Salad at Dale's

Dale lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
We met a few years ago when I was living for 5 months with my older sister.
I asked him if he'd be my friend forever.
He laughed, took my pinky and said "we'll be pinky friends forever."
And that's what we've been ever since.


I bought a nice big salad spinner from Macy's as a thank you gift for Dale. He purchased my ticket to Atlanta recently. The spinner's a big success and I highly recommend it.
