My Live-In Chef
My wife's father is in town for a visit. He is helping Joi through a difficult time. While we LOVE visitors, we have a small house, so guests can be...challenging and sometimes stressful for us and for them. However, George has been a wonderful guest. He has spent a lot of time playing and interacting with the boys. He has been a great help to Joi around the house and being a support for her. But, the best part is....he is an early riser. He gets up at 4am or earlier, has some coffee, and then gets busy making breakfast. One morning when I woke up and went down stairs for my usual bowl of cereal, I found homemade french toast and eggs waiting for me. The french toast was made from that special cinnamon swirl bread and raisin bread with brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. It was scrumptious! This morning he made me "Four Men on a Raft" (eggs over easy over toasted bread). This beats the crap out of my usual bowl of cereal. It's been nice. I won't be losing any weight this week, but what a treat it has been. I like having a live-in chef. When I get rich, I'll have to get me one of those. I'm sure Joi would appreciate it, too. They'd have to know how to make sushi, though. That's a major requirement. All in all, I have really enjoyed having George with us this week. I am thankful that he dropped everything to come out to help my wife and I am thankful for the breakfasts.

How nice. I hope Joi is doing alright. I'll send a little prayer her way. Take care.
P.S. we are expecting a foot of snow this weekend, I'm not exactly doing the happy dance right now. So far though it is snow flurries just above us but we haven't even had a drop of rain. We'll see what happends while I'm sleeping.
