This was funny. I don't know if you meant it to be. But I laughed at your car counting twice and the cucumber stuff.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Yes it was totally meant to be funny - thanks for thinking so. That always makes my day. :)
DeleteFancy cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese & tomato & lettuce & ranch salad dressing! Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun little sandwich. I used only cucumber and cream cheese, but yours sounds lovely too. I cut mine into squares and ate them all dainty like too. ;)
