Cold Jealousy

Work took me to Spokane for a couple of nights last week so I had the good fortune to visit my mother and father in-law.  Darrin was SO jealous!  I had the most incredible visit with them - Dixie made a fantastic dinner (and I took home a new recipe) plus apple pie for dessert, I slept like a baby, and then had breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast (homemade bread!) with them before I headed back to our project site. 

I felt so comfortable there, and it dawned on me, Dixie shows love the way I do - through her cooking!  I felt so loved and comforted because Dixie did for me what I do for my kids, making delicious homemade, fresh cooking.  I hope my kids appreciate me as much as I appreciated dinner with Digger and Dixie!  It was also so much fun to just relax and chit chat with them, catching up from the last few months. 

But I came home with a new wish - for Darrin to build me a cold room.  I am SO jealous of Dixie's cold room, and of its contents.  Everything in her cold room was canned straight from her garden or local produce.  Look how beautiful this is!

Of course, I am also quite jealous of their view in Washington, too. 

I could have stayed five more days with treatment like this. But I think Darrin would have cried foul for sure!
