Part three of the story Tomorrow.
What beautiful pictures...I know they hold a lot of memories for you and Nana...your daddy is a very handsome man,you look a lot like him,he and Nana make a beautiful couple...and what a beautiful child they produce from love...you look just like your dad.Nana's swim-suit is the style of the day...boy,she have a great figure...I can hardly wait .
ReplyDeleteI know Nana was very please to see them and to know you cared so much,it takes so little to make her happy,she may not say it,but you can see it in her eyes...lot's of LOL my friend.
ReplyDeleteMy story is almost done.Just another twenty minutes.I have been crying while I was typing and the keyboard is wet.Every time I read that 'daffodil' quote I choke up.
ReplyDeleteNan said she was the one who gave your address to Gil.She said your dad kept a pretty close eye on Gil, trying to figure out just what he was after.
As I was typing,so many more memories came back to me.I think I could fill a book or two.Good times, bad times, hilarious times.
ReplyDeleteNana is in a good mood today .I think I tapped into her memories of good times and she's savoring the moment.
Oh Jeannie,I know it brings back memories,you can't help but shed some tears...sweetie there are more tears of joy,it seems like only yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHow is your article coming along?
ReplyDeleteWe have more cases of swine flu up here now,scattered from coast to coast.It travels so fast.A lot of Canadians travel south to get the sun in the cold months.We just don't want Jakey to get it.The last cold he had put him in hospital for a blood transfusion.
I want to know what Gil did when Nan gave him your address.Did he turn up at your dad's house.She told me that's where you had all your mail delivered.
ReplyDeleteJust think how happy Nana is going to be when see read her love story,I think you should put it in book for a family keepsake,you write so beautiful..thats what dad told me I should do,I am gathering mine together ,Gil says he will help me sort it out and find someone to ghost write it for me,I could have a copy for each of my sisters/brothers.
ReplyDeleteMy story is coming along ,I make so many notes and have to put them together...I am gettin there..
ReplyDeleteYour brothers and sisters would love it and appreciate it if you made a family book.All the memmories would be preserved for their kids and grandkids to read.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a funny thing...He told daddy he want to take me out...Gil didn't know daddy was aware of who he was...daddy invited him and his dad to a barbeque/fish fry ...hahaha Did I tell you about him catching me in the elevator along and kiss me..
ReplyDeleteI got there late on purpose,I walk over to him and asked him did he want to poke me..Chris said hell yes he do,why you think he's here.
HA!...Your family is so outspoken.You guys don't hold back.I love that.
ReplyDeleteI never heard about the elevator kiss.Sneaky bastard,you couldn't get away or scream for help.
I didn't let daddy hear me,And it was on...after he kissed me ...hell I had to see what was to him...
ReplyDeleteNot that I believe for a moment that you wanted to get away.If you had been in the mood,you would have opened his pants and helped yourself.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to scream for him to come back,I felt the dangle rise up and it seem like it was nice size.
ReplyDeleteIt really is fun to be bad isn't it? We live up to our name.
ReplyDeleteDid you have a tape measure with you?
We have a saying in the family,if it's anything you don't want people to know don't tell...
ReplyDeleteMen don't realize we're taking all kinds of measurements and tests when they kiss us.
ReplyDeleteI always had a criterion for kisses.I didn't like the feeling of being practically swallowed or being choked on a tongue pushed too far.
Although,you have to remember,those long tongues can also be handy.
ReplyDeleteNo ...I let my hand slip down and brushed across it and smiled at him....I got my first letter the next day,I carried him home with me.He didn't know the town,he would call cabs and followed them until he learn his way.
ReplyDeleteBrian is a lovely kisser.He ain't handsome but he knows how to love.
ReplyDeleteYou bet you bottom dollar they can come in handy...hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou named this blog...you gave me a lot of names...the first I used was "BORN TO BE BAD" it ended up in out space hahaha
What handsome has to do with it...it's only in the eye of the beholder...Brian is very handsome,and he know how to kiss and poke you..(GIGGLES)wonder what the truck driver was thinking when he saw the two of you..hahaha
ReplyDeleteHadn't he ever heard of maps?Or GPS's?
ReplyDeleteThe truck driver smiled at me.
ReplyDeleteHe was using one of the casino's cars,he was going to drive him back on his return trip from Reno.
ReplyDeleteAh..Now I get it.
ReplyDeleteBrian was so nervous on our first date he drank a little too much.While we were dancing he kept laughing,that's what alcohol does to him.Then he looked a little green around the gills.
He wasn't an old smoothie like Gil.
I wonder if that truck driver tells the story to his friends still,of what he saw that day.I wonder if he got a little turned on.
ReplyDeleteShit ..it took Brian six (6) weeks to get the nerve to call you,I bet he don't get green around the gills now.I bet he can hold his own now,I think I made Gil a little nervous being so out spoken,he is use to it now I hope,if not to bad.hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou know he got turned on and I bet he thinks about it and wished it was him...I never understood why women didn't talk about sex like men...my family is very open about sex,we don't talk nasty,but we do talk openly.
ReplyDeletei think Gil likes your honesty.He works in a sphere where people are sneaky and insincere.They try to get the better of you.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to the lake tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteI like openess too.I'm pretty open about sex.It's a 'good thing' as Martha Stewart says.We don't talk about death and destruction,or say things to hurt people.We don't promote war and violence.
ReplyDeleteSex is good clean fun.People of America,'grow up'.
It' better to be truthful..you lie you forgets or have to keep thinking of more lies and then you have an avalanche running out of control.
ReplyDeleteBrian is bringing the boat home from storage tomorrow so we can clean it and outfit for summer.You have to get all the antifreeze out of the water pipes and the engine.That's to keep the ice from bursting things.Then we have to put all the stuff back in it.Cushions and mattresses,pots and pans.Have to make the love nest cozy.
ReplyDeleteI like Martha Stewart...nothing wrong in good clean fun.I have a good man that gives me great sex.When I asked sis about sex..she told me what I need ed to know depending on my age..hell I never knew to much,we would watch the animals and Chris when we could.
ReplyDeleteJaye is already up at the lake.She says it's still pretty cold at night.The warm weather is taking so long to come this year.
ReplyDeleteYou know,it's possible we changed the truck driver's life.He was about to leave his wife,but he saw us and it reminded him of a hot summer night he had in the back of a ford with her,so he went home and tried again to make it work.
Happy Ending.
I remember when you had to get the boat ready for the winter..the twins wanted to have a sleep out .
ReplyDeleteThe weather has change a lot,I never notice until met you,I would hear people talking and not pay attention...we as human being are also on the endangered list,hell we don't even know it,"OR" maybe we don't care.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Chris knows he gave you girls such a good education.I'll tell you where I got mine.
ReplyDeleteJersey is mostly French.They believe in nude sunbathing.Just a half a mile down the beach from where I lived there was a 'men's only' nude beach.Mostly gay men went there.We used to sit up in the rocks overlooking the beach and watch them.We saw everything.I was only six.
See you saved one man from buying choochie.hahaha
ReplyDeleteYes,Sweetie,we have fucked up our planet and so far,have nowhere else to go.What right did we have to destroy it and the animals on it?
ReplyDeleteNo Chris didn't know .he had a place in the barn upstairs,we made a hole in the wall so we could see,gay men,now that would have made our day.
ReplyDeleteI think about my babies ,they will only know about the animals/birds/etc. from books,or movies...we might just fuck that up also.
ReplyDeletejust stopped by to visit Keyser .He's not feeling too well .He says he has the flu but it's not the swine flu.How does he know?
ReplyDeleteI stops by to see what he is up to,he's been feeling under the weather for a couple of days now,I hate he left,he could have just clicked adult thing in setting.,and taken his e-mail off the blog.I hate wordpress
ReplyDeleteour icons don't work on his blog.I can't be bothered to go to the trouble of figuring out how to do that.It can be done.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't seem as friendly as he used to be.
ReplyDeleteHe's a bit highbrow.He writes text books and citiques manuscripts, I understand.Probably does a lot of other related work...A Brainiac.
ReplyDeleteHe's also a Canadian.
ReplyDeleteGotta go girl.I want to finish this story and move on to something more cheerful.I've got some great photos I'd like to run.
ReplyDeleteI notice that also...He was also doing the same when he was more friendly,but like I say I pick my friends very careful.I am the same way today as I wre yesterday.I make no excuses.
ReplyDeleteO.K. sweetie have a great night and see you tomorrow...want your story to stay on stop for a couple days. Nite NEE
ReplyDeleteCiao bella(goodbye beautiful)
ReplyDeleteMay you dream of magical gardens,trees with golden apples and flowers with tiny fairies dancing on their petals.
