friends, the weekend has arrived.
hooray!
hurrah!
yippee!
this is one of my favourite weekends of the year. twice a year, the leaders of my church gather and speak in four 2-hour sessions on saturday and sunday. it may sound like a lot, and it is, truthfully, but each session is loaded with the basics of my gospel, reminders of why i believe what i do, suggestions on ways to improve and strengthen my testimony, and so much more. i love general conference.
additionally, food is a big part of general conference weekend. whether i'm visiting family or home in the bay area, big food is always included. the food plan for this weekend includes saturday brunch with friends, trying a browned butter cake with cinnamon chocolate frosting recipe, making a pot of my favourite chili, and tossing together a batch of homemade granola (this recipe has been in my family for years; it always reminds me of my mother and her father). lots of yummy goodness.
the weather should be perfect for all that food: low 70s with some clouds--a great fall weather forecast. dreamy. i'll also take in some other fall activities: college football, writing (the creative juices flow more freely during the cooler months), planning (the sub4santa 2011 event is 2 months away!), and napping, of course. it is the weekend, after all, and what would my weekend be without a nap or two?
so what are your plans?
love truly,
kk
