Past Tense

We decided that it is time for us to have my parents over for supper. You see, we go have supper at their house every week so that they can see their grandchildren, but I think it is time that my mother has a break from cooking. So, we invited them over couple days ago to come for supper tonight and I was a little surprised that they said yes.

Instead of creating a boring meal, we wanted to do something special for them. You see, my father loves fresh pasta but since my mother’s arthritis started to flare up, she has been unable to make any for him. Instead, we decided to make them some homemade pasta with the Atlas pasta machine that was given to us for Christmas.

Though this will be the third time that we’ve created homemade pasta, so far it looks like it’s going to turn out well. I can’t wait to see the look on the face of my father when he realizes that the pasta he is eating is homemade.
