My Mother passed away last June and I am still dealing with much of her precious collections. (I have inherited many craft supplies for card making and scrapbooking, along with AT LEAST 500 Cookbooks - I probably have about 100 in my own collection...Master Drone was trying to figure out just where I was expecting to put them all as I sort through them...seriously.) Since NO One in the family apparently likes my cooking, as I am just finding out for the first time in 28 yrs, He has the audacity to suggest that if perhaps I would just use 'one recipe a day from one of the many books I might choose from.....'  I will not even try to describe the scathing look Mistress Bee gave him as now just looks at me with his mocking imitation smile that is unsheepishly sarcastic in his usual chiding characteristic manner...'humpph' as I stick my nose in the air and turn away.

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz…..Sincerely, Mistress Bee

Post-Script: We attended a meeting as Bumblebee will be attending a week-long Scout camp this summer for the first time. Master Drone willingly ‘volunteered’ to attend as an adult leader for the whole week. I thought it gracious of him knowing that Bumblebee’s personality might need some moral support and some much needed Father/Son bonding. But alas No, His reasoning: “I get a whole week of ‘good’ cooking”.  Guess who’s sleeping on the couch tonight!!  (Actually I’ve been at this camp before overnight and have experienced the 3 daily home cooked meals from the kitchen – They’re Fantastic.)  Do you think I could trade places with Master Drone and let ‘Him’ do the cooking at home? (Long sigh….I guess not)
