Yikes!! LATE START ALERT!!!

Egads, man…

Well, our normal routine is off a bit today, and will likely be off for the next few days. We have some company staying with us, family from Mrs. That Dan Guy’s side…

Normally, we get home after our workday, and settle into a meal made completely from scratch. We hearth fresh bread in the oven, while cleaning vegetables we’ve grown in our garden. Our bodies are purified by well water we’ve extracted from our own back yard.

Then we settle in to watch half an hour of TV, a show with our favourite hosts: Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker. They are a hoot, those two.

Before we turn in for the night, about 9:30 PM, we’ll either do some needlepoint together, or compare photos of native bird species that we’ve snapped while out nature walking.

Well, upon our company’s arrival last night, everyday routine went out the window. Before the wings on their plane had even cooled off, they wanted to go hit the town, and get into “some trouble”. I explained that Mrs. That Dan Guy and I had just taken our black leather jackets in for dry cleaning, but we knew of a place where we could all go enjoy some delightful choir practice!!

Instead, we left the airport, and drove here to our home, where we proceeded to ignore our nourishing well water, and pound back a few alcoholic beverages. I have to admit, it was sort-of pleasing to taste that stuff. In moderation, of course…

So, we stayed in, but now I’ll have to think of other ways to keep us out of “trouble”. I hope I still have that Parcheesi board game somewhere down in the basement…

Chow for now!!

Parcheesi? No, no, go for the Candyland. Or, if you're feeling particulary dangerous, how about Chutes and Ladders? That could really get you into "Some Trouble"! Have fun.

Why not just play Trouble?? That is a great game.

Candyland?? How have I missed this game? Chutes and Ladders, for sure, but I know not of this Candyland...

Ah, Trouble - "pop goes Trouble", or something like that - a true classic!!
