In the meantime

I think I’ve gotten into a rut (but I don’t think it is a bad rut…at least not yet.)  Let me explain. I’ve had an ongoing, weekly,  problem:  What to make for Sunday lunch?  If I don’t have something planned for lunch on Sunday, it easily becomes one of those my-brain-isn’t-working moments after we get home from church...  So every week, come Saturday night (or if I really am organized, sometimes Saturday morning or afternoon), I try to think ahead to what should I make for lunch on Sunday?   Oh what to make?!? (That's every housewife’s never-ending struggle, right???  My husband frequently marvels at how “easily” I come up with something to eat…  Haha! Little does he know that I’ve only been slightly obsessing about it in my mind for who knows how long, desperately trying to come up with something-- anything-- that is edible to put on the table!) Anyway, I have a few [subconscious] prerequisites for meals that work for Sunday ...

These are our "OK, Hazel!  You can come any day now!!!  Have I mentioned we are suuuper, duper, incredibly excited to meet you?!?!?" faces.                                                  38 1/2 weeks (on 7/9)
