Well, actually they came. And they weren't really company.
It was Husband's Baby Sister and Husband's Baby Sister's Husband. We hadn't seen Baby Sister in way over a year, and I've lost count as to how long it's been since we saw her husband. I think it's been over four years, or close to it.
They live in Alabama (don't hold it against them - much -), but travel a lot. They were in Africa for almost a year, returning just before this past Christmas.
Anyway, as you may have noticed if you live around here, it was cold and blowing snow all day. I had a cast iron dutch oven full of homemade vegetable soup, a pone of cornbread, and a roaring fire in the fireplace.
We talked, ate, laughed, and warmed ourselves with fire and soup.
They didn't stay nearly long enough. There was more family to visit.
Husband's Baby Sister gave us a gift of a small, carved, wooden bowl from Africa. It is quite beautiful.
But their visit was even more so.
Sometimes, days are close to perfect.
Their visit made this one close for sure.
