Seriously folks… it doesn’t matter if it is sweet or savory, either one would be the perfect dessert.

I guess what I am trying to say is that the overarching problem is not the OR, but the AND, between those two words.

After a full day of work, effort, practice, heart-to-heart discussions, reminiscing, recollections, calculations, confessions, more practice, shopping, walking, messing up things, cleaning up more things, laundry, getting up early…staying out late – there is only one question.

How do you reward the effort?

• Go to bed early?
• Read  book?
• Take a nap?
• Do it all over again…and then some?

No. You go out for a small treat before you go home.

Sweet or savory? Or, well, heck. Both? Nah – we were “good” and opted for sweet by going to a favorite ice cream shoppe (yup – it’s a fancy place.) That is when the problem started. After one scoop for me and two scoops for her,  we both agreed that we wanted fries with that. Lucky for us that McDonald’s isn’t anywhere near there – really, it isn’t even close. I guess living in the rural-end-of-the-burbs is good for more than the opportunity for walks and hiking. Sometimes it is just too far to drive for things that really – you don’t need anyway.
