100 Words or Ice Cream

Last night, I had a huge choice to make. Do I write my 100 words column or do I have a bowl of ice cream with Sol and Bernice.
Hmmmm. I like to write alot, and enjoy my daily typing. Hmmmm. I like ice cream, and especially eatting in their kitchen. I choose ice cream!

Its like the saying goes "Eat dessert first". Most of the times that I go over there, which is about once a week, I eat their ice cream as my dinner. Don't tell my kids. I'm forever telling them to eat healthy, snack or fruits. You know....the things your mother told you growing up.

There is something so peaceful for me. Sitting around a kitchen table is the ultimate resting place. Its where I would sit for hours talking to my dad. He didn't make much sense at the end of his Alzheimer's journey, but I enjoyed the time, nonetheless. Its the place I miss most with my mom. We both got up in the early mornings, and when I would visit, we would meet there before anyone else woke up and spend time, working on the newspapers crossword puzzles and jumbles.

Its the one thing I miss in my house here. A table in the kitchen.
