Dinner and great company

Omg. Dinner was fabulous. My sister and I went food shopping ( A chore that I could just skip). Did I mention I hate cooking urghhhhhhh!!!!.Who needs that when you can order out? Yeah I sound so spoiled. Yet I really am not. I am just saying, lol. Anyway she loves to cook. I guess this is one of the perks since she has moved in with us. We had a friend over and we sat in our city balcony and boy did it feel like we were on vacation. We light candle lights and we sat at our new outdoor table . While we were on vacation she bought us this table and great chairs to go with it. Since I knew it would be tight in our living room with her and the two dogs I tried to make as much room as I could for her. My husband and I temporarily stored our dining room chairs at my brother's house. Thank God our apartment is not too small ( by nyc standards anyway). So we got rid of all the things on one side of the living room and put her bed there, a night stand, her vanity and a big wardrobe for her clothes. I was surprised that so much could fit in that space. What's amazing is that we still have our living room section with sofa and Television. She really made it look homey. She has that gift of making things look special. She can take any room and make it look like it came out of a page in the Pottery Barn catalog. I am flawed out how we have managed to fit three people, two dogs, and my rabbit in an apartment, that is why the song says New York if you can make it there you can make it anywhere! Well dinner and great company temporarily took my blues away so I am grateful for this "pocket" of normalcy. I can breathe for a bit and I will not think of tomorrow when it starts all over again. For now I will enjoy "my dulce vida".

P.s I donated my balcony bench to the garden down the street. The ladies were happy to see it. We immediately set it up. It looks like it belonged there all a long. Although I was sad to see it go. I am comforted that it will be under the stars tonight and it is now surrounded by flowers and pretty trees. I will take a picture of it's new home and put it up.
