Jerry Robinson is able to glimpse into the lives of the people who live in Burien through his column. He is able to personalize our stories and let others know who we are and what we have been doing. I wish to thank him for these stories of those around us.

However, I wonder how many readers of the Times/News know that Jerry creates a fancy breakfast plate for his wife every morning. There is usually a whole fruit that Jerry has taken great pains to make look like a face: raisins for eyes, maybe a nose and perhaps pieces of cherry for the mouth, a piece of toast also decorated and something to drink.

These creations are creative, delightful, entertaining and joyful. He takes a picture of the snazzy plate and then emails it to his friends.

Next time you see Jerry, ask him about Elsbeth's breakfast. He can explain it better than I can.

It's really great to know that Jerry and Elsbeth are truly devoted to each other. The plate says it all.
