[BT...How nice! Congrats to them and their family.<br /><br />[BTW, the mention of "Battle Creek" brings a shiver up the spine to the average American. I don't know if it's still the case, but when I was a youngster (and for many years after) "Battle Creek" was where you'd send your cereal box top lids to get such exotic things as Yogi Bear mugs, Snow Cone makers, secret decoder rings and all manner of kid ephemera -- all for the mere exchange of 5,681 lids off the boxes of Post Toasties, Kellog's frosted Flakes, Coco Puffs, and God only knows what else we ingested for same.]<br />I always imagined a town built entirely out of these box tops. I pity the people who had to count that stuff.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.com
