surprisingly, i made it to school on time.... walking "rocky" at 5:45 while holding on to my cup of much needed coffee.... & running upstairs... to start my morning routine ... I made it out the door by 6:30.. that was quite an accomplishment ...
on the drive home this afternoon.. i called my youngest daughter who informed me she was cooking dinner tonight.... how sweet was that !... a dinner cooked for me in the middle of the week..... family (sit down) dinners are a special time at our house... because it is almost impossible to get us all together ... our schedules literally collide most of the time...
while changing clothes this afternoon... (erin was cooking away in the kitchen)... i could smell the sauces...floating up the stairs.. i thought of the oatmeal no bake cookies, the kids loved when they were young... i could whip them up in no time... why i thought of those bites of chocolate, peanut buttery oatmeal cookies.. i don't know... but, i did. & i knew the girls would love them.... after dinner & dishes...
i put the butter in the boiler, the sugar...milk... & erin knew....
