I decided that I wanted a box of candy canes to hand out at my volunteer job Wednesday. I know we will have a lot of clients picking up their food for the rest of December, and with school being out and all the children with their parents, we will be crowded.
A friend was going to Sam's so she picked me up a box of 280 candy canes plus she was going to give me the 1/2 box she had left.
Sweetie volunteered to pick them up for me -- on the Harley, of course.
I questioned the wisdom of his transportation choice but he said "That's what bungee cords are for!"
So, off he went and stayed and stayed and stayed.
Finally he came in with his sad tale.
About halfway home one of the bungee cords slipped and the new box of candy canes fell and slid down the street. Several cars swerved to miss it but one car just clipped it on the edge, causing it to go spinning down the street some more.
He managed to rescue it and did arrive home safely. There were a good number of the canes that were now in pieces and the box was a bit broken in spots, but we still have plenty to hand out.
Anyone need some pieces of candy canes to sprinkle on cookies, brownies, ice cream, etc.? I'll be glad to supply them!
Merry Christmas everyone!
