Yesterday was a little crazy for me. I'm not sure if I mentioned I'm nannying now for a family - it's going very well and I really enjoy it, and I'm sure I'll write more soon. However, something was in the air on Thursday and by the time I left the house, I was really drained.
When I got home, I was surprised to see Matt's truck in the driveway. As I opened the car door, I gave the air a sniff. It was just like a little cartoon mouse sniffing the wavy lines of cartoon smells wafting from the pie on the windowsill. In my case, the scent was coming from our porch. Matt was grilling dinner.
I'll tell you later about how we got the grill.
The point right now is that I couldn't have been ANY happier.
Turns out while I was making spaghetti-o's and helping with homework, Matt was driving to every gas station in the three villages to find propane. Of course he ended up at the WalMarts, where all good things come at happy whistly prices. Then he had to go buy some meats (like Mother Hubbard, our fridge is bare) and had it all going by the time I dragged myself home.
I decided to lie in the grass and stare at the trees while Matt finished our meal.
Me: exhausted and content starting at trees.
Matt: made the marinade.
Me: looking at the sky.
Matt: checking on his kabobs.
Of course helper is never far behind.
Table for two, please.
Or three.

Looks delicious! I can't wait to hear more about the family, I feel like I haven't heard how that is going at all..
seems like a great way to start a weekend! I think you've acquired a few interesting things (the organ!) in these past few months. Look forward to the stories. Glad you're liking the nannying so far!
Seriously...I commented on the finds first, and then read this entry! Your life continues to be dreamy. I would LOVE to eat kabobs on the grill. Oh what I have to look forward to this summer. Your table for two look so romantic for just being a fun Thursday-new Friday. Glad to hear the nannying is going well so far. How many kids?
