So...whats for dinner?

….and everything is a "first time without"…or a "WE would" that turns into yet another reminder.

Yup, the "will nevers" that haunt me….my brain goes from sobbing because I miss the great times to sobbing because I remember those last 6 months of pure horror. The dichotomy is overwhelming.

Leftover chicken enchiladas and salad tonight.
I just pulled a recipe for chocolate chip muffins I may make and freeze. Next week I take a meal to a mom of 2 young children going through cancer treatment and I think the little ones might enjoy a sweet treat with whatever else I make and take.

Last night the lightening-thunder was quite intense until about 1am and the dogs did not like it at all.
We had to drive though a dust storm on the way home from visiting MIL and at home tonight we are currently in the weather map's "red zone", but so far it's just wind, lots of lightening, lots of thunder but not a lot of rain. However, the raindrops that are falling are the HUGE "splat" ones that hurt when they hit us.
Dinner tonight is chili and corn on the cob. It's too rainy for the grill so we are boiling the corn.
When her treatment started another driver had to take over the school bus route that Sharon had been driving at the school DD was attending. The school organized a "meal train" and each day DD (in 8th grade) would get off the bus with another meal for us. It was very much appreciated.

Reader, How nice of you to provide a meal for the family. I don’t bake much anymore since there is always too much left over. The children will enjoy the chocolate chip muffins.
Carole, How exciting that your DH’s photo was on the golf course website.. It’s not often that someone hits a hole in one.
Eric, Driving through a dust storm is no fun. How is your MIL doing?
Dinner tonight was chicken in creamy sun dried tomato sauce and mashed potatoes.

The meals that were given to us were very much appreciated and, Reader, I'm certain they will appreciate your meals. I'm especially certain the little ones will like the sweet treats. :-)
MIL is doing OK. Her next doctor appointment is September 10 and I'm hoping they will allow her to put weight on the "fixed" leg. We went over there yesterday to get her iPad going (again). The television in the room is placed where she can't see it well, so the iPad and streaming is "it". We also got her some headphones so she can hear the programming over the rather loud oxygen "generator".

Eric, Some of those oxygen concentrators can be really loud, especially if they are older with worn parts. The one I used for three months was new and very quiet. The headphones were a good idea.
Dinner tonight was chicken curry on rice.

I went to the waterfront festival at our marina/clubhouse. Wept, but no heaving sobs. Nice wine and had a cheeseburger there. Sat with good neighbors and stayed for several hours. SO hard, but I did it.

Wally, Good for you. I'm glad there was nice wine to go with the cheeseburger.
Our POTS landline went out due to crossed wires. The repair guy from the cable provider which recently acquired the phone company didn't know what to do and claimed our service was being discontinued. I told him to call a bucket truck with someone who knows how to fix copper wire. It then took about 3 minutes to make the repair. We haven't received any notice of service termination. The bucket truck driver told us we are on the same line as the local hospital which relies on land lines and can't be dropped easily like residential and commercial customers. We have kept the landline since both our cell reception and internet service are unreliable.
Dinner tonight was Tuscan garlic shrimp on cavatappi.

Wally, a good thing to visit with nice neighbors, however difficult. I admire you for making the effort.
Dinner last night was hot dogs and Bush's beans. The bottom of the menu list. I'm in need of inspiration.
