Rhyme Time

Norm suprised me when I got home from work yesterday with a very clever little scavenger hunt (to try to recover from not getting me a Christmas present). It had some inside jokes some of you might get...


'Twas the day after Christmas, when all through the den
Not a creature was stirring, not even a hen.
(The next clue was found in the egg carton in the refrigerator)

The jackets were hung in the closet with care,
In hopes that St. Nicolas soon would be there.
(Next clue in the pocket of my coat hanging in the closet)

Rachael was nestled all snug in her bed,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in her head.
(Clue under my pillow)

When down in the Versa there arose such a clatter,
Rach sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
(Clue on the seat of the car)

'Twas the Garmin that told her where to go next,
"Go get you a chocolate is what would be best".
(Clue in the box of chocolates)

When what to my wandering eyes should appear,
But condoms for Christmas is what I do fear!

Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Prancer! Now Vixen!
A picture from Katie with Tulips a 'Mistin
(Picture behind Katie's painting)

When presents from Norm have left disappointin'
This year, in the toaster all will leave rejoicin'
(Clue in the toaster)

Here ya go Rach, a card for you
To get a warm winter coat, all shiny and new
But one simple rule must be adhered
Take your husband with you...him and his beard

Yeah, still not an actual present, but I REALLY appreciated the effort to do something for me. Thanks Norm!

Wow Rach, you really have an amazing husband. You need to let him know how much you appreciate him. What a guy to make a clever scavenger hunt. He never ceases to amaze me.

Creative! I'm impressed! So I guess it had to be impressive if he didn't get you a Christmas gift. :) It was so great to see you! Even if we only got to see each other for a few minutes! Happy New Year!

PS Did you go into NYC for NewYears EVE? Just wondering since you guys are out there.
