As I sit by the window at my desk in 2 degree temperatures, I’ve been forced to put on a sweater and shoes just to be here.
One thing my parents taught me is to welcome guests. Of course since you read this you know about my cookbook recommendations, pantry staples and recipes.
Welcoming is about more than that, like in a hurricane you make breakfast for friends and let them use your shower because they have no water.
You open your doors for anyone in distress, and anyone who doesn’t have a family for a holiday dinner.
You take care of the neighbor’s cat while they’re out of town. Neighbors invite you for dessert on Christmas day.
At 6:30 a.m. I have to take the dog out and it’s 2 degrees outside. She will be wearing her coat and I’ll be layering several. We probably won’t meet many other dogs but she would welcome most as friends, not the few that want to kill her.
A gal is coming to dinner tonight with her dog and we will be welcoming. She’ll be eating my chili and giving her opinions. Dee
