Friday edition ROCKY ROAD GAZETTE 08/18/01 0330 EST Mornin' JD Sr.
Good morning all mine! Welcome home dear hearts, welcome home! Get in here, get some coffee, you g&gs know where everything is. Set yourself down and dig in..there's plenty for all..I'll smack your hands and set Broom to watching you..NO feeding the dogs from the table..They are NOT starving no matter how pitiful they look! Watch yourselves with the Lilyputz! She is a con artist supreme and suffers from terminal cute! Look at them lil shoe button eyes and shiny nose..Oops! she's conning the emom..Why me?!?
Wowser, do I have some juicy gossip today. Annie threw a big bash last nite! A sock hop! Well, I got there a little late, Broom had the hiccups on the way. Try that for a real ride sometime! Had to stop several times on the way to the Malt Shop just to let her catch her breath. Did you know it gets really dark outside when the sun sets? Well, when Broom would hiccup, her lights would go out. This does not bode well for the emom who is old, feeble and generally run down! (Would these wide and lovely green eyes lie to you? Oh yeah!)
Anyway, we finally arrived, late and a little more than shaken...Champagne would not have lasted so long!
I'm telling you these eyes have never beheld such a sight in their lives! Party color theme was red, black and white! (my fav colors, except for the rest of the spectrum). Streamers all over, confetti from one end of the room to the other, balloons floating near the ceiling and people still dancing up a storm. Jukebox playing all them oldies.
Now for the good stuff. I tried to get to Annie and KK for an interview but they were as slippery as eels. Never did get to ask who won the prizes cause they wouldn't stop dancing long enuf to get off the table to be interviewed.
I looked around for someone else...hmmm! four feet sideways on the floor over there. I lift the table cloth and I find the Napanag lying under there. Blanket askew and snoring up a storm...Him was worn out from tapping time with all four and trying to avoid stepping on people at the same time..for a horse, I think he'd be pretty graceful..but I didn't see any thing but the aftermath! Britgal, our professional work-out trainer was zonked out over by the bandstand recovering from her days on the physical fitness circuit. There were worn out bodies strewn all over the place. After finding Napa under the table I was afraid to look under any more. I certainly wasn't going to look in the window wells!
Now, I know that the above trio are gonna get me for making this up as I went along but I couldn't resist! I guess I'll spend a few days in the 'fall out shelter' (my cave in the mountain side) and hope they don't follow the dogs to my hiding place.
Great party, Annie! Ya done good!
KK, a BIG gotcha coming your way! I called Mars, Inc. yesterday about your creative ways with the M&M's. Yes, I did! I explained, as best I could, what you had been doing and that you needed more items (identifiers) for your portraits! Well, the guy, who was very nice but had no sense of humor, finally understood what I was trying to relay and said he would pass it on to the right department. I had the feeling he had some serious doubts about my sanity! Shucky darns, he didn't want to play!
And a big fandamtastic for the emom! I got a px from Howie. We work for the city up in Ohio. He's a jarhead and one of mine. I've invited him to join Eons! We talked for almost an hour and were still running our mouths when the phone started acting up again. Gots to call repair service again. I learned all the latest gossip about the goings on in the city. A lot of OMG's, you're kidding's, no way's fell out of my mouth. Some of the strangest people ended up in the strangest jobs! Yeah, Howie I'm telling on you and I gotcha! Your first one on Eons!
Well, shoot, I guess that's it for today's news. Nope, one more item...BIG dog will be here Monday, God willing, the creek don't rise and the snow don't fall! Also, found a big white puppy...if guy doesn't pick critter up, it's mine...Oh dear, my cup runneth! Oh well, what's one more mouth to feed if it needs a home....I think I am starting to get more than ankle deep in critters!
Later, all my dear hearts. Welcome home, be at ease, you are safe here in my heart and home. Huggies and much love to all of mine where ever you may be. Go in safety. The emom

Hi. I'm sort of, one of the new kids on the block. I just read the Grand Opening Event, of the new TLS Malt Shop, and thought I'd drop by.
Any specials on today?
Thanks and have a good one.
Susie

Sock hop was a lot of fun last night, I found out one thing for sure, I am to old to boogie all night long, today will be one of not much activity I have places hurting I did not know I had, why even my hair hurts.

As my hero Kinky Friedman would say, "Hold the weddin." Evilmom misrepresented my condition. I was resting my eyes and recharging my batteries for the mambo contest. As for the M & Ms man doubting emom's sanity, he would have to find it first....Gotcha!

Just admit it NN like the rest of us you just ran out of steam. Found out not as young as once was. I will agree on one thing you do have a gotcha on Emom.
