Just when you think you have met them all

Monday this "gentleman" came in the pro shop.....think Grizzly Adams meets Father Time. He was definitely not the stereo-typical golfer. The beard would have made Grizzly envious & he was way older that Father Time!

He got himself a cup of coffee & brought it to the counter.

Him:  "How much?"

Me:  "That will be $1.25 sir"

I couldn't help but notice he was wearing a golf glove on his left hand & a latex rubber glove on his right.  Of course me, being me. thought so you think maybe $1.25 is too much?

After some mumbling & muttering he reached in his pocket & whipped out a visa card saying:

"I'll just so what everyone does & pay for it at the end of the month"

Well alrighty then!

  1. You should have put on the matching latex glove just to touch his visa card!
    You attract a certain type don't you?

  2. why do you sell coffee so cheap. And don't you have a minimum limit on a card?

    1. The coffee is there for the convenience of the golfers for when the restaurant is closed. In today's world people don't carry cash even a dollar for a bottle of water!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!
