Sentence: Betty had 92 batches of cookie dough in the freezer. She was so proud of her contribution to the Church Christmas Bazaar this year. They would bake some to sell and also sell dough there. She always came through with the most cookies and dough and was well known for her generousity. But this year, it was ruined....someone had unplugged the freezer while the basement remodeling was being done. Was it one of the remodelers? Was it her husband? She had worked herself into a desperation she had never before known, crying and wretching in despair and anger at the unkown person who had done this. In the distance, she heard some music and, wait, she heard the familiar voice of her husband. She strained to hear him as she fought back her tears......"Desperadough, won't you come to your senses".....
