Crazy Ladies
My sister, from Michigan, was in North Dakota to visit our Mom and Step-dad.
Mom got very sick with Bronchitis and Paul took my sister to Bismarck to catch a flight back home the following day.
This craziness all started when Mom gave my sister some money for the two of us to go out to supper. "Mom doesn’t give us $ too often" we thought as we looked over the expensive stuff on the menu. After filling ourselves to capacity, and tipping the cheerful college kid waitress we found we had $30 left. And just like when we got money from Mom as kids. It started to burn a hole in our pockets.
We proceeded to the local C-store and bought N.D. trinkets for her grand babies. As she approached the cashier she said —no let’s buy something just for ourselves to remember this uh..uh memorable trip. So off we went to Wally World. Scanning the shelves for the perfect gift x 2. And there it was, Toby Keith’s new cd, Broken Bridges. Tall, blonde, handsome...the dreams of every 50 something country girl.
After paying for our perfect "memory maker" we stood there with 29cents x 2. Now even that change was burning a hole in our pockets. Would a charity want our change- some blind children’s camp?-some crippled children’s home? -No, it was the "Golden Arches"and the Ronald McDonald House that summoned our change. As we approached the 10 car long line at the drive up window of the "Golden Arches", my cell phone rang. It was Chad, my high school principal son, with giggles under his breath and his very pregnant wife biting her lip he said "you are 2 crazy ladies." So, as we moved up in line I added a buck to the 20cents x 2 and gave it with a big smile to the adorable, perky, college girl at the window.
My cell phone rang again–Chad, I might have guessed. He said "take a picture, put it on your blog." You know when you leave there they are going to say "now there were 2 crazy ladies."
Like when we were kids, I’m saying "it’s all Mom’s fault, giving Becky money like that." "What was she thinking?"
Come visit again sis, and please try and keep me out of trouble, would ya.

Sounds like you two ladies had alot of fun. i tend to do the same sort of thing when money is sitting in my pockets. i have this urge to SHOP!
You forgot the two most important questions I asked. Where and the heck are you? Jamestown, Fargo, Bismarck, Jersey? AND (just like Mas always says) HAVE YOU TWO BEEN DRINKING????
Oh yeah, now I remember -We were in Bismarck, and no, we weren't drinking! What makes you ask that? By the way who's the parent here?
If you two girls managed to find trouble at Wal-Mart and McDonald's perhaps it's best that you're seperated!
You know I remember the question "who is the parent here." That is a good question. :))
So Deb, did you sign up for the Toby Keith giveaway. Remember, when you win...I get to go with you. We could be in a video together...with Toby! Don't let the fun end....
I sure got my monies worth!!
Sounds like days of yore!!
