Emergency Sausage Pie Delivery!


Emergency!

Call 9-1-Parents! 

Benjamin starts finals week ON HIS BIRTHDAY!

What are parents to do?

Every Christmas morning, He gets his favorite food all year - sausage pie made with sausage and cream cheese, with crescent roll sheets on top and bottom.

But this year, we thought we would surprise him early.

We got up at 4:30 in the morning, and after some food prep, were on our way to Milledgeville joust before 6.  A little after 9, we were parked outside of his dorm.

Mom called him no answer.  Dad texted him.  No answer.

Then, after answering my text, he called his Mom.

Mom:  Would you like sausage pie this morning?

Benjamin: uhhhhh....yes?

Mom:  Would you meet us at the dorm's front door and let us in?

Benjamin:  uhhhhh...ok?

A very shocked young man let us in.  We used a dorm kitchen facility to finish the sausage pie, and also had a big container of his favorite brownies.  We even brought a bottle of mustard, because what is sausage pie without a little mustard?

We spent some time together, walking around campus, getting some coffee at his favorite coffee place, Blackbird Coffee.  Dad & son even visited a shop that had some comic books.  It had a few books, but not many.  Milledgeville's biggest lack is that it does not have a decent bookstore near campus.




We even found Santa!  Thankfully, it wasn't the MAGA Santa that roamed the Mall and Blackshear Elementary.  Yes, we had a Santa here that thought it would be cool to wear a Trump hat.  I'm pretty sure that had Benjamin been in elementary school, he would have knocked that hat right off that fool. 

It was a brief visit, but a pleasant and genuine surprise for Benjamin.


In just another day or two, Benjamin will be home for Christmas Break.  Will we still have sausage pie on Christmas morning? 

Oh, you bet your sweet crescent roll we will!
