I spent most of this afternoon at my daughter's house for the second part of my Mother's Day weekend. They had asked me, a few days ago, what I might like for dinner, something I don't often make for myself. After a little thought I suggested meatloaf. A friend had mentioned meatloaf last week and I realized that I hadn't had it for a long time. I used to make really good meatloaf but it's not something I typically make just for myself. But that's a story for another time. After I arrived at my daughter's house, my son-in-law told me he was leaving to go pick up lunch. Huh? That didn't sound like meatloaf to me. As he drove away, my daughter informed me that they had decided on pizza instead, because I had mentioned a while back that I don't get pizza very often. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I had just had pizza yesterday, besides it had already been ordered. Happily, today's pizza, from Marco's, was equally delicious. Later in the day my son-in-law casually asked me what I had for dinner at Chili's yesterday. So I explained Chili's being closed and confessed that I had had pizza yesterday also. We laughed about it and I was sent home with more left over pizza. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, dessert today was a brownie, still a little warm from the oven, topped with mint chocolate chip ice cream and I also brought home a brownie so all in all a delicious Mothers' Day weekend. And oh, by the way, it was also a wonderful weekend because I was actually with my families, able to hug and laugh and just be together.
