IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN TO SUE......................

My blogging friend Cheri from "Chez Cheri" always tells me I need to have a
feature called....
"It can only happen to Sue".....
Last night was one of those moments so in the interest of menopausal women
everywhere....
This one is for you....
Every night before bed......and about a dozen times a day.....
I have to get the Boo Dog a big bowl of water and ofcourse it has to have ice in it....
Even when he goes to the kennel I have to instruct the Ropers that Boo won't
drink water unless it has ice in it....
Sure...like the Ropers are going to give the dog ice water....
So around 1:00a.m. I staggered into the kitchen...
the Boss was already asleep
and like a little ritual I washed his bowl.....ran the cold water and preceded over to the
Ice Maker....
Bowl under the spout I pressed......out came a flurry of ice cubes...
And a few of these....
Like little broken fingers.....Out came 3 pieces of a Hebrew National
Wiener....
Through the ice maker!!
Then came 2 more pieces.....
And one more piece....
The Dog just stood there looking very confused....
Now they didn't come out on a bun or with mustard.......Just
Frozen Solid....
I just stood like an idiot in the darkened kitchen and just laughed....
All I could think of was.........Fingers......
We are Italian you know....I wondered when the Boss joined the Mafia....
I'm thinking they fell from the little shelf they were on in the freezer right into the big
ice maker container and the rest is well......
"Something that could only happen to Sue"

Oh Sue!! I went and looked at my ice maker, and there is no way that could happen here. Are you sure your refrigerator isn't haunted? You are right, it can only happen to Sue. How is your snow injury?? Take care of yourself. Sally

I'm trying to envision how I would have reacted to such a thing. I have no idea what I would have done! I love that your dog requires ice cubes in his water. Hilarious!

Now, Sue. You know you don't "join" the mafia. I wouldn't look to The Boss entering the fold. I think they wanted you and the "fingers" were a subtle message! Now there'd be an "It can only happen to Sue." Sue of Rue Mouffetard, first woman drafted by the Mafia.

Well, I hope Bo liked the hot dogs in his ice. Maybe they were the doggie version of fancy ice cubes; you know how some people freeze fruit or flowers in ice cubes. You might have started a new food trend here!

Someone needs to make a comedy for the big screen out of your life Sue:>) Did you figure out how the little hot dogs got into the ice?

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
