In leu of My Sunday morning humor, I offer
this short clip. I'm sorry Percy, But I feel no
humor today.
My youngest daughter is upset with me. She asked
me to babysit her animals and place while she was
away for a few days.
Her place is a million miles from any civilization to begin
with. She's so far off grid that to reach her place one
must drive a treacherous dirt road 14 miles to see
a power pole or a neighbor.
Which makes it a perfect place for me, except for the heat.
What I don't comprehend is why she has a locked gate in
the middle of nowhere!
Well she left after many hugs promising she be back in a few
days, and oh would I run to town and get groceries and water
as she hadn't had the time before I came. That and dad would
pay. lol.
Well my beautiful princess left and on her way out she locked
the gate. And you guessed it, she took the key!
After day three and no daughter I was getting very hungry
and my thirst was extreme in the high ninety degree heat.
Day four I quenched my hunger and thirst with her cat.
and day six, seven, and eight it was the dog.
All this time I kept thinking back to when my grand daughter
was four/five years old and every time she got a new pet
she would call all excited and tell me about it. Always ending
with, "and grandpa you can't eat it!"
I could have blamed their disappearance on the coyotes,
but she walked in and caught me in the act. As this is a
family rant I won't repeat what she said.
What was ironic is she had wrapped the chain around the gate
set the lock, but didn't lock it.
And people wonder why my rocking horse ran away!!
