It was a dark day, a day above others where the world had drifted apart and was saved by the people who thought of earth as a home.

Once upon a time there was a dog, whose mustache was so long that is covered the entire world, plunging the world into darkness.

That morning at breakfast when Mom said that my brother and I had to make dinner tonight Dad spit out his coffee because we all knew the two options for dinner, burnt pasta or Chick-fil-A!
Story #4
We rush down the street hoping to be lucky, not being eaten by the dementors as we rush into our house, a woman screams and I wince as I know her soul has been taken.

Country Song about your pet or lack there of…
I have no pets, no pets at all
If we got a collie mama would scream.
We ain’t have no fur, no tails, no scales, no pets at all.
I don’t know what y’all think but when it comes to a pet
I’m as hopeless as a sick dog.
If a pup came to from hiding in the fog
I ain’t know what mama would say ‘cause she’s very scared of dogs No meow, no woof, no chirps, no pets at all
Even if that cat was a beaut mama won’t let me keep her at all!
What talented pets!

Sandwiches we’d like to try:
The classic sandwich:
Ingredients: Two slices of Dave’s Killer Bread (green) 4 slices of thin Natural Choice Ham 4 Romaine lettuce leaves 3 Red Beefsteak tomatoes 1/3 cup of Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise
Instructions:
1. Lay out your Dave’s Killer Bread from the fridge slices on a plastic cutting board.
2. Even out the ham from the fridge by putting two slices on each piece of bread.
3. Do the lettuce from the fridge the same way.
4. Put your tomatoes from the fridge on the left side of the sandwich.
5. Drizzle your mayo from the fridge across the right side of the sandwich.
6. Eat it.
Chicken sandwich
1. Take two WHOLE WHEAT hamburger buns
2. Next, get a piece of chicken (chicken tender)
3. Lastly, put the chicken in between the buns.
I also like ketchup on top of the chicken.
Panini
1. Take out two slices of French bread and put them on a plate.
2. On one slice of French bread spread basil pesto and on the other slice spread marinara sauce.
3. Cut a slice of provolone cheese into halves and put half a slice of provolone onto the side with sauce on each slice of bread.
4. Put spinach, tomatoes cut into thin circles, and avocados on one of your slices of French bread.
5. Put the other slice of French bread on top of the slice with all of the vegetables. Now the cheese and vegetables should be in between the slices of bread with the sauced side touching the cheese.
6. Plug in your panini press and submerge your sandwich in between it. Cook your panini until the cheese is melted.
7. Enjoy your panini with your favorite side such as chips and a drink!
Classic BLT
First, take the bread, bacon, lettuce, mayo, and tomato out of the fridge. Put olive butter in a frying pan, and put it on the stove. Set the heat to high, and put the bacon inside. Leave it in for 10 minutes. Put two pieces of bread into the toaster and set the heat to low. Slice the tomato into thin slices. Take one leaf of romaine lettuce and set it aside. When the bread is done, spread mayo on both sides and put the lettuce and tomato onto it. When the bacon is ready, take three slices of it and put it onto the sandwich. Then slice the sandwich into two halves and you’re done!
Nutella Sandwich
1. Grab those yummy graham crackers in the pantry
2. Grab some delicious Nutella
3.Put some Nutella on one graham cracker and add the other one on top of this yummy sweet treat sandwich.
