Yum!It was spaghetti night last night. The whole house was infused with the aroma of fresh garlic, onion, basil, tomato sauce and garlic bread. You would be lucky to have been here at Bob's Bistro But this is not really about spaghetti.
This is about a splendidly simple good and kind man. He takes such care in all he does. As I watched him standing at the counter chopping each vegetable just so it struck me as if were in some deep profound culinary dream. I must have been starving!
I often wonder why I draw on such seemingly insignificant moments in my life and put them out there for the world to see. I do think we all have these warm simple moments though and should recognize them. Most often they slip away with the vapors of the boiling pot. Maybe my uncomplicated life brings a keen insight into these moments.
We all also have those frustrating and annoying moments with those we love as well. I may notice and dwell on that another day.
I am hoping to make reservations at Bob's Bistro the end of February, if there is a table open. I could almost smell the sauce simmering.
ReplyDeleteDiane, this was another beautiful post and sweet tribute to Bob. Yes, he is a splendid man. Your reflections make me aware of how good and kind my own husband is and how he expresses his love through the many small things he does for me and the moments we share. Thank you for the post.
Yummm for the food, yummm for the man! He is a sweetie and takes such good care of things. He's pretty handy with the dust buster too - I witnessed it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWhat you call the seemingly insignificant moments are wonderful reminders of the entire package, good, great and not so much!
Keep writing girlies - it's good stuff.
Susie - where are you?
After speaking with all of you yesterday, I realized your lives are so full of meaningful activities, vacations and fun things to do, I better hold these random moments dear.
