We were waiting on our lovely roasted vegetables to be done roasting. Sweet potatoes, red potatoes, carrots, and sweet onions. All roasting away in one big pot with some olive oil. The filet mignon was prepped and ready to go in as soon as the vegetables came out. The salad had been prepared, and was just needing one final touch. Olives.
My sister and I saw this as an opportunity. We needed olives. Also, some crusty bread to soak up all the goodness on our plates. Our babies were fed and happy. Casey and Adelyn were watching a movie. All the pieces fell into place for us to escape.
It was only 10 minutes, maybe 15. But, they were sweet. It is so rare to escape during the day. It seems so funny, to be so excited to go to the grocery store. But we were.
I was thankful for the short escape today, but I was happy to return home. It was fun to be alone with Patty for a few, but it is even more fun to be alone with a house full of people. For me, that's the best escape. Thankful for family.
