Feasting

Driving home through snow-blasted farmland…

Stop for breakfast sandwiches… “I’ll have two hash browns,” Patience decides… then studies the drive-thru menu a little longer… “With a burrito” …she isn’t impressed with the burrito

Stopping again for Chipotle hours later in a small town… Patience has always wanted to try it… likes everything in the burrito bowl… except for the chicken

Mr. Puck calls requesting his own lunch, doesn’t want to go out… “It’s a winter wonderland out there”… order Five Guys for delivery

Reading aloud a transcribed letter written to our great-great-grandfather in 1899 from a German guy who was hunting gold in Alaska

Home to inches of snow, a Puck somewhat neutral to our arrival, a couple of cats even less interested, and a much more enthusiastic dog… as E dusts off her red truck for the fifty-minute drive back south to her own pack of animals

Yali returns with a jar of homemade chocolate chip cookies after a weekend with “Nana and Papa”

A pretty goofy Jack Black (that’s redundant) Christmas film with mandarin orange chicken and rice dinner as the world darkens over a city dusted in snow
