A Perfect Friday Night

Audrey and I arrived at Li'l Sister's house around 1:30. We were getting together to cook and can. She had red peppers that we roasted, tomatoes that we sauced, and loads of basil we turned into pesto. While we did not come away with enough to last the winter, more likely the week, we had an afternoon of laughter, cooking, good smells, kids in and out, a party in the basement (it was the debut of "High School Musical 2"). Emma came out to join the party. Nothing is better than good food, laughter, good wine, the noise of happy kids. I came home with the feeling that it was a perfect evening, that warm fuzzy feeling (no it was not the wine), a sense of pure contentment.
