We got a wonderful surprise yesterday. Our grand-neice Kate, whom we had planned to visit in Dublin last spring but couldn't, is spending the next ten days with us at our house! She had a sudden change of plans and is able to stay here until her departure back to PA on the 28th of this month. So this "old folks" house is being turned into a haven of activity!
Since we left in midafternoon to pick Kate up at Canyon Lake, my sweet friends, Lois and Doug, offered to take Treasure to her appointment with Dr. Earl for her eye exam. Conveniently, they had to bring Treasure home around dinnertime so, what's a hostess to do but put all her guests to work in the kitchen! Meredith and Kate started chopping tomatoes in preparation for some delicious bruschetta, Lois brushed the bread with garlic, I called in a take-out pizza and we were all set for supper!
Here are Meredith (and Andrew) putting a little pepper in the mixture. Also had a little feta cheese - one of her cooking staples!
Kate is still chopping while Lois checks on the bread toasting.The guys were playing with Adrian in the family room, so I thought the best thing to do was to stay out of their way! I hope this is just the first of many fun meals while Kate is here.
