$150 Turkey!
This Thanksgiving was a real bad Turkey. After spending and eating turkey at my brother Glen's house, we went back to Darrin& Mandy's, however I had to stop at Smith's for a few things and was later getting there. When I did there was NO WHERE on the street to park! However here was a house with a for sale sign on it. but you know sometimes, people still live there even if there is a sign. Further up the road a few houses was a house with a for rent sign, and after seeing no lights on, or cars in the drive way, I decided to park in the driveway. I asked Mandy if anyone was living there and the answer was a no. Well about 1 1/2 hours later , Mike went to the car to get his pills, only he couldn't find the car. You know how men are, you have to show them. Well when I went to show him, I couldn't find it either. Darrin and Mandy joined in the search. We found lights on in the basement at the house, but no one home, and the for rent sign was down. Black skid marks were in the driveway where the car used to be. Had I forgotten to lock the doors? Nope! Had somebody stolen it? Well we went back and called the police to report a stolen car. Also called the owner of the house for rent and left a message. We found it had been towed! Of course it was closed for the night and we could pick it up in the morning for cash to the Turkey tune of $150. Happy Thanksgiving! One to remember! Ruth thought for sure divorce papers were in the making. Then on our way to pick up the Trailblazer, we were rear-ended by a woman excited about her Black Friday shopping and talking on her cell phone! Brady and Mike jumped out to check things out, but, fortunately the bumpers matched and no damage done. Was this really our black Friday? With two counts against us, a it could have been worse!

Ha, ha... I mean... Ha happy Thanksgiving! That's one of those things that are funnier later. I guess it really was Cindy's car and not Cindy that attracted accidents. Good luck to Brady then...
Boy it's a good thing you were driving the Cavalier to pick up the trailblazer. I don't think any more damage can be done to those bumpers than what has been done! Glad your car wasn't stolen though. Listen to Betsy, she's right about the curse being on the car and not me!
I love the comment about helping men find something...too bad that ruined the fun we were all having with sequence! Guess what, someone still DOES NOT live there...I've been watching (maniacal laughter)
