What a day its been. It was required that we wake up early to make this day of magic happen, but oh wow, was it ever worth it.
Allena arrived early this morning and came through the door with a smile and bringing much joy. RC and I were already in the kitchen doing prep work for the turkey dinner.
I was making home made stuffing, that is an extra special recipe that I share with no-one, then stuffed it into the dressed bird and put the whole thing into the oven, on slow roast. Our turkey gets wrapped in bacon, and I must say that the bacon does an amazingly delicious thing to ones palate.
We spent the entire afternoon chilling with each other, reminiscing on our years together in relationship and laughing at silliness. RC and Allena may have had just-a-bit of scotch. The teenager hung out with us and our energies gelled so well together, as always.
Dinner cooked beautifully, with no stress or issues, the good china was out and at an early hour we sat down and gave thanks for our family. All four of us. RC, Allena, the teenager and me. Three chicks and one guy. Three adults and one teenager.
Our lives together are the BEST. Allena, the teenager and I have been together for eight years now, we are close and solid. RC came along two years ago and fit right in to all our lives quickly. As a family unit, we look good together, we get along perfectly, we love, admire, trust, respect and care for each other. As a poly family we have a rich strong past and an even brighter varied future.
We all know love and are good at communicating our own wants and desires, the way we live is remarkable and I only wish that others had the same capability to love with such abundance and truth.
