9/11/2018 Caring Bridge

Journal entry by Al Negstad — 9 minutes ago
    Yes, we did it!  The dinner was fun because the guests are fun and they love being together.  They were ones who would never second guess any of my hosting faux pas.  It was an awesome evening, so much like those at which Joanne presided.  She would be pleased and perhaps surprised.
    No one noticed but I am guilty of one serious omission.  In honor of Joanne's mother, I planned to garnish the platter of chicken with parsley.  Don't you suppose I forgot to get the parsley?   We used to tease mother-in-law about her "precious parsley"   for whom it was a must.  Tonight my guests were far to polite to mention my error.
    So, I'm glad I decorated for Christmas and the plan to invite guests is working as I hoped.  Even in the land of grief life can be good.  Sure do to miss her though.

Blessings,

Al
