Oh, hey, so we finished the romance of “The Ballad of Dawn and One-Armed Jim,” and now Mary is trotting out a new Charterstone resident to inflict her meddle upon (and whom we’ll likely never see again). Mr. Dill is a retired widower with a penchant for cake decorating, and Mary has encouraged him to enter the annual Santa Royale cake-contest. I don’t know what the first prize is (maybe the opportunity to work in the Bakery at the Santa Royale Super Wal-Mart for a week), but if that’s the case the second prize is probably the opportunity to work in the Bakery at the Santa Royale Super Wal-Mart for two weeks).
The meeting of such creative minds will no doubt be exciting…but might it become confrontational, as two sensitive blossoms try to bloom together?

Dear me! Here’s a mash-up from a week or so ago that gives a little of Mr. Dill’s background (I don’t know why I didn’t post it. I was probably terribly busy getting ready for our annual New Year’s Eve party…those salmon squares don’t make themselves, you know!)

But back to today’s exciting discussion! (Because, face it, discussions with Toby are really never very exciting.)
