And all through my house everything is stirring.
I had to take Debbie’s new ride to the dealer to fix the passenger seat (won’t slide). So I called my beloved niece for a ride.
“look here I need ya to follow me to the Honda dealer to put D’s car in the shop, and then take me back when it’s fixed.”
“I was just about to call YOU. I noticed I don’t have anything in Joseph’s stocking, what do you suggest”
“we’ll go by CVS and get some gummi bears, Dots, Milk Duds, and stuff like that.”
“Think so?”
“Oh yeah thats what D puts in mine, highlight of the holiday”
First thing we had to do was go by D’s office and swap rides out. I had to leave her the “silver bullet” (our 92 Nissan Sentra.) Somehow it still runs, ticking valves and all. A ride I inherited from my mother. I prefer my motorcycles. I don’t how, but this car just wont quit. A bunch of stuff is leaking and ticking but the sum of the parts is greater then anyone thing. The AC quit long time ago, as did the speed-a-meter, (I know its a speedometer Juggles, but thats what I call it). Only one window works, and I lost the gas cap.
My appt was at 930. Folks, that place was like a Doctors office. A fancy waiting room with a big LCD screen and ladies coming out calling ya back when they find out what’s wrong with ya ride. “Mr. Williams? Come with me please.” And you go back and hear. “I’m sorry to tell you this but your transmission has a fatal condition, and you’re out of warranty.”
I told this lady at a big desk. “Look here, I see this is set up like doctors office, so does this mean my appt is at 930 but nobody is gonna look at my ride till 12? I mean this car only has 600 miles on it, I just bought it.”
“Oh no sir, someone will get right on it” And they did. The docs can learn something from these folks.
So I got in the car with Megan. “Here baby, better lemme drive.”
"you don’t think I can drive?’
“No”
So we’re going down the road.
"Guy! Guy! Lets eat at Subway!
“I ate there yesterday baby”

She can poke her lip out better then any 2 year old. “Ok, Ok, I’ll get the meatball sandwich today. Sheesh you use me up so bad.”
“Yipppppppeeee”
So when get in a short line. The guy right in front of us is a good ole boy, in a heating and ac repairman uniform, and he orders up-
“Thats right gimme a foot long, ok now put double meat on there”
“bacon?”
“oh yeah.” She put 2 slices on.
“Oh nooooooooooo put more then that. I really like bacon” She put 2 more. “Really pile it on I’ll tell ya when. I reallllly like bacon.” So heck she puts about 15 on there, before he says, “thats good.”
Then he looked around and told everybody again. “I reaaaaaaaaalyyy like bacon, I mean I really like it.”
So they slide his sandwich down, and he says, “Yeah put alooot of olives on there too. A whooole lot of olives, might as put some extra turkey on to, but I really like bacon.”
I made sure to keep little Megan near me so they don’t try to put her on next.
I mean this sandwich was HUGE. The girl couldn’t close it, musta weighed 10 lbs. They had to double wrap it. LOL…
He was laughing at the register when he looked around the place, and said “I realllly like bacon.” He was giddy and in a good mood, with the Holidays coming up and all, and with his sandwich.
I told Meggie, “watch this”
The girl rung it up, “That’ll be 27.50”
!!!
I almost fell back. Everyone in line was laughing.
The good ole boy didn’t say another word, just took his sandwich and left. Not another word. He went from gushing to lockjaw, as if you pulled a switch.
“Joseph told me y’all are ridin around lookin at lights tonight”
“Thats right”
“I wanna go”
“Now baby, this is just us (me, brother and our sons) just the 4 of us. Tradition. We usually go eat then look at the lights.”
“How come the girls don’t get to go?”
“If you go then Chris girlfriend will wanna go”
She stuck her bottom lip out again. “Poutin ain’t gonna work this time.”
“look it, Stacey is coming home with Chris just go over to the house and D will take y’all out to eat, and maybe even take y’all on your own light ride.”
“Yeah!!!”
We went by CVS and Meggie got stuff for J’s stocking, about 10 dollars worth of stuff. “Dang he’s gonna have a awesome stocking”
So later on I was back at the house. D called me.
“Didja get the car in the shop?”
“yeah Chris will be here soon, get him to take me to retieve it.”
“What was wrong with it?”
“A nickle was in the track”
“dang”
“What I say. Look here, the girls are coming over tonight, while we look at lights. Meggie ain’t got the understanding this is a guy thing. Ride them around.”
“Ok but I got stuff to do here first to get ready for tomorrow night. They can help me, I do have to go to wal mart though. I’ll take them with me.”
“That’ll be good. I’m gonna dog Stacey for being the only Baptist in the bunch LOL”
“No you’re not. We don’t know her well enough”
“well ok, but maybe oneday, we never know how long one is gonna be around.”
“Well he’s YOUR son, I just carried him”
So tonight I’m riding around lookin at lights. The tackier the better.
