ID BE ASHAMED TO SHOW YOUSE ANY PICTURES OF WHAT IM GOING TO TELL YOUSE ABOUT, BUT PICTURE A KITCHEN SINK THAT ARE MADE TOGETHER BUT DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS. WELL, BE ADVISED THAT ONE SECTION ARE FULL OF USED DISHES AND THE OTHER SIDE ARE HALF-FULL OF USED DISHES. WHEN I SAY DISHES, IM TALKING ABOUT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOUSE USE IN A KITCHEN. OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK THE PLACE ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. SHES BEEN GONE ON A LITTLE GETAWAY SINCE FRIDAY MORNING, AND LORD WILLING, SHELL BE BACK TOMORROW EVENING. OUR SON-UNIT WERE SUPPOSED TO SWING BY AND EAT SOME STUFF (OUT OF THE FRIDGE) WITH ME, BUT HE HASNT BEEN ABLE TO CUT LOOSE FROM HIS WORK SO I HAVENT HAD THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY---OTHERWISE, BOTH SECTIONS OF THE KITCHEN SINK WOULD BE FULL BY NOW. REMINDS ME A LITTLE OF BACK AROUND 1979, WHEN WE LIVED ON BULLSKIN. SHE TOOK THE YOUNGUNS AND WENT TO PENNSYLVANIA TO HELP CARE FOR HER DAD FOR A WEEK OR SO AFTER HED HAD SOME SURGERY. DURING THAT TIME, MY NAVY BUDDY, OLD WELLS, (SOME OF YOUSE HAD MET HIM)(GODFATHER TO BOTH OF OUR YOUNGUNS)(ALSO RETIRED NAVY)(HAD FOLLOWED US FROM HIS HOME TOWN OF JACKSONVILLE, GEORGIA TO BULLSKIN)(DROPPED DEAD ON BULLSKIN JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS OF 1989) WHO LIVED JUST UP THE ROAD FROM US (HE RENTED A LITTLE HOUSE BEHIND TROY AND LIZ COUCHS STORE), OLD WELLS SORT OF, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, MOVED IN WITH ME---ESPECIALLY AS REGARDS OUR CHOW SITUATION. DURING THAT WEEK, WE MOSTLY ATE HERE AND THERE AROUND ONEIDA AND MANCHESTER, BUT WE BOUGHT A WHOLE SLAB OF THICK-SLICED BACON AND A BUNCH OF EGGS AND WHEN WE GOT HUNGRY AND DIDNT FEEL LIKE GETTING OUT, WED FIX SOME BACON AND EGGS AND TOAST AT THE HOUSE: AND THATS ALL ABOUT WE TRIED TO FIX AS REGARDS COOKING, ETC---NOT COUNTING PEANUT-BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES AND VIENNA SAUSAGE (WHICH WE BOUGHT IN CANS) AND CRACKERS . WHOEVER WERE HUNGRIEST WOULD START THE COOKING OFF IF THERE WERE ANY COOKING TO BE DONE. AND WHATEVER WE ATE, WE DIDNT EAT IT AT THE TABLE WHICH DIDNT LAST LONG BEFORE IT WERE LOADED DOWN WITH DIRTY DISHES BECAUSE THE SINK AND KITCHEN COUNTERS WERE FULL OF DIRTY DISHES: WE ATE IN FRONT OF THE TV. AND AS THINGS WORKED OUT, WE GOT THE WORD THEYD BE HOME THE NEXT DAY, SO THAT NIGHT, WELLS AND I ROLLED UP OUR SLEEVES AND WE FOUND WHERE SHE KEPT THE DISHWASHING SOAP AND THE DISHRAGS AND DISHTOWELS, ETC, AND WE TURNED-TO ON THAT KITCHEN. IT TOOKS US SEVERAL HOURS, BUT WE BOTH AGREED WE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF IT. BUT ILL TELL YOUSE THIS FOR A FACT: ITS A GOOD THING SHE CAME BACK WHEN SHE DID, BECAUSE THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN WE GOT THE WORD SHED BE HOME THE NEXT DAY, WE HAD USED PRETTY UP MUCH EVERY SKILLET, PLATE, CUP, SAUCER AND BOWL IN THE HOUSE. IN FACT, THAT LAST NIGHT OF BACH-ING, WE WERE REDUCED TO EATING CORN FLAKES AND OTHER COLD CEREALS WITH MILK POURED ON---I HAD MINE IN A MEDIUM-SIZED COOKER AND WELLS WERE EATING HIS OUT OF A COOKER TWICE THE SIZE OF MINE, BECAUSE THERE JUST WERENT NOTHING ELSE AVAILABLE THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD HOLD MILK. IT WERE DURING THAT TIME THAT OLD WELLS PAUSED OVER HIS CORNFLAKES AND TOLD ME VERY SERIOUSLY THAT BUMS LIKE US DIDNT DESERVE TO LIVE AROUND REGULAR CIVILIZED PEOPLE---AND I WERE INCLINED TO AGREE WITH HIM. AND TOMORROW, ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE THE TIME SHES SUPPOSED TO GET HOME, I HAVE MADE SOME PLANS TO TURN-TO ON HER KITCHEN---WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON CLEANING UP EVERY THING IVE USED WHILE SHES BEEN GONE....
