On Sunday evening, Kev and I came home from a hard day's work* to a house that smelled sooooo good!!! Joyce had went over to her garden and did some weeding and harvesting. She had dinner ready for us! She got a recipe for green beans off the internet, with sauted onions and mushrooms and spices. It was wonderful. She also made new potatoes, which were done perfectly. And she made rice almondine, which was also great. And the table was set so pretty! With a pretty blue glass vase filled with zinnias from her garden.
I was so proud of her. It was the first time that she's made dinner all by herself with me not even home. I'm proud that she's able to do all of that, and do it so well, but I'm also torn... my baby girl's a young woman now. I told her she's just going to have to plan to live with me forever. Adulthood or not.
*Kev's regular schedule called for him to work day-12's this past weekend, and since I am so very far behind on things at work, I just rode in with him and worked 12's myself on Saturday and Sunday. And since he's got day-12's all this week to cover for someone on vacation, I did it again Monday and today. I couldn't Tuesday or Wednesday because Sam's football practices started. 12-hour shifts are hard! Ugh. Not doing it tomorrow, though.
My dad goes in for back surgery tomorrow at 3 pm. He's been working on updating his will all this week, and it's just plain freaking me out.
