Glass Bottoms and Beer - Sue

Very amusing, Phyllis. The part about the cell phone, however, was completely inaccurate. While it appears that I lost my cell phone, I had, in fact, FORGOTTEN it at security, which, technically, isn't the same as losing it because I know where I left it.

Here is what we did yesterday... Went to this truck place where Bud's driver was getting ready to go pick up a load after unloading, and then I got a ride in the semi truck! Can you believe it? It was so cool! Bud's driver was going to go north on some interstate, and we were going to go north on the same interstate, so the driver drove Bud's SUV and Bud drove the semi while I rode as a passenger for about 30 miles on the interstate highway and then we pulled over at a rest stop.

Then we went to a place called Silver Springs. We took a glass bottom boat ride where we saw the springs coming out of the crystal clear water about 50 feet down. There were lots of pretty fish. There was even a wild gator on the shore!

Then we went on a Jeep ride through the park and saw some animals. They were zoo animals like llamas and stuff like that. Parts of it had pristine Florida jungle on both sides of the road. Then we walked back through the park and saw the grizzly bear and giraffe. Oh wait, before that we stopped in the gift shop and I got Phyllis a coffee cup (don't tell her) and a little helmet with a light on it for JJ. Walking back to the parking lot, it was hotter than a monkey's ass on a skillet.

We went to the grocery store and got some A1 sauce and potatoes. We came back to Bud's paradise sanctuary in the jungle, five acres cleared of swamp, and grilled steaks and taters and corn. Then I drank a beer and we watched a comedian on dvd, Jeff Dunham. The volume was up real loud. Bud asked if that was too loud but he couldn't hear my answer. Even though it was so loud, I couldn't keep my eyes open. His couch reclines and after sun, exercise, steak and beer, and being up since 4 in the morning, well you know what happened.

I do remember toddling off to bed and falling in, but nothing after that.

The Lights are On and Somebody's Home...Phyllis

When I was little, my mom used to tie my lunch money into the corner of a handkerchief so I wouldn't loose it on my way to school. I resisted the urge to do that for Sue yesterday when she left, although I did call ahead to the airline and ask the a flight attendant keep an eye on her and make sure she got off in the right city.

It appears that I should have tied her cell phone into the corner of a hanky because she lost it at the airport! Sue...who is never without her phone, who always answers on the first ring, who has had the same phone number since man started walking upright...had to go to the ATT store and buy a new phone!

On the bright side, she has a new phone now and we have again established contact. However, I think it's going to be up to me to keep our blog current, unless she can tear herself away from boat rides, jumbo shrimp dinners and visiting brothers she rarely gets to see.

Sue can sit down and hammer out a thousand words without even getting drunk first. I can't do that. I'm sweating now. I have to write, rewrite, change my mind and write again. So have patience with me. Don't PUSH me! Don't tap your foot and roll your eyes at me! It doesn't come easy to me...words...words with letters.

So anyway, Oh! Look that the time! I have to get ready for work. I could have sat here for hours writing another sentence, but I must go. Talk to you soon, Sue! Dogs are fed, watered and happily laying around. Birds are fed and watered and chirping like little...uh...birds. The lights are on and somebody's home!
