Rob and I had stopped by Sunday morning on our way home from Indy. He was very tired and not in the best of shape, but he asked me bake another batch of cookies, but this time make them macademia nut and white chocolate chip...

I bought the ingredients and was going to make them Saturday to take up...

They'll be at PY/Norwalk this year instead.

Can't believe just 3 days ago I spoke to him for the last time.
