AUNT IRMA..GOTTA LOVE HER

This is Aunt Irma....ain't she cute...? This is last years picture. I spend every Thanksgiving up by her house (ok trailer) And every year I come home tired...I do the everything for her when I am there for her..dishes,cooking....etc. I do it for her because I don't want to add any extra work for her while I am there and..hey..some things she just can't do well anymore...so this year I cleaned her fridge again...something dissolved in the veggie drawer EWWWWWW......LOL. I did the dishes..She did do the dinner for Friday when I got there tho.....I did dishes...she complained it wasn't as thick as it normally turns out....skeetie and meatballs (no complaints from hungry fat woman me) Next day I walked to grocery store (one mile one way) and bought groceries for us....My cousin did ask for a list of stuff to get for her while I was up but the stuff never came...lol She felt so bad she said "I never thought I'd see the day when you came up here and had to buy groceries for us" I told her it was ok I don't mind.. anyway she said why didn't you wait to go to the store June would have taken you...I said a l never hurt anyone...It was the first trip of many...lol I even did a trip to family dollar which has to be three miles round trip...yipes..won't be doin that again soon..lol three trips to the true value....(hardware) was tyring to replace some knobs on her kitchen drawers for her that have been broken now for at least 5 years...lol i got the knobs....screws were to short....off I went back to hardware store...got two new longer screws...~sigh~ still to short...I''l take care of that tomorrow...the man will think I'm nuts...lol so then..she was commenting on her thermometer it's says 50 degrees..it's nice out I said Aunt Irma..it's been on 50 degrees when I got here....I think its broke... you think so she said I said yea..i know so cause It wasn't 50 degrees when I got up this am....So any way when I headed back to the hardware store for 2 inch srews I got her two new thermometers pretty one's with a cardinal and a blue jay on them..WELL guess who had to wash a window to put up the new one???? Hmmmmm well I kinda had to the old one was stuck there for so long you could still see the outline even AFTER I washed it...lol well as long as I had the papertowel with me...ill do the other dooor too....and the storm door....had to figure out how to get the other side done tho because her screen don't come out (take that window out dummy) well any way got the storm door all figured out and wahed and decided to do the window next to the door she had to take out screen...had to stand on the recycle bin to reach. Well..then I decided to to the other window too the on she stares out most of the time...so I had to carry recycle bin to the other side of the trailer.....well anyway she gots clean windows...lol She is hard of hearing..and her miracle ear hearing aides went ti hell sometime last year so hre friend June bought here one of those silver bullet things ...you know the ones...you can hear things across the street...well any way she companies she cannot hear anything out of this thing...I say lemme see it...so she hands it to me...I put it in my hear..I cannot hear anything and I an hear..I said you got the box this came in?? she hands me the box...I open it.......there inside was a charger cord..have you charged it??

I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP........

On Saturday on the way home from work I decided to do a little shopping I needed a couple of new hoodies ..you know the sweat shirts with hoods...anyway I was waiting for the bus to take me to the store I wanted to go to...and.... Well I feel so special now...lol....I got to ride the bus with JESUS!!!!!!! I did for real! At least that's what he screamed at everyone and no one in particular anyway....it all started a few minutes after I got off the one bus to wait for the other..I arrived and there where two older(ish) men on the stop already JESUS and some other guy...and I went into te shelter to sit...and the other guy got up to leave the shelter to for some reason....and then two young men (maybe 18ish) came into the shelter JESUS guy asks ..to everyone and no one in particular..ARE YOU GOD? I AM JESUS THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 (according to the JESUS guy) I kinda looked like ohhh boy....the young men we're snickering so was I trying to stifle them actually...the JESUS guy went silent and continued his pacing.......and minute or two later he (the JESUS guy) announced to everyone and no one in particular.....I AM A COMMUNIST......I SABOTAGE COMMUNIST WATCH ME SABOTAGE YOU..... set off some more snickers from me and the young men (yes I know it is not nice to snicker but...couldn't help it....) and he went silent again...and continued his pacing....a few minutes later... I AM JESUS.THE HOLY SPIRIT.AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1965 (and something else about Martin Luther King That I did not quite catch) and went silent again..and some thing about an organ WATCH ME EAT YOUR ORGAN....(!) and JESUS guy goes silent again.....untill....he announces to everyone and no one in particular...I AM A NAZI WANT TO SEE MY NAZI STAR? and something about a hand warmer....DO YOU WANT TO TOUCH THE HAND WARMER?? (ummmmm.......no) Well about this time the bus comes so we all get on the bus I and the young men go to the back of the bus because JESUS sat in the front....well...NOW he is telling everyone and no one in particular...that he is going to have to fix some copper tubing on his still beacuse he sells moonshine......and annouced a few other things too and the bus pulled over and picked up some otyer poor sap who hears JESUS guy yelling about his broken still looks ant me and rolls his eyes..and bout that time my stop was up..and I pulled the dinger and as I was gotting off the bus I told the new guy...that he is JESUS too.....lol I shoul mention the bus I was taking did go to the VA hospital...so I hope that is where JESUS was heading...to get his meds refilled......
anyway that was my Saturday interesting huh??
