A story from Aunt Judy
I was in high school and my sister was engaged to Russ who happened to be in the Navy at the time. His duty assignment was on a PBR patrolling the rivers in Viet Nam. I decided to send him a "care package" and was in the process of making chocolate chip cookies to send to him.
Evidently, I was not paying close enough attention to what I was doing because I got my finger caught in the mixer beaters. Well I am not sure which Russ enjoyed more, the cookies I sent or the story about making them, because when he came home on leave he took every opportunity to tease me about it.
I can still remember him telling everyone that I was probably sneaking some cookie dough to "sample" when my finger got caught! But all kidding aside, we were all happy to see him come home safe and sound.
