You've heard of the lull between the storms? Today was like that - the lull between the guests. Yesterday we were 15 together for dinner, tomorrow it will be nine of us for lunch. A few repeats but mostly another set of relatives. This time all in the under 30 category.
Today we ran the dishwasher for the last time from yesterday's meal, put away all the fine china and silver, made sure there is a clean tablecloth on the large dining room table and set out casual crockery dishes with a Christmas motif to use for tomorrow's buffet style service.
Lunch tomorrow will be a much more casual affair. Mainly because most of the attendees will be my grandchildren and their significant others, one of whom is the mommy of my great-grandson-to-be, and another who is the "getting serious" boyfriend of my youngest granddaughter.
But about that lull, today actually was a restful day. I did have time to read and relax, spend time on the phone with my west coast brother and his spouse before they took off to go roller skating, and enjoy some of the tasty treats that were brought to us yesterday.
All in all a fine in-between day.
