Christmas Present

by Dave

I received my Christmas present from my parents on Saturday. Mom and Brianna took me out to eat at Red Lobster for lunch then they took me to the Ordway to see ‘Sound of Music’. The play was fantastic!! The acting was wonderful, the songs were amazing and the company was awesome. I had such a wonderful time hanging out with my mom and sister watching one of our favorite movies being acted out on the stage. This was an unknown fact to me, but the ‘Sound of Music’ is a real live story. I didn’t know this until reading through the program given to me at the play that the Von Trapp family was a real family going through a tough situation in Austria. I’m intrigued to read and learn more about this family.

We also took the Burlingame/Paulson Kid picture on Saturday.

Baking Cookies

by Dave

I spent several hours on Sunday baking cookies with some very good friends from high school, Katie Palmer and Gina Schneider. We were up to our ears in cookie dough, flour, sugar, eggs and butter. It was great to hang out with them and not count the calories. :) I came home with so many different kinds of cookies it was ridiculous, but Dave is happy. He now has cookies galore for snacking on. I even baked a double batch of his favorite – Peanut Butter Blossoms.

These are all the cookies I came home with. Imagine how many there were before we split them up.

Moron

On the way home from church today I witnessed one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen in a car. I exited 94 onto Ruth St. Another car was about two car-lengths behind me. All of a sudden, a car came flying up on the left and cut in right between me and the car behind. He got right up on my bumper because he was going so fast in order to catch up and cut between us. I wasn’t going very fast as the light at the end of the exit was red and there were already about five cars stopped at the light. He rode my bumper a long way up the exit until it widened out and I moved into the left lane. He also moved into the left lane for a moment, but then switched into the right, presumably to avoid the five or six cars turning left. Did he turn right? No. He turned left. From the RIGHT lane. Through a RED light. And to top things off, after making the turn, he looked out his window and flipped us off. What a guy. Where’s a cop when you wanna see somebody get theirs?
