to open the gate and let me out! Why? Because I locked myself in our backyard. Freakin' locked myself in our backyard. I figured since I had been absent from the blog for a while - now would be the perfect time to reappear...and tell a story (and not have to start cleaning just yet).
Alan and Ruger are in Ideal, GA having an ideal time. Maggie and I are in Macon, Ga having a not so ideal time. (Really we are fine - I just like to be dramatic). Our day has been filled with lighting candles, doing some laundry and thinking about cleaning the floors. About 2:45pm, the mail man came. Should we start cleaning? NO - let's go get the mail! Perfect distraction! Outside we go. We get the mail then we decide we will venture into the backyard and try out the new gate Alan put up. We walked into the backyard and then we heard a click. What was that? The gate shut behind us? NOOOOOO! Insert photo of gate.
Beautiful isn't it? Just be careful when opening it and venturing to the other side. You can get trapped! Do you want to know how we got out? Okay, I will tell you. I called Alan and told him what happened. First, he laughed. Not nice. Second, he said something about climbing up the fence and yada yada yada. Once I heard climb, I knew his suggestion was out the window. I called the neighbor - no answer. Alan called one of his friends that lives really close - he was out of town. I called my next closest friend - no answer (Thanks Tiffany for not answering!! JK.) I called my next next closest friend - no answer. What was I (or rather we) going to do? Luckily, the next next closest friend called me back! Insert David and Melissa Dark. Heroes of the day.
They (along with Lady and Jack) came to our rescue! I am so thankful they could help us today. We really appreciate it! While we were waiting, I was very thankful to have the mail I picked up with me. Thank you Martha Stewart magazine for coming today! I am also glad that I had Maggie with me. It would have been so lonely being trapped by myself.
How has your Saturday been? Any funny stories? Do tell, do tell. HAPPY SATURDAY!
LOVE it! A Saturday adventure!
ReplyDeleteAshley: You are a real novelist. Have you ever considered becoming a journalist, or maybe I should say fiction writer????
ReplyDeleteYou mean non-fiction! These are true stories! :)
ReplyDeleteFYI Grandaddy - Melissa (who came to my rescue today) is from Fitzgerald. I always knew there was something special about those folks from Fitzgerald.
ReplyDeleteYou made our Saturday so much more interesting! Glad we could come to the rescue!
ReplyDeleteThanks for calling me out! I was in Kite... with no service. So sorry I couldn't come to your rescue! Glad to hear y'all made it out alright :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the weather was conducive to being locked out!
