Virg selected a fresh-baked pinwheel,
which he washed down with a cold Christian Brothers Holiday Nog. |
Virg stopped by tonight for a Cup of Christmas Cheer with his brother, Stan, and Kathleen. They headed to the clubhouse to enjoy dinner and trade stories. Virg lives in Florida during the winter and flew back to Eden Prairie for Christmas and birthdays (Alex, Aaron) with his family. Among the tales shared at the roundtable was the one about the largest alligator Virg has ever seen, loafing on shore just up the river a ways from his dock, and spied by our Iowa relatives who were river paddling that day. It was a monster, Virg says, and drew a spirited response from some of them. (They had all been instructed to keep their hands out of the water.)
