“Creativity is the residue of time wasted.”*
Wednesday, the day exploring the mystery’s mid week post featured a design created with rib bones, we served our guests a new batch of our famous, adapted from my brother’s recipe, pork ribs baked 250 degrees in aluminum foil for four+ hours.
It seemed only natural to challenge our guests to create a masterpiece equal to, or one to surpass, the previously published rib bone design image.
We worked diligently. We created memories. We had fun.
We created a tower of rib bones.
There was residue on my white jeans as a result of the tower toppling as I hovered near it to capture an image for you of this masterpiece.
This was time we had all carved out of our busy lives to meet and eat and renew our bonds. It was not wasted time.
Are you enjoying the last of the long summer evenings? Are you creating memories? Are you creating giggles amongst your loved ones? What do you do to express your creativity? When is the last time you were silly?
Let us know by replying to this email of making a comment on the blog comment section.
Thanks for exploring the mystery – Nicky Mendenhall
