Really Just TWO?

Image
 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 ...

Don't touch the Light Switch

  My brother, Buddy invited me to come and visit.  (He lost his partner of eighteen years,  nine months after I lost my husband.)  I love his patio, I could live here and I do most of the time I'm with him.     One day, he left to check on something  leaving me home alone. (He forgot I kind of need a little supervision.)    Sun shining bright throughout the house. I went to shut off the kitchen light, I flipped every light switch I found. Nothing.    Oh maybe it's a Google house.  I tried saying the magic words "Hey Google Kitchen light off. Siri kitchen light off.  Alexa kitchen light off. " Nothing happened. Then I found the light switch hidden behind the back door. I flipped it and got side tracked as Buddy drove in.    I left to get us some lunch, when I got home, Buddy had an electrician going through all the wiring in the three car garage. For some reason, we no longer have power to the patio or garage. ...

Pam's Secret Desire

Image
  I'm at  The World’s largest Tri-State-Gas Engine and Tractor Show in Portland Indiana with one of my best friends, Pam.   I did not know the woman had a secret desire toward me.... yeah... that's right... To KILL me.    First we go to the Dollar General all is well until I round a corner and have a giant spider dangled in front of my face!! I screamed and jumped back, my brain tried to reason with my heart... it's a fake spider!     She just had to buy it to go on the front of our golf cart. It is NOT FALL... it is NOT time for Spiders to be in season.  I didn't question her, she is my friend, it is her golf cart and now her spider.   She let me drive I think she likes having a chauffer.    All is going well, until someone we passed said, "Hey did you know you have a spider on your windshield?"  I  was looking to kill me a little spider on my windshield... ARGH. Then I realized he meant the big hairy one. Yeah that ...
