The meeting being completed, I could return home the next day to see Josephine cutting vegetables as the sink filled and many groceries waited to be used while many recipes waited to be executed as more food including eggs and breads among the other foods waited to be used while Nathaniel showed up football in hand and so was tackled out of his shoes -- a worthwhile prelude to the events of the next day.

Jane was sleeping (or trying to sleep) when Sara Just arrived with her mandelbrot and posed with Suzanne as the eggs were separated the milk was measured and Seinfeld tapes were in the family room even as some of the desserts and the raw materials were in the kitchen and the dining room table was set as the chocolates held forth and Ben enjoyed the Steeler chair while our first environmental visitor came (there would be another at the end of this story) and left his literature even as the pizza boxes suitably filled and ready to be enjoyed with beer arrived and the first pizza was opened which satisfied Suzanne as Ed and Sarah arrived, ice cream was served, Ben demo'ed guitar hero and the puzzle was completed.
