Sara slept well last night for the first time in weeks. Yesterday we had a crab boil dinner party at 'Mom's Place' with some of Sara's favorite foods, a little wine and a few of Dave and Nancy's friends. Having been told to "make yourself at home" we've moved over our barbeque ensemble, our taste for fine dining and our appetite for festive gathering. We've moved in, in spirit. We found an electrical outlet near the water fountain and plugged-in Mom's boom-box, and cranked-out the Sweet Adelines music and Mom sang along. It's so wonderful that she can recall her musicality- lyrics and all! Dave boiled 5 Dungeness Crab that he caught with his credit card at the seafood market and barbequed six chicken breasts. Mom's spirits were high! She slept well last night and today was another glorious day.
It was since Mom had moved to the North Coast of Oregon that we became seafood afficianatos, in fact- The first crab we had ever caught was right off the bridge in Seaside Oregon.
See the yellowish-tint to the crab water? That's 1/3 cheap white wine by volume! The crabs cook up so much more sweet, and their shells fall right-off.
Good food and music are some of Mom's favorite things! We're so fortunate to be able to share these treasures with Sara. We love you. Mom.
