After a fun time catching up with Amy's cousins at the house in Centerville this afternoon, her brother's family returned with us to Hickory Top for another gift exchange. Among other things, Cianna got her first box of wooden blocks, and for our family, a transparent mouse with floating ducky and a Zero Blaster.

But the grand finale of the evening was another visit to the drive-in of the local Maid-Rite Hamburger Shop. This is a franchise of the famous loose meat style hamburgers (approximate recipe here) profiled by PBS.

After four of the smallish Maid-Rites, my world is perfect.
