Last Thursday, we had an unexpected need for a baby-sitter, and one of our dear neighbors stepped up to the challenge. Dee Riser came over for the afternoon and watched the boys, so Marc could be with me during a minor out-patient surgery I had to have. When we got home that evening, Dee had prepared dinner for us, which was completely unexpected, but greatly appreciated. She had fixed a Beef Stew with Carrots and Noodles, and a Cherry Cobbler. I hadn't eaten in 24 hours, so I gobbled it all up as fast as I could. It was so YUMMY!!!!!
As a way of saying Thank You, the boys and I went to see her and her husband, Von, today and took them some Homemade (from Scratch) Double Chocolate Pecan Brownies. I also revved up my Cricut, and made her this adorable box to hold the brownies.
She has promised to pass along the recipes for the meal she made for us, and as soon as she does, I will be sure to share them with all of you.
Thank You again to Dee and Von for helping us out, and to Arlinda for your help. Also, Thank You to all of our friends and family who prayed for us and sent us kind words. You ALL mean the world to us.
