| | "HOW DO YOU GET YOUR GOLF CART IN REVERSE?" How many of you have opened your door and had a guy ask you that? The door bell just rang...9:30 A.M. and my neighbor, Mike, was standing there. I told him how to put it in reverse, and how to choke it, if it wouldn't start. THEN, I asked him why he needed the golf cart. He said, your pickup truck, and the golf cart are between the shed door and the mower. HE'D COME DOWN TO MOW MY LAWN!!! He's out there now. How will I EVER get these folks paid back for all their help!?!?!? Besides that, He and Kirby have invited me down tonight for steaks on the grill, and when Kirby has a cook out, she has EVERYTHING ELSE TOO!!! Me........I bake a potato, grill a steak and have a salad. The thing is......I just finished changing all the hummingbird feeders....it had been about a week....and I had intended to go out and mow, as soon as I did that and got dressed. Oh well......... BUT I JUST HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO DO SOMETHING BACK FOR ALL THESE FOLKS!!! I had a friend come fishing with her daughter, the daughter's friend, and his two boys, last Sunday. She has another daughter that lives in northern Illinois. That daughter was out in the yard with her little one year old son. This lady came walking down the street, seemingly, in a big hurry. She came up to 'Susan' and said, "May I ask a favor? My car broke down, back up the street, and I'm headed for the convenience store up the street, and I thought I could make it, but I REALLY need to use a bathroom. May I use yours?" Susan told her she could and took her to the door and told her where to go. She went back out in the yard. The lady seemed to be taking a longer time than necessary, so Susan went back to the door to make sure she'd found the bathroom. She had, so Susan went back outside. A while later, the lady came back out and thanked her for letting her use the bathroom. Susan did a double-take, and noticed the lady had HER purse. She called to her, and said, Maam, you picked up the wrong purse. She paid no attention, so Susan, with her child under her arm, ran over to her and grabbed at her purse. The lady began pounding her over the head, but finally, Susan was able to grab the purse back, and the lady took off. She went into the house and called the police. They told her that they'd had other reports about that, and thought they knew exactly who she was, and where to find her, but they never had enough evidence to hold her. Susan said, "Well, I just noticed there's a hundred dollar bill missing off my coffee table too." They found the 'lady' and sure enough she still had the $100.00 on her. She's in jail for 4 years. IF THEY SAY THEY GOTTA GO, TELL EM TO GO FIND A BUSH!!!! I went to town yesterday to return some containers to Phyllis, she'd brought food out here in. The day before, I'd made some beef and noodles to take too, and I got within 4 blocks of her house, and discovered I'D FORGOTTEN TO TAKE THE NOODLES!!! We both like the Olive Garden, and Bill doesn't, so when he found out that's where I was going to eat, he said "Take Phyllis with you. She likes it and I hate that place." So we had a nice lunch and a long visit. I took her home, and went to Kohls for ONE ITEM!!! It has 3 doors along the front. I found a handy parking place, so I wouldn't have to walk very far. When I got into the store, and asked where I could find this item, it was in the FAR OPPOSITE CORNER OF THE STORE!!! Last night, in order to get to sleep, I had to have a pain pill. I hadn't taken one for THREE NIGHTS!!! Yesterday afternoon, I spent all afternoon writing "Thank You Notes". Sure hope I didn't forget anyone or anything they've done for me. I put them in the mailbox this morning. Glad my mailman drives a pickup truck. Enough for now. Catch you later. Granny |
