Gourdi Gras

There is usually some sort of cooking contest at the Office Job 

to celebrate holidays. But COVID put a stop to that.

So, this year, the task was to decorate a pumpkin.

Challenge accepted.

Then it was silent

     It's just after sunset when I get to my parents' house. The house sits on farmland, several miles from the nearest town. The sky is still blue, turning orange, and nearly cloudless when I arrive and find my father standing in the driveway, awaiting my visit.

So we need to do some stuff so we don't go bonkers.
