lol……..
Taco Bell visits won’t be the same. My love is for 7 layer burrito and cinnamon twists. And a cheese rollup to share between my two babies–Gracie and Max, our Shih Tzu puppies! Collected many movie tie-in products, my favorite being the four glasses from 1983’s Star Trek III: The Search For Spock… You will be missed, sir. Rest in the arms of peace…
MMMM I’m hungry…RIP and thanks for the great tacos.
