mr. two sticks of butter

i went against the rules

Rule:

Only pick recipes that call for a stick of butter or less

BUT mr pumpkin cake bars, I could not resist.

I oooggled eyed you and dreamed about jumping in a pool of you for long enough.

so I took the plunge and made these.

ummm

verdict

worth every bit of two sticks of butter

yummmm

i pass you almost everyday

I talk about how beautiful you are with others

I dream about your front steps

I visit many church's like you in others cities, states and countries

YET

I never take time to stop and visit you

BUT

Yesterday was the day

I had time, so I stopped

I walked around and admired

I decided to let myself inside for a personal tour

Yes St. Mary's Church

you are beautiful

you are a little treasure right down the road

civil duty

today was the day.  jury duty day.

9am I walked down to the Courthouse.  Checked in.  Played on my phone, read, and watched the Today show until 10:45.

Then excuse me ladies and gentleman

You have all performed your civil duty, there is no jury needed today.  You are free to go.

and what rang through my head
FREEDOM! FREEEEDOOMMMM

called work and best boss in the world ;-) said, no need to come in.
