FRIENDLY FRIBBLE FRAPPES I got my day off, finally, but not until Thursday when the rains came.
I stayed home with piles of paperwork, took a brief, restless nap, and
made a stray call or two to check on custom cabinet estimates, and an
engineering assessment of the stainless steel tie rods that will keep
the almost cathedral ceiling we'll begin to build on Friday, from spreading
under a snow load, and flattening the oblivious occupants below. Less
than thirteen hundred pounds of tensile strength times two, is that enough? With the cozy combination of work and talk the day whizzed by until late
afternoon. With the sun hinting at hot summer days ahead and needing a
break, Tricia became our savior in beige as she walked out into the new
room with two Fribbles in hand - one chocolate, one strawberry. For non
natives, Fribbles are Friendly versions of Frappes.
