2 days cooking. Lots of lasagna, chicken piccata, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli, breakfast... So delish, yet my kitchen looks like a bomb went off. It takes a long time to cook lovely meals, but the recipients are beyond worth it. I only wish I were a teeny bit faster! Joann's memorial was today. I found myself beyond grumpy, knowing I'd have to get three kids ready and drive in blizzard conditions to attend. And the thought of what to wear...grrr. I was humbled by the beautiful songs, verses, and memories talked about. Life is short. I need to stop taking some things for granted. I will start with my husband's tolerance of my cold feet on him right now....and a heater, since there is 18" of snow on the ground.
