Full Circle Moment

I needed this tonight. I had myself a full childhood circle moment.

When I was very little, five or six years old, we would visit my grandparents house, they had a pantry with dutch doors and Chris (my younger brother) and I used to play restaurant and grocery store in it all the time.

I never forgot the fun we had and when Guy and I started designing our house I knew it had to have a pantry and I insisted on dutch doors just like my grandma had. The builder couldn’t find any and tried to talk me out of them but it was a nonnegotiable for me so he created them for us. I knew one day our grandchildren would use their imagination in the pantry and make the same memories I have.

Tonight our pantry became a “dinner and drink” restaurant. Benjamin was the chef and the drink maker. Avery took the orders and delivered the waters. I ordered $1 water and the free beans. The rest of the menu was out of my price range LOL.

My heart is full.
