let's have some fun

let's do something fun

eggs in a pan.
let's go somewhere,
get out and about,
do a day trip.
game? you peer over

go where?

out to a winery.
something fun, we could

isn't it. it's almost

hit the road.

hey, can you throw some
cheese on those eggs.
do we have any bacon?
I like bacon.
