It’s Thursday, and that means we go to the Elks. Mary and I discussed dancing, and she wants to take a dance class to refresh our skills, and I agree, until I found out what she had in mind!
Down, Girl, Down I Say!!!
Scout was running in circles because he had heard he was going to the beauty shop today, which meant he would be beautiful for a week! We got ready to go, and I backed the van up to the curb, making it easier for his majesty to enter this chauffeured limo. We talked to him about not getting his nails done with nail polish this time; that was a little “over the top”!
We brought fresh corn from our garden to the Elks, and Will misunderstood me when I said, “It’s in the bag.” We all took a vote, and this is an improvement.
We all rushed to tie it around the neck, but then decided to forgo the opportunity!
Will and Iris took four ears of the magnificent corn, and reports came back later in the day that the corn was perfect!
Will is now back under control!
When we get bored, we play with our food just like little kids, but we are a lot more artistic.
Mary provided the nose!!
George and Bob listen to a great story from Will.
Bill Capps joined us, and a little later, Sandee joined us as well.
It was another fantastic lunchtime cavorting session with harpoons flying back and forth at an astounding rate!
Bill, George, Will, and Bob departed, and it was just Sandee and us. Sandee finished her lunch, and we joined her and talked about the upcoming wedding on the 21st. She was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.
After departing the Elks, we went to the hairdresser’s shop, called “The Clip Joint”, to pick up Mr. America. Upon seeing us, we went into the sashaying mode of wiggling his tail and throwing his head back and forth so we could see his mane.
We took the time to drop off some chili and carrot cake to Jeff; we’re attempting to fatten him up!
Of course, we had to walk back and forth several times, eliciting compliments and posing for photos. We was singing to “West Side Story”.
He keeps remembering “West Side Story”
My digital camera almost ran out of film!!
He was worn out and finally lay down to sleep for the rest of the night.
I swear that between his hairdresser and Mary’s desire to take pole dancing lessons, they are driving me crazy (which, by the way, is a very short drive!).
We went into the TV room to finish off Mondo Cane and got into another action comedy from England called “Deep Cover”. It was pretty funny. Three improv actors are asked to infiltrate the London underworld by the police.
Mary fixed a gourmet dinner of crackers and spreadable cheese along with some beef jerky; it turned out to be a movie night.
At one of the self-generated intermissions, Mary came in with a gift-wrapped package. I immediately thought it was her leather-lined dancing pole outfit. Nope! It was my Father’s Day present, and it was summer jammies! Yes, Paul now had summer jammies to wear while watching TV. They are shorts on the bottom and a loose-fitting soft top! I immediately modeled them for her and was also feeling pretty, although I did NOT sing like Scout.
We hit the sack around 10:00 pm and went right to sleep. I was still hearing Scout singing in my head.
We were both barely able to make it to bed!
