Christmas at 1123 was always eagerly anticipated by this twinner. Holiday cheer, family and friends popping by, sledding, wondering what new music would be under the tree...and nuts. Nuts!
Do you remember the endless supply of whole nuts bestowed upon us? I did as I was shopping the other day. In fact, I remembered it to the tune of 2.5 pounds of mixed walnuts, hazlenuts, brazilian nuts and almonds - $9.95 in the self-checkout line gracefully guided by a pleasant female voice, "Please enter the code for your nuts." Hmmmmm, apparently there is something Mom and Dad forgot to tell me!!!
Do you remember the awe and wonderment at Dad's giant hands wielding nut crackers and deftly cleaving the walnut shell in half? Squirrels were jealous! Tales were told! And I simply ended up with blood blisters and nut shrapnel that I had to gather in crumbs with that dental pick thingy to satisfy my hunger...NUTS!
Wishing you all the best as Christmas approaches.
Love,
Clark
