Coffee Cheetos Meatloaf And Ted Lasso

---

This daughter and I…

Settled down for our first evening together…that grandpup of mine…zippety doo-dahing around…so happy to have an old gal visitor…what would you like to do while you are here…came the question as we lounged on the couch…whatever you want…came her mama’s reply…

Had no preconceived plans…knew she had to work all week…plus prepare to travel abroad for a family wedding…didn’t come as a tourist really…but her response…wasn’t exactly expected…

I want to make meatloaf…she says…a gleam in her eye…and the next night make pasta…and break the meatloaf up into it…like mini meatballs…we can walk to the store and get groceries…take the bus to an appointment together…go to the pharmacy and Sephora for travel supplies…

We can drink coffee…snack on chips…rub feet and binge watch Ted Lasso…it’s a great show…I think you will love it…and there it was…those words of hers…pretty much describing…our first 25 together years…one could see…a sweet someone flew her mama across the country…just so we could be…us…

And so it is…sometimes…in the midst of the busy-ness of life…it’s ok to wrap yourself in meatloaf and pasta…foot rubs and Ted Lasso…find the love…with coffee and Cheetos…

Breathe deep…let go…allowing the strong arms of the comforts of home…hold you close…working their magic…to ease the worries…of a blessed…but weary…soul…

And this daughter of mine…agrees…
