It was a varied and impressive sight, but we ended up running to McDonalds for some cheeseburgers when the boys were still hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, I cooked for hours: my best soup, a favorite sausage dish, colorful spinach salad with fresh strawberries, and homemade chocolate chip bar cookies. Tim walked in and asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong?&#8221; (Has someone died?) The boys had a dentist appointment and came home with instructions not to drink hot liquids. So, this was another dinner fail for the boys and they didn&#8217;t eat my masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday I threw a homemade quiche in the oven as I raced out the door to a parent meeting for Frisbee and a family history class.

Mark and I didn&#8217;t finish because by the time we were all home together to eat, we had to go to piano lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were lovely meals for those who could eat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just looked through my last few posts and I want you to know I am not sad. I have arrived at some understanding and wrote it out.
