Pastie Day 2008 - Let the games begin!

Yep, it's that time again..... You can tell when the leaves they are about to start changin and the brisk snap of fall crispness is sneaking ever so gently into the early mornings here in Michigan and oh, yeah, when your Sister's neighbor's house get's toilet papered by a marauding band of high school hooligans!

So here we are at the Friss family Robinson home perched high atop a bluff in all-American Chelsea, Michigan. On an otherwise calm Sunday morning the family has been conscripted into wildly cleaning every nook and cranny (like that Thomas's English Muffin reference?) of this palatial midwestern compound.

That's right, it must be PASTIE DAY 2008! That day every year that the Upper (YOU-per) blood coursing through our veins starts to boil knowing that fresh, hot Michigan Pasties will soon be everywhere~~~ Woo Hoo!
