Relocating the Gingerbread Man

It is a delicate procedure. One so precarious that Frankie runs from the kitchen, saying, “I can’t bear to watch in case this goes south.”

Mira emerges from the kitchen. The gingerbread house Frankie worked on rests on a glass cake stand.

a proud pastry chef
admires his masterpiece
in our Christmas trees’ new lights

      Indeed! My son hasn’t made a gingerbread house the last two Christmas seasons. Sigh!
