It had been a while Since I had sat in Jake’s place Drinking a cold one And I had the urge to see Texas So I figured I’d drop in him And see if he wanted to travel. Jake wasn’t there When I pulled in around 9 And the barmaid said he wouldn’t be back till middle of next week something about a horse he just had to have. I thanked her Ordered a plate of enchiladas And a cold one And sat there staring Out the dust streaked glass Onto a street of old pickups And adobe She brought the food And laughed, “You don’t remember me.” “Do you?” I looked up at her and smiled, “Katy” Her grin widened As did the pupils of her green eyes. “Where you staying?” she asked. “Your place I guess.” I grinned back at her. “You going to wait for Jake to get back?” “Depends,” I replied,” How’s your cooking these days?” “You always know there something good to eat at my place.” She laughed with a wicked gleam. I never did make Texas, but I learned green eyes And red hair Look mighty fine In the morning. |

Capt. Ron, I'm glad that you're back into your story-telling, too.....  And......I won't EVEN comment on what kind of meal the green-eyed lady cooked up for you. Must've been really good, though, to keep you from going on to Texas!?! "Love makes the world go around" |

Duncan... you know..come to think of it my first wife had red hair and green eyes.. was pretty to look at..but lord... living with her was something else... guess if the story was true..I'd be taking your prayers with gratitude. Sy... nah.... just telling tales.. Sunshine... well.. felt the urge to see some desert..and the only way I could do that and get a plate of Mexican food was write it.. Scorpio... ( laughing) like those red toenails do you? |

Jake and I got back into town a day earlier than expected as the look on Katy’s face reflexively betrayed. She hadn’t known how she was going to get herself out of this one, had only thought she had one more day. Clatter of breakfast rush a second before, silence replaced, or was it only in my mind? I felt the descent seconds before it began to make sense. I hadn’t noticed the truck with out of state plates parked across the street when we pulled up. In a town where nothing changes it’s easy not to notice when the ripples of a slow, easy river shift against the moon. It’s easy not to notice until you see it in her eyes. .......... (Shhh...I'm supposed to be working  ) |

Capt Hair, I enjoyed your piece very much. Here's the other side. Most days are the same around here You can smell the grease from the ham and bacon cooking on the old iron grill that stands in the back behind the counter The boys come in early for a cup of java that will put hair on any man's chest Helps em through the morning till they can down a cold can of ale in the hot afternoon I know them, most by name they kid me all the time Started working here in high school when my mama took ill and daddy couldn't work cause he hurt his back at the mill A familiar story from most around these small pasty towns Times have changed I've had my share of blushing I was young and in my heyday considered a pretty one I was sassy then and the boys, though they dished it, out could take it back Tongue and cheek was the game and I admit I enjoyed it You can imagine my surprise When I brought over his plate Eyes that danced and smiled in the dark They were what I used to call bedroom eyes He was still a hansome son of a gun I recognized that grin right off the bat No, this was not going to just another day at old Jake's I could feel my knees get weak I sure hope I made my bed this morning..

Oh I just enjoyed this so much, isn't there a way you can turn all this into a longer story. I have not had a real "meat and potatoes" kind of story to sink my teeth into for so long that this was like eating one potatoe chip, and now I want the entire bag. You were all great ahd see what your muse brought out in those folks? Fantastic! ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ |

Yes, I agree with Mysteria and everyone else for that matter. I would like to see what the "boys" come up with next? This is one place where kiss and tell is acceptable..  SG |

(smiles) Yep, and don't forget the onion chopping in the kitchen and the tears mixed with paprika and fuerte broths and pistachios in ash trays and gumshoes who don't know what's to you! (sigh) I love this, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
