Cravings

Every now and then I get cravings for something from home. Pizza, bean burrito, chips and salsa, wheat thins, cookies, Mary Rose’s home fries, green enchiladas, etc. I only bring this up for I totally have the hankering for potato chips with sour cream and onion dip right now.

As of today, 4.

Rostom has sat in the yard with his shotgun a couple times, but has yet to see it to take a shot. Maybe I should sit out there and be the bait. It seems to have worked so far.
