Home at last! (Or at least, back to Rochester where all my stuff is). I had left the apartment bereft of food supplies, seeing no need to stock the shelves before heading out. There were other more important things to see to.
We arrived home around noon. Kiel had been right. It was a mere 2 hours to Rochester. But so much easier to navigate in broad daylight without the snow. We unloaded the car, picked up Christmas gifts my sister had brought here from Mom's, then headed to Wegmans for a shelf stocking party.
I ask the question: What do you want for dinner? It is, after all, New Year's Eve. We should do something special. The boys decide on steak, baked potatoes, brussel sprouts, sparkling grape juice, and cream puffs for dessert (the cheesecake is too expensive).
Wegmans is packed to the gills. Every single checkout is manned with lines stretching down the aisles. The parking lot is so full you have to circle for minutes before someone pulls out to make space for you. You could spend a whole day and a million dollars here and get anything your heart desires, regardless of the season. It seems somehow amazing that I have access to all this wonderful food. I have had seasons of lack in my life. I have supported food banks from both sides, donor and recipient. But here I am in a season of sufficiency, making choices about food based on desire and not need. How great is that!
I am happy to gather up the bags of food we have selected and head home for a feast. What a wonderful place we live in. I neither planted nor tended nor harvested these things, but I will TOTALLY enjoy them. Yes, I will pray for those in need too. May God be as gracious to them as He has been to me. And may I be a bit more generous in my next check to Samaritan's Purse for those needing the blessing.
A wonderful conclusion to a productive year of good recovery.
