Awhile back, our family watched “Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things.” Part of downsizing for us (3 years ago) meant less stuff, but also more music, outdoor adventures, meals around the table with old friends and new, and more caring about other people, investing in their lives.

I’ve been thinking about the casual dinners we’ve hosted since we’ve lived in our cozy mountain home. So many great memories around the table.

For one meal recently, we enjoyed this Roasted Lemon Thyme Balsamic Marble Potatoes. So good!

Leave your expectations at the door

Quite honestly, I just don’t have any expectations anymore when we have company, except that I cook recipes that are familiar, and I expect that we will have a sweet time around the table. We always do. Even in the case of a conversation where you may not agree, we can all be civil with one another and have a lot of fun.

Tasty Roasted Lemon Thyme Balsamic Marble Potatoes

Our friends Joan and Peter are some of our favorite friends to dine with. They are the best for telling stories about themselves, in such a funny way, and not elevating themselves. I mean telling like making fun of themselves. They are some of the most humble people that we know. We are so grateful for them in our lives.

Their attitude is so contrary to perfection, the unrealistic expectations that can quickly steal our peace and joy.

I once had a friend who threw out the pie right before the company came, because it was too toasty on top.

We visualize a perfect day. I do it, too.

We visualize perfect people.

Joyce Meyer says, What is real is that only God is perfect, and the rest of us are under construction! I love that.
