Donuts

Donuts, Family, and Saturdays
"Can I have donut holes, dad? And Chocolate milk?"
"One or the other." I watch my son gleefully race up to the case and point. Hot, fresh, fried dough. Not the most nutritious thing in the world for a child, however, it is Saturday morning. My son races back.
"Please, please. Donut holes and chocolate milk."
"Well, if you help rake the leaves this afternoon, maybe." This is one of the rare chances I have to bargain with my six your old to do his chores. I move forward in the line. Several parents from school seem to be making the same Saturday ritual.
We try all week to get the kids to not eat Snickers for afternoon snack, however, there is something about Saturday morning and donuts. Get everybody in the mini-van and get down to the donut shop. Who says there isn't fun for the whole family? This is the one moment of the week that I do not hear a gripe or a nay-say when I ask if anybody wants to come along on an outing.
Nobody is too busy talking on the phone. Nobody seems to be too busy with practice or homework. I just say, "Donut shop," on Saturday, and magically the family seems to be all for one. It's a few extra carbs and a few extra calories, I know, but sometimes it takes sweet things to bring us all together. "Now do you want a maple bar or an apple fritter?"

Andy Fletcher's career as an artist started early. He began drawing trains-one of his first loves-from his own photos when he was still in school. In 1992, Burlington Northern Railroad asked him to design their popular SD70MAC Executive color scheme. Altogether, Andy has drawn over a thousand trains, from steam to modern diesel and cars, cabooses and other equipment. He has been commissioned to paint trains for many of the railroad historical societies and museums.
