Smartie's New Deal Bar & Grill #38

Perfetto! Mille grazie.

 

**Big smile**

Man o' man... does that ever remind me of a sometime far too distant past.


*hug*

 

I could make some real god garlic butter to go with that bread.

 

27 hr trip covering 470 miles. Dang if we didn't spend most of the time on the interstate!

Made it back safe & sound. I thought Texans were pretentious... do you know in Louisiana they call one story red brick ranch houses with an obvious add-on grandma wing... on property that includes an industrial bldg and various equipment sitting around.... a PLANTATION??? Geesh, I was expecting the stately white columned Bossier City version of Tara, but I got My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

Stressful trip but we did manage a few hrs of fun at the casino.

Lord I hate driving that far... that's why planes were invented.

*stretches*

 

Why now that invite was mighty nice of you. Momma said that she can't go cause she has to work and is on call for the next week. That water better have at least 3/4 scotch in it to. lol Thank ya much darlin but I wont go unless momma can go.

 

Funny you should mention mileage... I got as far as figuring 11.5 gallons took me 307 miles, then I stopped figgering.

Those #s are suspect cuz I quit thinking about it, too. LOL

Haven't driven I20 east in quite awhile & forgot it's only 2 lanes each direction. Playing dodge the 18 wheeler was gruelling. Beautiful country, though. Love those tall pines. (I know, midgets compared to the ones in your backyard!)

 

(I know, midgets compared to the ones in your backyard) Now that is mighty nice but Now you take our lodge pole pine for instance. WHY JUST ONE TREE MADE A HOME FOR ME.

 

Amazing!! Those pine cones oughta feed a family of four!! hehehe

East Texas pines looked pretty battle-scarred from the recent drought, but the wildflowers were beautiful! Too late for bluebonnets but buttercups were everywhere! Nice little dose of east Texas to go with my recent dose of Texas hill country. Kimi did West Texas... now if we just find somebody who's gone from here to Oklahoma, we'd have a pretty good grid of 'all's well' going on.

Hope you're taking it easy, darlin. Don't be lifting anything heavier than a remote control!

 

But what about my foot longt hoagie for lunch tomorrow.

CURTAIN RODS ---


On the first day, he sadly packed his belongings
into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, he had the movers come and collect his things.

On the third day, he sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; he put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar,and a bottle of spring-water.

When he'd finished, he went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.

He then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the wife came back with her new boyfriend, and at first all was bliss.

Then, slowly, the house began to smell.






They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place.

Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!People stopped coming over to visit.

Repairmen refused to work in the house.The maid quit.

Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided
they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut
their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to
return their calls.

Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

Then the ex called the woman and asked how things were going. She told him the saga of the rotting house. He listened politely and said that he missed his old home terribly and would be willing to reduce his divorce settlement in exchange for having the house.

Knowing he could have no idea how bad the smell really was, she agreed on a price that was only 1/10 nth of what the house had been worth ... but only if he would sign the papers that very day.

He agreed, and within two hours her lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.

A week later the woman and her boyfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home ......


and to spite the ex-husband, they even took the curtain rods!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?
