A Surprise Gift


A couple of weeks ago, our vet left us a package in our mailbox.
 
Even without the phone call to inform us of said package, we would have known it was from him.






Mike kindly left us a surprise gift of fresh asparagus.  Our son was visiting, so Glenn decided to make the asparagus while Matt was home since Matt is always asking for vegetables.  Corn, he reminds us, is not a vegetable.

 

 
 
 
 
Glenn grilled the asparagus spears quickly with a bit of olive oil.  That’s it.  Pure asparagus prepared with a bit of crunch.  Both Glenn and Matt devoured the rare treat.  Their final bites ended, in unison, with, “I could have had more, it was so good!”

 

Now, how would we have known the unmarked gift was from our vet?

 

The details are in the packaging.  The asparagus was wrapped and placed inside an unused (I stress UNUSED) arm-long plastic glove - the kind any vet utilizes to conduct internal exploratory bovine exams.  True to the country spirit of using what is handy and available (see blog -  Flat Tire 5-18-15), Mike was using what he had handy.


 

It worked!
