Hello everyone!! It has been a beautiful week. Since I have been talking about funny things the family says, my grandson Ethan—the one that is super smart but has no common sense—said to me one day, “Nana, I have been having those jolly horses like you have.”
Hmmmm, I say… “Jolly horses?” I’m thinking, what is he talking about? Then it hit me—he meant Charlie horses. I used to get them a lot, and they are definitely not jolly.
I saw this video on Facebook of a UPS man being chased by turkeys. I mean, the man was running for his life. He was trying to deliver a package, and that turkey was chasing him like a rabid dog. I have been almost attacked by a turkey myself, so I felt so sorry for him. When something with feathers comes after you, it is a different kind of scary. Symber McConnell is scared to death of chickens. I’m telling you, if you ever get chased, you are scarred for life.
Do y’all remember the Southwest Times Record newspaper? I used to love to read that paper—work the crossword and read the police reports. One time there was a police report that said a 39-year-old Fort Smith woman reported a man threw a jar of salsa at her head when she told him to be quiet because he was being loud while eating and she was trying to sleep. That just cracked me up. I guess she won’t do that again.
I do crazy things. I shaved my legs one time, and when I finished I noticed I had left the cover on the razor, so I had to do my first work over. That’s what my mom would say if we weren’t doing a good job on our chores—she’d tell us, “You’re going to do your first work over if you don’t do it right.”
I know I am rambling, but I have had a busy week. I promise to do better next time. Y’all have a great week!!
