Since my surgery, I’ve had lots of visitors, which has been great. However, I was thinking that this whole surgery thing would be great for losing weight, since I knew I wouldn’t have an appetite during recovery.

What I didn’t take into account was that my visitors knew me well enough to bring me my one weakness - desserts. Everyone brought pies! Ice cream pies, cream pies, pecan pies, our freezer is overflowing with pie love. So even when I had no appetite at all, I would want pie, pie, pie!!!!

Then the pièce de résistance came yesterday. I got a styrofoam cooler in the mail, and my heart leapt when I saw it. At first, I thought it was from my aunt in Cincinatti, but then I looked at the name, and it was from the COOLEST PERSON ON THE PLANET. What was in it? Six pints of Graeter’s Ice Cream, my favorite ice cream ever! Six mouth watering flavors of creamy delicious ice cream. It was such a wonderful, thoughtful gift, from someone that I’m very thankful that I’ve been blessed to know.

Time to eat!
