THANKS CLEM NICE EATS

Ok so I went to diner with Clem not long ago.

He likes steak, so I told him to meet me for lunch at one of those local steak houses.

When I got there, Clem had not yet arrived. So I found a good table by the window, ordered a coffee and waited. About ten minutes later he showed up.

He was full of news about what was going on in the neighborhood, he always has the best gossip, funny how them mailmen never miss nothin.

I realized as we were talkin that I hadn't pulled a prank on Clem for a long time, now would be as good a time as any.

We usually pay for our own lunch, so I needed an idea on how to get Clem to pick up the tab, with out just asking. My prank mode is kickin in.

I noticed that Clem knew a ton of people, as they would all stop by the table and say hi, my idea is born.

We order our food, and I order much more than usual, Clem, noticed, as he remarked, man you must really be hungry today Mr.Bob.

Yep, worked real hard today on that back yard, moved some dirt, and burned some brush, I must have really built up an appetite.

We finished our meal and Clem ordered another coffee, I told him that I really need to get back to that yard and make sure that the fire completely burned out.

Clem, always waves at anyone that waves at him.

So when I get to the cashier, I tell her that today is my birthday, and that fellow over at that table over ther is paying for my lunch.

She asks me which one, I smile at Clem, wave real big, yeah thats him, the guy thats wavin.

Thanks Clem I really enjoyed lunch, I chuckle on my way out.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL OF?

It's that time of year that we all give thanks.

Here are a few things that I am thankful for, or maybe not.

In the comments section

let us all know

to thank

or

not to thank.

That is the question.

• I am thankful for memories of a good strong economy, the days when you did not hear recession or depression.
• I am thankful that I am not a turkey, they hang around, git fed. then cooked and carved up, eaten, have jokes made of em, lol dig in.
• I am thankful for all those little envelopes they send with the bills I owe, I mean I pay most everything on line any way, so I never have a shortage of envelopes.
• I am thankful for our Veterans, that keep our country safe, and our freedom intact.
• I am not thankful for terrorist that threaten us in the first place.
• I am thankful that I live in a country that I can even express in the same breath what I am, or am not thankful for.
• I am thankful for having roads to travel on, except when they are full of pot holes and hazards.
• I am thankful for aluminum cans, as they have provided an income for so many.
• I am thankful for laughter, as it keeps me sane.
• I am thankful for tears, as they release my pain.
• I am thankful for women, yall keep me smilin.
• I am thankful for breweries, yall keep me talkin
• I am thankful for fish, yall keep me lyin
• Most of all I am thankful for family and friends, and I have plenty to be thankful for, my children, the clan, my blogger friends, my IRS buddies,a home to live in, food to eat, and a plot that is already paid for.
• It is really hard to tell anyone and everyone, what I am and am not thankful for, there are so many things to be thankful for, for me that it is ridiculous, especially when I know that there are so many out there hurting, be thankful for what you have, and help someone that may be a little less fortunate than you, regardless of how little you have to share.
• HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND BIG HUGS
• BOB

WINNERS

Bubba Buys Billy Ray A Pop

Bess is still at her brothers.
Talkin bout her brothers, I ever told ya'll how stoopid they are?

Well just in case I forgot, I'll  tell you another little story that will prove my point.

Bubba, likes to play those one dollar lottery things, and really who doesn't.
He always buys the ticket then waits around for the little ping pong balls to come outta, that blowin thing with the numbers.
If he wins any thing, mostly a couple bucks, he buys more tickets and does the same thing over again.
Bubba does this ever Wednesday, and Friday without fail.

Any way, they had the drawing and Bubba knew he had one of the numbers. He was busy, in the middle of fixin his truck an all, so, he asked his brother Billy Ray, if he would go down an cash em in.
Billy Ray, says sure, will you buy me a pop. Ok then I'll go.

Bubba knows , Billy Ray is a little slow, so, he tells him, if any of the tickets are winners, just bring em back an I'll deal with em later, but one of em , this one right here, I already know it has a wining number on it, so use this one, to git your pop, and if there is some left over on it, git me more tickets, ok?

Billy Ray understood, so he takes off for the store.
He walks in, an tells the guy, hey, I'm cashin in this here ticket for my brother, he said I could have a pop out of it, and if anything extra on it git more tickets.
The guy said ok then.
Billy Ray got his pop and went on home.

He went up to Bubba, gave him his paper bag, and the other tickets, Bubba said, any of these winners, Billy Ray turned red, he had forgot to have em checked, when he told Bubba , Well Bubba got mad, for just a minute.
He looked in the bag and said "WHAT the hell is this"
Billy Ray, said I dunno, just what ever was left over from your winnin ticket, didn't they put the change in there.

Yeah, the change is in here, and how damn many tickets is this. Billy Ray said I dunno, just know it took bout thirty minutes to print em all outs all.

So Bubba calls that little store, and asked that ole boy how many tickets did I win , sure looks like a lotta tickets here.
Yep, nineteenthousandninetynine of em, woulda been one mor cept Billy Ray got that pop there.

HAPPY FRIDAY THE THIRTEETH

Bess' Brother Jesse Gits Married

You know Bess comes from the hill country, an up yonder in them hills, when a boy turns eighteen, he is spected to git a job, help the family out, or just plain git married an move down the road.
 When Bess' brother, Jesse, just before he turned eighteen, went to their paw, an asked what he should do in findin a woman to git married.

His paw tole him, you just go out yonder an find the ugliest wowman, what you can find.

So. Jesse, looked and looked, till he found the ugliest that he could find.

They got married an his family was real proud.

A year went by an Jesse, came to his paw. Paw, this ugly thing is wearin a little thin. I can't git eggsited no more, she's just too ugly, whut should I do.
Paw said, ain't no problem, take her to the city and find one them plastick face doctors, he'll fix her right up.
You sure paw, yep, had your moma fixed, and it werked out just fine.

So, jesse took his bride to the city to the plastick face doctor.
So, Doc, you think you can fixer up?
Oh yeah son, no problem.

Whatcha gonna do, make her nose, wider, shorter, a smaller, or less pointed, or what?

Well, I thought I'd start by puttin her nose between her eyes first.

Traveling Brothers Of Bess Ain't Too Brite Neither

Man, Bess is gonna be so mad at me when she gits back,tellin all these stories on her family.

She has two of the dumbest brothers I have ever met in my life.

We were stayin at the ole family farm, and kept hearing this "tip, tip, tippity tap" noise all night long, it was comming from that ole barn out there.

So, in the mornin I asked, Billy Joe, and Bobby Ray, what the hell all the noise was, all night long.They said "come on down to the barn and we'll show you our little project."

So, I went down to the barn and I could not believe my eyes.
They had all this metal, a ton of welding equipment, a couple of old tractors, a few old cars, and barrels of fuel.

They told me that last night they were building a fuel tank for this here rocket, they is buildin.
Man, it is impressive, bout 20feet in diameter, all kinds of wiring and such, complete with this here nose cone and ever thin.

I asked, Billy Joe, and Bobby Ray, where you boys planni on goin in this here rocket ship, no ways.
They tole me they was a goin to the Sun, in a very excited manner.
I said "the Sun"!!! Now you boys know that is the hottest thing we know about, hell it will melt that there space ship a fore you even git close to it."

Now I know you boys aren't that stoopid, have you even thought about that?

Billy Joe, now he's the smartest of the two, he spoke up real loud, cause I think it made him mad and all.

"Bob, you must really think we're stoopid or sumthin, we've thought this whole thing out and ever thin, thats the reason, we are leavin in the middle of the night, before the Sun even comes up."

Bess Mondays

Bess, is still outta town so I'll tell you a little story she told me about her three aunts one time.

Her aunst Sarry , Ida Bell, and Onie, well are widowed and lived together in this big ole two story house'

They wer sittin in the parlor down stairs.

When Sarry said, "I'm gittin tired think I'll go on up and start the bath and go to bed." So she went up the stairs, started the bath water.
"Now, I can't remember, was I gittin in the bath, or outta the bath."

Ida Bell and Onie heard her debating with herself.
Ida Bell says " poor dear I had better go and check on poor Sarry" so she rises and goes up the stairs.

She gits to the landing, and says " was I going up the stairs or down the stairs, up or down."

Onie says out loud  " I hope I never git like the two of you", and knocks on wood.

"Now was that the front door or the back door"

I Really Want To THANK_YOU TOO, been having a lot going on lately, so thanks for your e-mails.

An Early Note From Bess

I was so thrilled the way the awards thing came out, I just wanted to take this time to thank-you all.
If for any reason you wante to make a selection and simply missed it because I posted, please let me know, and I will rectify it. We love all of you and would not want you to be upset.
That said, I will now let you know a little more about Bob and I, we have had so many e-mails with questions, so , here goes.

Yes, Bob really did live at sea. In fact I wish he would write about it more. It was a tough, rough time in our lives, as he was gone on so many trips and gone for long periods of time.

No, Bob never ever, thought about becoming a minister, at any time, can you just imagine what the sermons would be about, or how they would be paraphrased, I just  can not.

Yes, Bob really does all of the remodeling himself, and yes it is very professional work, of course I may have a gun at my head while I am typing this, just kidding, no need to call 911, I truly enjoy the new up dated bathroom, kitchen, and dining room. Now praying for some mishap, I really would like a sewing room,lol.

No, Bob is not writing a book an the "adventures of Mr.Bob", I do not know where that rumor started, but ever since he read that one, he has tried to really take on the Mr. Bob . "persona", amusing, at times.

Yes, we are really simple people, in that we live with in our means and enjoy mostly normal simple things in life.

We are both fairly easy going, if there is a temper, it is mine. I must admit Bob, tolerates much more than I do.

No, Bob, is not a gun toting drunk, lol, can not find where that came from. He does hunt, and he does enjoy a beer, but he is not, nearly as bad about it as he writes.

Well, unless there are any more questions about us right now, I have to get ready to go to Coras' for her birthday, oh, yes and no, Bob and Cora get along, at times. Better to keep them separated from each other.

I am writing this a little early, because I need to get on the road. I will be back by Thursday.

Much love, many thanks, and as always, BIG BIG HUGS
Bess
