Drinks on the Drive
Big Guy and I decided to reach out to our neighbors this summer, rather than staying cocooned among our church friends. So I made a little flyer announcing Friday night happy hour on our driveway - non-threating, easy, right? Two of my neighbors were walking by the other day and I ran out to give them a flyer.
“What’s this? ‘Drinks on the Drive’? Oooh, a redneck party!”
“Neighborhood get-together? We get together all the time.”
“Yeah, but since you’re hosting, we’ll wear our good sandals. Instead of…going barefoot.”
Whew. Tough crowd.

If your husband sprays you with the hose, and in return you “accidentally” spray him in the naughty bits with a jar of Miracle-Gro, nothing happens. So don’t go thinking you’ll have a “Jack and the Beanstalk” situation on your hands.
FYI.

LOL!! That is SO funny! I’ll remember to not rely on Miracle Gro for that sort of thing.
Wow, your neighbors are a tough crowd. Nice of them to wear their good sandals. And speaking of rednecks, don’t they know that flip flops are what are ‘in’ now days?!?

Josie, I guess I’ll have to wear my good sandals, too. Or my cool new Chuck Taylors. GUESS WHAT I GOT for my birthday? :)))))

I’ll bet you’d exponentially increase your cocktail party attendance if you promised a Miracle Gro dousing for each male guest. No pun intended. Really.

Kalynne, I’ll have to try that next time! Maybe I’ll make a Miracle-Gro punch.
