when out for a night
at a wonderful irish pub
with warm company, warm food, and a warm fireplace
we decided to make the crazy leap
to ask for bread
and were looking forward
to a warm basket overflowing
with fresh, crusty bread
image our surprise
when a single 6-inch slice of soda bread
arrived on tiny plate
to be shared between us
we stared at it for a minute
looked at each other
and amazingly
we were able to eat the whole thing.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Haha what a twist… imagining the expression on seeing the bread

This sounds very strange and u had to think, “Only you would make the best of this situation!” I’m hoping this was “only two” in the “we” since it is not very big! 😁

Oh, how funny, Beth! Imagining the looks on your faces brings smiles. But, yes, I sense a lesson in there somewhere, too. I’m sure you both savored it and made it last as long as possible. 🙂

You guys got the very last piece. What are the odds?
In our house yesterday, Grandma and Granddaughter made soft pretzels. Hot out of the oven they were mmm, good.
