I couldn't believe it, I walked around the corner and there he was. A beautiful, delicious looking Gingerbread Man. Could my eyes be fooling me? Am I really seeing this? A Lane special Gingerbread Man. See, Lane retired earlier this year and I was sure I would not see another one of her gingerbread men again. Lane's Gingerbread men have been a tradition at DHS long before I was there, but for me they have been a tradition for 10 years. I look so forward to the day Lane walks around with her delicious treats made special for the holiday. How can a treat come to mean so much? It is more than just the treat, it's the fact that Lane makes these every year out of love and sharing them seems to bring her such joy. These men made of flour, sugar, ginger and spice, with raisin eyes and nose have come to mean the holidays are arriving and signify a little bit of love in a business where we don't see much kindness delivered our way. So, I am so sorry I missed Lane's visit and I am looking forward to savoring my Gingerbread Man, when the time is exactly right.
Thanks so much Lane!
