Another

GRITSday in the PNW!HI, MARG!!!

Marg, how did you come to ride in a fliver?

One of our neighbors has one that he has restored.

HI JFRI!! DRY, I hope that you have a GRITS vacation!

good morning and happy thursday locos

Okay will someone explain what a fliver is, PLEASE? And don’t tell me to google it! ;-P

Buenas dias JFri, Marg and Akenta!

Buenos Dias Locos! Yes JFri we now have summer.

Carmen’s old world wis dumb!

Good morning all! Today was so nice and cool out, that I went for a run. I may have pushed it too hard. Having your money in a coffee can isn’t going to help. Go buy shiny things in case the market collapses.

Dry, since everyone is ignoring you, I’ll tell you what a fliver is. It is a beat up Model-T Ford that has been fixed up to ride.

(I Googled it myself)

Hola *johnnyd and Shika"!

Thanks Shika! I didn’t even have time to read my toons, just my favorites, 5 or 6. Shutting down now, so I’ll see ya’ later, gators!

Hola Johnny. It must have been cool if you could run this morning.I’m glad you guys out west are getting summer finally. We are getting some nice sunny times now that aren’t too hot, nor too cold. They are Juuuusssstt right! :-D

Hi cleo How’s the iPad? Getting the hang of it?

Bye Dry! Have a wonderful trip. Don’t forget us though! (Okay, maybe you want to, ha-ha).

Carmen, if they can put Prince Albert in a can, I guess you can put your money in a can. Of course, a coffee can behind the T.V. would draw my attention.

Going out for the day. Enjoy the sunshine everyone!

OK, listen up, team! We have a major repaint & fix up project and a short time frame (unless she foolishly forgets her PFD)!!

READY, SET…….PAINT!!!!! YEEHAHHHHH! I just LOVE the look of puce & chartreuse striping in a bedroom, don’t you, cleo?

And don’t forget to leave plenty of empty Bookers bottles laying around as our calling card! And I have quadruple verified the correct address and house! NO slip ups THIS time!

Hi JFri and everyone. May I help too if I bring the psychedelic paint?

I’ve got spray paint! It works faster and I can do two colours at once.

Ooh. Psychedelic paint!

Where are the others? I’m not doing this all by myself! Opps!

(Don’t ask.)

If all of us work on this we can probably even get the lawn painted too. I also think that the driveway might look fashionable if lined with spike strips. Serena, there is no need to ask if you can help if you come equipped with psychedelic paint as it might be just the thing for the bedroom ceiling. JFri, it goes without saying that Booker’s bottles will be strewn about.

Well while you’re doing all thatDON’T FORGET TO PAINT THE AWNINGS TOO!

Come along Serena! You’re probably the only sane one here! At least one aspect of the job should be done right!

And while you’re all at it, DON’T FORGET TO WATER MY POTTED PLANTS ON THE PORCH, PLEASE! THANK YOU!

Dry painted plants require no watering, they look the same no matter what!

Hi, Serena! Of course your painting “expertise” is welcome! cleo, don’t forget to paint the laundry she forgot & left on the clothes line out back! Shika, shake a leg! Let’s paint the windows and the car in the driveway!

Yes, painted laundry is even better than starching it. I like the job that I did on the fridge. The color pink gives it a nice retro look, one I am sure Dry’s hubby will find suitable.

cleo, if I didn’t know better I would SWEAR you painted it with Pepto Bismol! Hey, we almost forgot the windows, carpets and hardwood floors!

I painted the bath tub green as it already had a green tinge from an inattentive cleaning schedule.

I must admit I LOVE the job Serena did painting the sink and toilet in psychedelic tie-dye!

If we paint the window glass blue it will always seem sunny! Dry would appreciate that.

I painted every lightbulb yellow so she will never have to turn her lights on again.

cleo, how about a nice cheery GRAY with SNOWFLAKES?

Nice touch, cleo! Uh, you DID use florescent yellow, right?

♫♪It’s beginning to look a lot like Bookers……♫♪

♫♪ All by myself…….♫♪

Booker’s means that you are never alone JFri and we have put in a long day. We deserve aces and well proportioned cocktails.

And cocktails for us are easy, none of those fufu drinks. Just Booker’s and lots of it.

I hope no one minds, but I took the initiative to paint a lovely sign at the street entrance to Dry’s house that says “Welcome To The Cat House!”

Once we finish with the house we might as well paint the town red.

Dry we removed any awning, what is the point of summer if you block the sun?

GOOD GAWDDo I want to come home? By the way, by the sounds of it

YOU FORGOT THE AWNINGS!

I tried to fix that at least 3 times but the wifi ke[t going out Can’t tell for sure, but I think there is a thunder storm heading our way. This way.

Dry, be,ieve you me we have not forgotten your awnings. I sold them to a merchant in Bagdad.

Darn! While I’m off working on my sermon, you guys finished all the painting! No fun left for me.

CLEO A merchant in Bagdad! What’s wrong with you? Aluminum is worth a fortune here!

What are these awnings lying here for? I think I’ll paint them black with lighening on them. Dry loves a good storm!

What? How did they get back here if cleo sold them? Are you sure you sold Dry’s awnings cleo?

A fine thing! JFri and cleo have taken all the Bookers and left me nothing.

They must be passed out somewhere.

Well, I’m not hanging around waiting for them. I’m outta here.

Good Night Gracie, Friar Tuck, Mr. Peck and my fans!
