The boys went golfing in the morning, and JJ and I went shopping for dinner. Since the boys are, well, boys .... there was not much for food in the refrigerator. There was beer, ketchup, and some other yummy treats. Not that I have a lot of room for this judgement, I in fact had none.
Sis and I had arrived in Eugene just a few days earlier on our grand Peace Love and Coffee Tour. Guess what was in our fridge? Coffee, ketchup, and some various staples. :) We had already run out of money and had just enough gas to plant ourselves in Eugene .... but the stories that came from that experience are priceless and are full of laughter and tears.We made an arrangement, us girls and those charming boys. They would pay for the food and we would prepare the feast! Perfect! They also provided us with a warm place to hang out, shower, and call home for a bit. Thanks Jakie, Clay, Casey and Scott!

It was such a humbling experience for a mama to have these young adults provide the financial support for a holiday meal. But how grateful I was for them, for the food, and for the opportunity to cook for them. We had NFL, turkey, mashed potatoes, and homemade pecan pie! Yum!
In radical appreciation for this day,
Lisa
