Bike, Climb & Cook
On Sunday, Chris, Hannah, and I biked to Camelback Mountain and then hiked up a bit (probably less than half way). This was my first time on Camelback and it was a gorgeous, gorgeous view. A few pictures from our short climb.
We got home and Chris made breakfast burritos. Yum! Then Hannah and I spent the rest of the day making lasagna and cookies. We were cooking for a couple friends - one recently had surgery and the other has a family member in the hospital. It's hard to know how to help people when they're going through tough times. When I was growing up, my mother always cooking dinner for other families who were going through hard times. So I took her example to do a little something that hopefully conveys love and care for my friends.
Thanks, Mom, for being a great example! Thanks, Hannah for being a great cooking partner and friend!
Awesome photos! You and Mama Lucci inspired me today!
As someone whose family has been going through a rough time lately (grandfather died), let me just tell you that FOOD IS CRUCIAL. My mom cooked for my grandmother for the time that my granddad was in the hospital, and she said over and over how helpful it was.
Then, the night before the funeral, my mom's two best friends showed up with two big 9x13 pans. One had homemade enchiladas and one had homemade lasagna. Those two dishes have gotten us through the last few days, and it has been so nice not to have to worry about meal planning as we have tended to all of the zillion details and distractions of this busy time. So cook, cook away! I know that in the future, as soon as I hear someone's in a rough spot, I'm getting on casserole duty immediately!
Great pics, btw!
Abby, I'm so sorry to hear about your family's loss. I'm glad that you have people around to show their love and concern for you.
