These hold a special place for sarah and I. A Cracker Barrel paddle, the "CB" as it's now popularly known in our world
, was a gift that I gave her the very first time that we met. To make a long story short, sarah and I were regular posters on a certain discussion forum. Other than these public messages we didn't really know one another and certainly had no clue that the other was anywhere within a half-world away. One day we discovered that we were both in the same state and started up a light and occasional e-mail correspondence that went on for some time. After awhile because we were so close we decided to have lunch together and meet face-to-face. It was right before Christmas. So on the way over I stopped at a Cracker Barrel and got her a CB paddle and had it gift-wrapped and gave it to her. It was not meant to spark anything special, but was just a gift to express warm regard. Later, of course, after other things in our lives changed, so did our relationship. But a meal at Claudia Sander's Dinner House and a CB paddle will hold a special memory for us as long as we're together!
