The Shawl Has Found A Home
The shawl that appears in my avatar was made this past summer as a birthday gift for my Mother-In-Law. I am happy to report that she was pleased with her gift. I guess since I no longer have it in my possession I'd better change my photo.
For her birthday dinner she wanted to eat something called Pinalie (boat) which is really pizza dough shaped like a boat and filled with cheese, meat, bacon and one egg in the centre. Personally I find this a bit rich and more of a brunch food but since it wasn’t my birthday, I didn’t have a choice.
Steve’s sister was missing from the celebration though, she had a spat with her brother (not Steve) the night before and absolutely refused to come. I asked her to forget the spat, it was her Mom’s birthday after all but she wouldn’t budge. The only person who got hurt in all this was my sweet MIL. I felt sorry for her, she was clearly unhappy. Why do families do this to each other?
Happy Birthday Lela…

Is that a rhetorical question about family members? The answer would be that ultimately, people have to make it all about them. It's directly related to nobodyispayingattentiontome syndrome. Alas, there is no cure for this malady. I hope you enjoyed yourself anyways and the shawl looks lovely draped over your mother in law's shoulders.
Miss your daily posts.
The shawl looks great on your MIL, she looks happy. Your SIL - I agree with rudee and want to add that family is family sometimes, otherwise it's not family.
Happy birthday and chronia polla to your MIL! It's great that you, S and S were all there to celebrate.
it looks lovely on her!

Lela is very beautiful and your shawl looks great on her. She just looks like someone I would walk up to and hug.
BTW, I think that boatload of food looks great!
