Southern California, Here I Come!

I'm taking a brief break from my life in the frigid north to enjoy sunny (God willing) Southern California.  Before I go, I thought I'd take a moment to channel everyone's favorite, Ms. Margaret Wise Brown, and say a temporary goodbye to my North Dakota treasures:

In the great white room

There was a plant

And a colorful basket

And nesting dolls of—

 The fantastic Swedish pop band ABBA

And there was one stylish girl lounging on her yellow chair

And one owl

And a kitchen towel

And a rolling pin

And a sugar bin

And a can of kraut juice

Next to a menu from Blue Moose

And a beautiful sunset and snow on the ground

And classes of children who make lots of sound

Goodbye plant

Goodbye ABBA

Goodbye yellow chair

Goodbye owl

Goodbye kitchen towel

Goodbye rolling pin

Goodbye sugar bin

Goodbye kraut juice

Goodbye Blue Moose

Goodbye beautiful sunset and snow on the ground

Goodbye North Dakota children

See you next year!
