I am going to set the scene. The location of the scene should be self-evident. I was driving back to work from home and lunch. The sun was out and the temperature was around 70 degrees or better. It had been raining earlier and the streets were moist from the precipitation. I was talking to a former client on my cell phone when the phone beeped, alerting me to the fact that there was another call on my phone. I looked at the phone and noticed that Cindy had called me on her cellphone.
As soon as I hung up with the client, I speed-dialed Cindy's phone. Kate answered it. With a fair amount of excitement in her voice, she informed me that we had received delivery of a box from Cadiz, Kentucky. For the past several years, my parents have been sending us a box of goodies from Broadbents' Foods in Cadiz.
I quickly asked her what was enclosed within the box. She inventoried four packages of bacon, two packages of beaten biscuits and two large packages of sliced country ham.
I can now officially announce that Christmas is here. Much as Thanksgiving is now heralded by a pile of roasted oysters and a beer. Christmas is not here unless there is a box from Western Kentucky. Now it is here. Now we can celebrate.
What a breakfast I will have tomorrow.
