I thought of that title this morning, when I told a stranger it was a two duck day for me. But let me back up and lead with a very silly picture of me.
Enough bling even for me!
I met my Elk friends for breakfast this morning. Bonnie was returning from a trip to Disney, and she had brought presents! I was quite delighted with my sparkly Minnie Mouse ears, although I fear I will need a whole new outfit to really do them justice.
We met at the Friendlys on Burrstone Road in New Hartford, which has one of those claw machines with little ducks in it. I had gotten a little duck the last time we had breakfast there. My friend Michele said she was going to give me money to get her a duck today. Alas, the machine with the little ducks was out of order! I told her the next time I was in Ilion, I would stop by Colonial Laundromat, where they have a claw machine which is try till you win.
“Only they don’t just have ducks; they have other little animals,” I warned her. “So I might not get a duck.”
Spoiler Alert! I got a duck!
I impulsively drove through Ilion. It was hardly out of my way. It was a good thing that machine was try till you win, because it took me a while to get that duck! Still, it was the exact duck I wanted. I can’t wait to give it to Michele. A lady doing her laundry congratulated me on my win. Then I saw a vending machine with all ducks for 75 cents.
Who could resist a little squishy duck?
“It’s a two duck day for me,” I told the lady. And just like that, I had my blog post.
