A special gift for dad

Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jon came into town after Christmas to celebrate New Years with us.  Crazy Aunt Nancy, that's what we call her, brought my Dad a really special Christmas gift.

First she gave him this card she made with a picture of her and a HUGE tool box.  She said if she were rich she would buy it for him for Christmas but...

because she is not rich he would have to settle for a meal from his favorite restaurant.  She brought him BBQ beef sandwiches from Chris and Pitt's in Long Beach.  They stopped and picked it up on their way in from San Diego and carried it in an ice chest all the way to our house.  Not only is this my dad's favorite food but it's also nostalgic.  When he was a freshman at West Point his mom mailed him a meal from Chris and Pitt's all the way from Long Beach to New York on dry ice.  Needless to say it was a very special Christmas gift!
