Home, the scene was chaotic.
Dozens of pairs of shoes were strewn about the
Foyer along with coats piled on chairs or
Dropped on the floor.
Children were rushing about while grown ups
Were eating at tables stretched out in
Every available spot.
It was a new year's tradition at the
Couple's house:
Invite neighbors and friends to a
Pancake breakfast from 9:00 to 2:00.
They are carrying on the practice that
Their parents began.
The pair are generous and beyond brave.
Their gift of hospitality is unlike any I've
Seen.
I had a great time chatting with friends, meeting
New ones and filling up on pancakes, sausage and
A delicious breakfast casserole.
(I must ask her for the recipe.)
I left with a cheerful spirit while my
Hosts were left with hours of clean up.
But if they throw their party next year,
I'll be back.
