Spoke-N-Sants online: NOW THAT'S A DINNER!

FROM MEG:

"I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation."

NOW THAT'S A DINNER!

My friend Laura Schurtz picked up her stuff from staging my house and fixing it after the stager tried. As she was leaving with her truck fill of beautiful stuff she said, "Let me bring you dinner tonight." I am learning to suck it up and receive service so I said, "Thanks, that would be really nice."

Fettuccine alfredo and chicken.

Spinach and strawberry salad.

Let's not forget the watermelon chunks.

And some chocolate chip cookies.

And how did I miss a picture of the crusty bread? Oh, we all ate until we rolled away from the table. Thanks so much Laura!
