"Taken a long time ago"
I want to tell you a bit about my dad. Dad is retired, which in this case means that he no longer has to report to work at a specific time of day 5 days a week. Or, in dad's case, night. You see, my dad made a career change out of necessity (the company moved their location to another city) when I was in my teens. He was offered a position that required him to the overnight (graveyard) shift. With 2 kids in the house, I am now sure that he didn't get much sleep. I, myself have been a graveyard shift worker for years. Believe me, if you have someone in your home (or one you are visiting) who works nights and is trying to sleep:
1) NEVER whisper - this actually wakes the person as they think something is wrong.
2) MAINTAIN your normal noise level - voice tone, volume etc.
3) PLEASE do not allow your spoon to 'tinkle' the mug while you stir. This actually is more irritating then you think.
My dad hunts, traps, is the local Nuisance Control Officer, four-wheels and likes to fish as well as keeping up with the 'honey do list'. So, as you can tell he's a busy man. BUT my dad always has time for me. Thanks Dad.

They were always hidden in mom & dad's room.....we all like the carmel best, so I am SURE that there are none of those left. I must remember to tell you about my brother....hmmm I shall start that one later. A character that young man is.
Aren't all brothers...
