Grace

Last night when my Blackberry buzzed next to the keyboard where I was working, I reflexively punched the button to read the incoming text from Uschi:
Dec 21, 2009 6:57:06 PM
do you have something planned for dinner tomorrow?
Thinking that she was planning a girls' night out, I answered back with a question:
Dec 21, 2009 6:59:09 PM
Nooo, what's up?
Almost immediately the reply came back:
Dec 21, 2009 6:59:19 PM
I would like to bring you dinner if that's ok...It's just some german stuff. How many people do you have?


That's my sweet friend, Uschi - always surprising me with her easy-going generosity and thoughtfulness: grace exemplified. When I grow up, I want to be as gracious and kind as she.


Tonight, after her busy day as owner of BareWare Pottery Studio, she and second (of five!) son Patrick delivered a German feast . Oh, my goodness! Such bounty! Wiener Schnitzel, spaetzle, cabbage, salad, and (drum roll, please) tiramisu! Just OMG! Did I also mention that everything was delicious? Have a look:
