surprise and honor my parents for 25 years of faithfulness in marriage.

Thanks so much to my husband for his support and for washing 100 (or more) dishes and to Brandon & Chad for throwing this party with me. No dinner would have happened with the help of Sarah, Kathy, and Kelly. Thanks for letting me raid your kitchens, for the recipes, and inspiration.

This blog is in honor of devotion, love and God's grace as my parents celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary Today

How can two souls stay by each other's side for so long?
Not straying towards one's own lusts or desires,
but staying firm.
Choosing to love, and not take.
Deciding to sacrifice for the other and not grow bitter.
Sharing hurt, tears, laughter, memories.
Can anyone know keeps them entwined?
Can any onlooker fathom their bond?
No, it is for them to keep
As a secret
Close to their hearts to stay
till death bear them to part...
but not for long.

Babkah Anyone?

Easter 07

Polish Babkah bread takes about 6 hours to make- and must be made. So, Rose cooked all Good Friday and Jesse kept the beer coming (no decent Polish chef cooks without a beer in hand!). Saturday we traveled up to New Jersey to keep Rose's grandpa company for the holiday. Highlights were Catholic Mass, lamb cake made in the toaster oven (Grandpa's oven had a gas leak), and Mexican train dominoes late into the early morning. Oh, and we can't forget the fact the Jesse is a master egg hider, he buried the eggs- no one could find them. One had a 5 dollar bill if you want to go dig up grandpa's gardens. So Happy Easter everyone and God bless you on the day we celebrate Jesus overcoming death to give us hope of eternal life!!

Happy Birthday My Love!
How good God is to let us see another year go by knowing that we spent it together. There is no other person I would rather watch time go by with.


So Jesse is now 28. And yes, I missed posting these birthday wishes on his exact time of birth, but that's ok, because if you ask him, this week is "Birthday Week".
