Dining and Birching

One evening last week we went out to dinner. As we entered we saw a bright, informal dining area for breakfast, lunch, and casual family dining. There was also a larger, dimly-lit, more formal area where several couples and some small groups of adults were enjoying their meals. As we were escorted to our table in the adult section, we passed an arrangement similar to the one below, which separated the two eating areas.


After examining the menu and deciding what to order, I stared at the room divider and of course, fantasized about the choice of birch rods as decoration. Was the owner a closet spanko? I pointed out the birch rods to Ron, and he laughed and shook his head. He then assured me that they had had absolutely nothing to do with his choosing this particular restaurant.

I wonder.

You didn't ask for a doggie bag for the birch rod you selected for dessert? LOL

We do have a birch tree in our backyard, but unfortunately it died.

Mick - Er, yes, it seems to be.

Katia - That's a better idea than enjoying it at the restaurant.

Meow - Thanks.

Redxxx - We had one too, but they don't live long, thanks to birch borers.

Hugs,
Hermione
