Stop and Smell the Shorts

Its been a great first week here, we have been busy re-acclimating to the area and the climate.  Its hard to remember everything and since the car we have is small and was filled to the brim, Gary decided he didn't need to bring many clothes from MN.  He thought he had plenty once we got here.  Of course, he was wrong and as you can see, his best pair of shorts would give a homeless guy nightmares.  Luckily we are not invited to many places where he needs to dress up and if he wears these shorts in public, we definitely won't be invited anywhere. But just in case we actually have to go out in public, Gary asked me to get him some shorts.  Now being cheap and loving thrift shops, I was on it.  The problem is that Gary is the same size as almost everyone else that shops at thrift shops.  I was able to get him 5 pairs of shorts after much searching but in order to make this easier on me next time, I asked him to either lose weight at get to a size 30 or gain some and get to a 40.  He seems to be eating more now.


Gary has already had 3 new trees planted in the back yard.  Our next door neighbor thinks Gary is nuts to be adding trees. He should see our place in MN! Apparently Sal doesn't like trees. Who hates trees?  His name is Sal but we call him Salamander for a variety of reasons.  So just to piss him off, Gary is having 3 more trees put in the back yard today.  I think he might even wear some new shorts too.

One more thing, my friend Jill is going to add a doodad to this blog so you can get automatic updates.  I tried doing it myself but after hours of stomping around the house, slamming the computer around and swearing in complete sentences, it just wouldn't work so Jill will take care of it for me.  Now why didn't I think of that first?   Keeping it real....Margaret
