I enjoyed Stephanie's last post about their family dinners. Gathering for dinner is one of the things my husband and I are proud of insisting on as much as possible. We don't even answer the phone during meals. Our motto is that if it's important, they'll leave a message. I'm not nearly as good on the meal planning as my sister. I try for a while, and love how much easier it is to shop with a plan. Eventually I fall off the wagon again and struggle to make dinner. Spaghetti is our standby when all else fails. We still enjoy spaghetti, so it's all good! One thing that derails my meal planning is the appearance of fresh game. We love venison in many forms, goose, duck and fish. It's all best fresh, so my best laid plans are happily put aside when fresh,local food becomes available! Here is the scene in my driveway last night: David somehow finds time to hunt, fish, go to school and run. He's got amazing energy. We are looking forward to watching him run this weekend at the Milaca Mega Meet. My niece, Lauren, will also be running. There are usually close to 150 teams participating. We are hoping for good weather which makes it way more fun for spectators.
While I wish I did a better job on meal planning, I'm going to continue to enjoy the surprise walleye, deer or water fowl that end up on my table. I'm going to enjoy a long run Saturday morning before the Mega Meet, then will willingly rack up thousands of steps watching the teenage racers. They do have an "Old Timers" race for coaches, parents, etc. I'd be delighted to pay Stephanie's entry fee if she wants to run!!!
