We have had a lot of exciting things going on around here. Family members coming out our ears. Grandmothers turning 100 years old. Family reunions. All of my family in the same place for the first time since 1987. Many enjoyable hours passed on the front porch, in the company of loved ones and various tasty libations. All wonderful things and not to be missed or forgotten.<\/p>\n

But – do you see this vehicle entering my driveway? This vehicle holds the key to my present and future happiness. It contains something I have long waited to see, and something that indeed, I had despaired of ever being party to in my lifetime.\"car\"Even if I live as long as Grandma Simmons, I never thought I’d be able to pick up my phone and call a place that would bring this to my house.\"box\"You know, if you read here much at all, that we live out in the middle of nowhere. And never ever ever in the many years we have lived here has any business delivered pizza to our house. If we called and asked, they about killed themselves laughing at the idea that anyone on the planet would drive all the way out here for delivery. But on a whim, I called to check about the new pizza place in the next town over. When I told her the road we live on, she said “We deliver there all the time.” I swear that the heavens opened and light poured down when I heard those words. There may have been angels singing. \"1p\"And such pizza it is! I was prepared to be accepting of a slightly less than stellar offering, in the interest of not having to drive to pick it up. That interrupts cocktail hour, you know. But this pizza has a delightful chewy crust, luscious sauce and generous, yummy toppings. Rossi’s Pizza in Owego NY totally rocks. And you did catch the part about them delivering, right?\"3p\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
