Karen’s Birthday
Celebration
Today was an exceptional day!
We had to postpone our friend Karen’s birthday celebration
until today because her mom was in town, so today she came with her family to
our house in Decatur. We always enjoy
our time with the Kraegers, and today was no exception.
Peter outdid himself in serving a wonderful appetizer of
cheese, salami and his famous capanatta that Enzo taught him in Italy (made
with eggplant and lots of other veggies). This was followed by a delicious
sausage stew, then dessert alla Monica of gelato and blackberries. Needless to
say, we did not go hungry. Hans was so satisfied that he found a comfortable
chair and fell asleep for 2 hours! That’s good sleeping!
Since it was raining by that time, we didn’t get to take a
walk around Decatur. We did, however, enjoy talking about everything under the
sun. Before we knew it, it was time for supper, so Peter pulled some of his
famous chili out of the freezer. We started all over again, this time ending
with a chocolate salami and the rest of our gelato! What another splendid meal!
Thanks for joining us for this special birthday celebration
for Karen, all of you! It was delightful! We believe in keeping birthdays going
long after the birth day.
Love to all,
Colleen
