As evidenced above, there is nothing wacky about Richard’s family…especially the ones from Philly.
We walked to the Twin Cities Marketto in Jersey City this morning to pick up the salmon steaks for Easter dinner. Meredith and Richard have invited 24+ for this intimate gathering. We walked back with two collapsible shopping cart things laden with food, wine and beer to the point that the carts nearly did collapse. Did it cost a fortune? Did the plastic nearly melt? Don’t ask…we can always eat the leftovers.
Upon return, we got out sheets and towels for the overnight guests, made up the pull-out couch, and around 3 p.m. Jerry, Anne, Nell, and Will arrived from Philadelphia. Jerry and Anne are both creative professionals from advertising and publishing respectively. Nell and Will are just darn nice kids – smart, creative, unusually nice kids.
Food prep was in full swing, but we did allow time to visit, drink a little wine and to order pizza.
