Gagged Mannequin

 Dinner with Son #5

    

    Pam’s adult children make me feel very welcome and loved.

 On my latest visit to Indiana, Son #5 wanted to meet at Texas Road House for dinner. 

    Pam mentioned to #5, we’d been by his house and took a self guided tour.

    “YOU went inside my house?”  #5 was not happy, it is a bachelor pad after all.

  I quickly assured him, "I didn’t go to look at how clean it is. We just went by to see it. I really loved the Harley Davidson room with two Harley Davidson motorcycles sitting in it.”

 #5 was still freaking out more than a little.

   Pam said to me, “I didn’t show you the mannequin standing at the window.  I didn’t want  bad words coming out of her mouth so I put an ace bandage around  her face.”

  WHAT THE WHAT? Three pairs of eyes were staring at her from our table.

  “You didn’t!” I am shocked. Human Trafficking came to my mind.

     #5 and the girlfriend stared at her, mouths open.

  “Yes I did!” Pam announced very proud of herself.

   “Now it looks like he has a woman held hostage in the bedroom…someone is going to call the police." I laughed. 

   “Why?” she asked, clearly not getting it.

   I said, “Google  gagged women. She did. She shut off her phone, turned it over and said, “end of this conversation.”

Unrestrained Travis

                                                       Unrestrained Travis    My brother Travis came to visit,  the same week, my mother-in-law passed away.    Perfect time for my kids to get to see Uncle Travis.    The morning of the funeral, we went to breakfast, Travis, my son, Montana,  daughter, son- in- law, grandsons and sister.    We googled a good place to eat near me. The Apple Barrel came up. 4.7 stars. That was the highest rated place with good friendly staff.   We are all dressed like we’re going to a funeral or maybe we’re a new band in town who knows?    “Travis, just behave for today.”   “I’ll try, but I’m not making any promises.”    Our family tries to be serious at a funeral.. We fail a lot.    My brother-in-law passed away a month ago. At th...

Really Just TWO?

 Camping is the life especially when I am the guest and others are responsible for all the work.    We woke up to the sound of a high wind rocking the camper, then a huge crash! We left the awning up.      No reason to take it down, it was a beautiful balmy summer evening, so hot we hated to abide by the no generators after eleven pm.  We suffered in... not silence as we all sweated and flopped around to get more comfortable.       Finally a bit of  relief as the wind quickly cooled everything down, then the huge crash! Oh no!    The Awning pole is bent just a little.  Pam's  #4 son quickly helped us get it down. May as well stay up we are all drenched from the sudden rain.     Sweet  son #4 so thoughtful and kind brought us milk and cereal for breakfast. No bowls, oops. He found a huge fruit bowl. I said I can eat out of  a coffee filter.  I truly thought he was going to share as I ...

Bob (I mean Rowdy #2)

I love my grandsons . Sometimes I have to make difficult decisions, watch a movie with my daughter or play a game with the grandsons. The grandsons win every time of course.  We were playing Sequence, Rowdy #2 was bored and distracted by the third turn. I said hey Jimmy, John, Joe (the list of names when we can't think of the right one.)  "Just call me Bob." Rowdy #2 said and laughed.  Bob it is!  After he quit the game, we continued to call him Bob . It was no longer funny to Rowdy #2, he asked us politely to stop, "that isn't my name."   "Sure we will... Bob!" There may have been a little bit of wine involved, (who am I kidding, there was a lot of wine involved.)  We went a little too far calling him Bob . Upset, Rowdy #2 flew up stairs to get away for a bit.  I really felt bad, this is my grandbaby, he may be 13 years old, but he is precious to me. I went upstairs, knocked on his door and asked to come in so I can apologize . In the ...
