Ressurection Day...cute nails...bumbling, stumbling...tropicana, not toplesscanna!...Elvis Event of the Week


Happy Easter! Today is the day the Lord has made! We sure miss our friends from all over the country. We hope to make a visit to Ketchikan this year, and Joanna is heading to Minot girls weekend in August.
The picture was taken at Peoria Sports Complex, Spring training home of Your Seattle Mariners. The happy couple had a great time in Az with Mary Anne. Ms. McBride took Joanna for her first manicure. Apparently, according to Dr. Lisa, Joanna had a bit of a "cuticle problem." At the end of the day, both ladies had lovely nails, and Mary Ann had her little piggies done, too!
At a nice fish house, Joanna Markell took the the most amazing fall. While being lead to our table, J-Mark missed a step and proceeded to fall for over 20 feet, and banged her shin into a table/chair. All we know for sure is she took a dramatic fall in front of all to see. The entire stumble took over five seconds. A trip off the stairs. One second. Staggering about, before hitting table or chair, twenty feet across the room, another four seconds. Time it took for everyone in the restaurant to become concerned, zero seconds. It was amazing. The waiter was apologetic, the restaurant manager checked on her condition, hostesses came over to make sure Joanna was okay, a little old lady offered Joanna a cane (she took it), Steve and Mary Ann apologized for laughing. When we got back to K-Falls (without another fall, thank goodness!) there was a message from the restaurant's corporate headquarters, checking on our little Joanna. She is recovering. She no longer needs a cane.
While in Vegas, we said hi Pete Ecklund's family. Peter Jr. is doing great. But don't call him Petey! He hates that! Anyway, we attended a "Burlesque." Topless dancing, singing, topless dancing, a comedian, more topless dancing, a bit more singing, just when you thought the topless dancing was over, there was more. All topped off (pun not intended) with a non-topless gay Paris Can Can. Truly the the highlight of the show. Tumbling, dancing, and everyone wearing clothes!
Elvis Event of the Week: Little E had a walk with Channel 12 Janet, one of our friends here in K-Falls. He thought she came by to dog nap him. She chased him around the little house for about 15 minutes before he let her put the leash on him. They took a walk around the neighborhood, which Elvis took advantage of to eat cat poop. Say what you will about dog owners not picking up after their dogs, "outside cats" are much worse! No one picks up after their "leavings" (except maybe Elvis).
That is all for now. Take care, and don't fall down. And don't let the Attorney General fire you for political reasons, and then lie about it!

Wow! Sitting here bored and decided to remind myself how your blog site looked all these months without input and ZOWIE! All kinds of input!
Thought you could sneak it by me, didn't you?
I think you should tell your lovely wife not to fall down. It was thoughtful of her to provide entertainment and drama for the entire restaurant but not as kind to take the poor old lady's cane. Big T is fine, although a bit stinky! No T is feeling under the weather (and crappy weather it is!) and Top T is, as always, happy to stay in touch with our K-Falls couple (and E, of course).

Hello -- for the record, I would like to say that I do not have a cuticle problem. My cuticles are lovely.
And, yes, I did take a dramatic fall, but I did not steal a cane from an old lady. I almost landed in a plate-glass window.
