Tinker Day!

I just got an email from my alma mater, Hollins College, that it's Tinker Day! One day a year, just after the first frost, usually late October, the chapel bells ring and announce that there will be no classes that day. Instead, the women at Hollins and their professors and the college's staff make the climb up Tinker mountain. At the top, a feast of fried chicken and Tinker cake await them! Traditionally, people come to breakfast in their p.j.s. What wonderful memories!
