Beau Wann, Jr.
Thank you all so much for the boithday wishes....actually had a boithday lunch at my sons girlfriends restaurant, "TEXAS BORDERS", at westgreen and I-10...food was phenomenal, and the best part, someone else paid for it for a change...I could get use to hoppy boithdays and free lunches! ! !
I got lots of boithday cards in the mail, and plan to send out thank you's...just as soon as I find where I put them...so if you sent one, thank you....you know whom you are...and someday soon, I will too...
This has been a celebratin week, my younges sons boithday was wednesday the 15th, Dianes and my 32 anniversary was thursday, and of course my boithday today...June 17th....My grandmother was born on June 17th on fathersday, and me too also too...what a lousy fathers day present for my dad, a screamin idjit..
.I was the proverbial blue baby...I had double pneumonia, and almost died, so they tell me...the details are just a tad sketchy....I had stopped breathing in the nursery with the looking glass. My grandfather, Homer Stacy Jones, a doctor, came walking in and noticed I was turning blue, and shucks, I'm pretty smart, I know that's not the usual color for a baby....
Hmmmm well, why not? Goils are pink, and boys are suppose to be blue...! ! ! Methinks, I was carrying it a little too far, but then again it was me, and I've been known to do strange things...anyway, my grandfather told the nursery people that "this is my grandson, and there is a problem, so get the lead out", or woids to that affect, so, I was saved and the rest as they say, is history....
Heyyyyyyyy, my beloved just brought in all my boithday cards....where were they and why do they have ice on them, is it snowing out? You found them in the freezer? Nah, come on, who would put them in the freezer? Ok, I did it, but sure dont remember when or why.....oh, yes I do now, I had just gotten back from the HEB and carried in stuff that went into the freezer, so I must have had the mail in my hands and set them down with the ice cream....hot mail ah reckon....so I cooled it off....or space aliens raptured em up in the upper fridgidareiansphere, you know somewhere higher than here ! ! !
Well, alls well that ends well, another mystery solved by sargent Joe Friday..."cleanin lady clara cooper copped the copper clappers kept in the closet"....
Ok, gotta thaw out my boithday cards, so happy trails to you, until we meet again....
Your frien and brother-in-classmate...allen badillion trahern aka Cephus...
Post script: I saw an article in the Brenham Banner (our little newspaper up here in the high country) about the liberty kitchen...maybe they will take the liberty of putting one up here. Goodness knows we could use a good restaurant in this neck o the woods....we have a few pretty good ones, and then a whole slew of really bad ones....
