MAY 23RD 2008
WEATHER; WARM, HI HUMIDITY, 54/90 DEGREES
WE WENT BACK TO BONHAM VA AGAIN TODAY TO GET FITTED WITH A “BOOT CAST”! SOMETIME DURING THE MORNING THE BLOOD BLISTER STARTED TO DRAIN SO THE MAN WHO WAS FITTING THE BOOT PUT A PIECE OF GAUZ BETWEEM THE BIG TOE AND THE NEXT TOE AND SAID THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE PUT A DRESSING ON IT YESTERDAY! HE THEN GAVE ME A PIECE OF PAPER WITH A PHONE NUMBER ON IT I WAS TO CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT DALLAS ORTHOPEDICS! WHEN WE GOT IN THE CAR MOM CALLED AND TALKED TO THEM! THEY CALLED BACK WITH AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT TUESDAY AT 11:40 AM! IF I CAN’T DRIVE WE’LL SEE IF GARY LATINIS OR COLLEENS FIANCE’ DICK WILL TAKE ME DOWN! IF I CAN GET MY SHOE ON I’LL BE ABLE TO DRIVE! BUT THERE’S NO WAY I COULD DRIVE WITH THE BOOT ON!
!
CHARLEEN AND GARY LATINIS’S DAUGHTER LIVES IN AN APARTMENT IN DENISON, TX.AND THEY HAD A FIRE IN THE BUILDING SHE LIVES IN LAST TUESDAY NIGHT, ALL SHE GOT WAS A LITTLE SMOKE BUT THEY SHUT THE WHOLE BUILDING DOWN AND GAVE HER 2 DAYS TO MOVE ALL HER BELONGINGS OUT! GARY’S ON THE ROAD AND CALLED MOM TO SEE IF SHE COULD GET KELLY AND SOMEONE ELSE TO MOVE HER INTO A NEW APARTMENT CHARLEEN RENTED FOR HER! WELL, GARY GOT HOME TONIGHT AND HE AND KELLY WILL MOVE DEBBY TOMORROW! DEBBY IS PAID UP TILL THE END OF THE MONTH AND IT SEEMS TO MOM THE OWNER OF THE COMPLEX SHOUD BE THE ONE TO FIND HOUSING FOR HIS TENNANTS AND DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO SEE THEY AREN’T INCONVIENCED BECAUSE OF THE FIRE! DEBBY IS ON HUD SO I’LL BET HUD WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS! GARY SAID HE’LL BET THEY WERE COOKING SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN! THE STORY ON TV WAS THEY LEFT FOR A WHILE AND WHEN THEY GOT BACK THE APARTMENT WAS ON FIRE!
I DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON MEMORIAL DAY, I KNOW TIM AND ELYSE WON’T BE HERE, IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO COME UP EVERY OTHER WEEKEND!, KERRY’S WORKING IN LOUISIANA AND DEBI IS PROBABLY DOWN THERE WITH HIM, HAVEN’T HEARD FROM COLLEEN AND DICK BUT THEY’LL PROBABLY BE HERE IF THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON, MIKE AND CINDY PROBABLY WON’T SHOW UP, MIKE WILL BE WORKING AND CINDY TAKES THE BOYS TO RODEOS IF DYLAN IS RIDING IN ONE OR GOES TO HER MOM’S!
SHANNON AND KONER WILL PROBABLY BE HERE AND OF COURSE KELLY AND GLENDA LIVE HERE SO THEY’LL BE THE ONES PUTTING IT ON IF SOMETHING IS DONE!
THERE’S NOT ANYTHING ELSE WORTH REPORTING SO I’LL CLOSE WITH A JOKE FROM ACRAMAX!
MORRIS AND HIS WIFE ESTHER WENT TO THE STATE FAIR EVERY YEAR, AND EVERY YEAR MORRIS WOULD SAY, 'ESTHER,I'D LIKE TO RIDE IN THAT HELICOPTER.'
ESTHER ALWAYS REPLIED, 'I KNOW MORRIS, BUT THAT
HELICOPTER RIDE IS FIFTY DOLLARS, AND FIFTY DOLLARS IS FIFTY DOLLARS'
ONE YEAR ESTHER AND MORRIS WENT TO THE FAIR, AND MORRIS SAID, 'ESTHER, I'M 85 YEARS OLD. IF I DON'T RIDE THAT HELICOPTER, I MIGHT NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE.'
TO THIS, ESTHER REPLIED, 'MORRIS THAT HELICOPTER RIDE IS FIFTY DOLLARS, AND FIFTY DOLLARS IS FIFTY DOLLARS.'
THE PILOT OVERHEARD THE COUPLE AND SAID, 'FOLKS I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL. I'LL TAKE THE BOTH OF YOU FOR A RIDE.IF YOU CAN STAY QUIET FOR THE ENTIRE RIDE AND DON'T SAY A WORD I WON'T CHARGE YOU A PENNY! BUT IF YOU SAY ONE WORD IT'S FIFTY DOLLARS.
MORRIS AND ESTHER AGREED AND UP THEY WENT. THE PILOT DID ALL KINDS OF FANCY MANEUVERS, BUT NOT A WORD WAS HEARD. HE DID HIS DAREDEVIL TRICKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT STILL NOT A WORD.
WHEN THEY LANDED, THE PILOT TURNED TO MORRIS AND SAID, 'BY GOLLY, I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET YOU TO YELL OUT, BUT YOU DIDN'T. I'M IMPRESSED!'
MORRIS REPLIED, 'WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I ALMOST SAID SOMETHING WHEN ESTHER FELL OUT, BUT YOU KNOW, FIFTY DOLLARS IS FIFTY DOLLARS!'
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
