The Fed Ex Man Cometh.....

And oh, oh, happy day!
He left a box by my door yesterday.

The box was filled with sweet berry delight,
covered in chocolate and wrapped up just right.

I was forced to choose. Should I hide? Should I share?
Could I outrun them all? Would they even care?

No, being the person I am, I stood,
and I shared them all with my pleading brood!

Each face was just beaming,
every eye was just gleaming.

For a few seconds it was quiet
as we all wrecked our diet.

And then they were gone, so quickly!
Our fingers were still sweet and sticky....

We all drifted, remembering the seconds before
and I pondered the Bakke Family lore.

The box of sweet goodness brought us great bliss
and I just can't comprehend last year's dismiss! *wink**wink*



Thank you, Ronette!
We thoroughly enjoyed your blog give-away!
I wanted to take pictures, but the battery wasn't charged, and well,
we just didn't have time to wait!
Merry Christmas!
