One bird flew back into the nest late last night after finishing his finals early on the quarter system. We went to the In n’ Out drive-thru on the way home. “One animal style, 1 plain cheese burger, 1 medium lemonade, please.” “Yes, that will be inhaled in the car before we leave the drive-thru lane.” I have never heard anyone moan while eating a burger before.

A couple years ago nightly elves brought to our doorstep something every day for the 12 Days of Christmas. I quickly caught on by the second night what the theme was and looked forward to every morning with absolute delight. I can’t remember every gift but I do recall a bowl of seven goldfish for the seven swans-a-swimming and the three Frenches hens were frozen Cornish game hens. It was all very creative. Of course, I had to stay up… [Read More]
