Oh my goodness. I am so sorry that happened to your neighbor. I can imagine your kids heart ache. It was sweet of your daughter to bake these muffins. No better way to the heart than the stomach.
It was such a trauma for all of us, Michelle. But, Especially Pauline – it was sweet to see how the neighbours all made such a fuss over her afterward. I think in the end she felt more loved and connected to the neighbouehood. I'm sure the muffins helped too. 😉
