Susan is a great cook and had prepared pork that just fell off the bone at the touch of your fork. There were also baked potatoes and salad with garlic bread and a garlic spread Susan had made. I wasn't hungry before I got there, but somehow rose to the occasion and over indulged in food. Then she brought out this decadent dessert that had oreo cookies, fruit and some kind of sweet creamy whipped stuff. I think it probably radiates calories. If you sit next to it, you can almost feel yourself growing larger.
The feast was just to soften us up for the Cribbage game the followed. Steve and I won the first two games, but the girls took control of the battle field from there on. We didn't get home until almost midnight because it took 5 games to demonstrate their strategic and tactical victory. Ply them with food and then take advantage of their diminished state; it worked brilliantly.

These pictures were taken just a few minutes ago. It took us most of the day to get everything ready. It irritates me to think that this should not have happened. And I should not be left to fix it...Arrrgh
Sometimes I think I should go back to having a job so that my life can slow down. These moments are fleeting. At this pace though, I think I'll burn out. This has to be temporary.
