It is trippy Tuesday and another sweaty hot, 100 and something degree Summer day here in Texas. Yesterday one of those long lizards that resemble a snake scuttled under the door of the store I work in, as a male customer entered. He was nice enough to let me know and point it out. It was wriggling snake like along the wall and I reacted like I have since I was a little girl. I screamed and tried to jump up on the counter. ( picture it- I am 50 something) Thank God he was a nice country man and offered to help me sweep Mr. snakey lizard back outdoors. He took the broom from me with a chuckle since every time I got close and the lizard went to running I went to screaming and jumping around. I thanked him for making my work environment once again safe and scream free. We both got a laugh. I have given up even trying not to act terrified by lizards and snakes. My screams and avoidance reactions just seem to be involuntary. But I think it is kinda fun to know the opposite sex no matter what age never tire of getting a kick out of it. Like Mom always said, " Steffie, boys and girls are very different".
Hope you have a terrific, trippy Tuesday! kisses
Memories of the 1960's. Drinking from the garden hose, Playing outside till it was time for supper or it got dark-whichever came first. Box fans, heat rash, Church on Sunday and one family black & white television with 3 channels. Time passes and times sure have changed. Welcome to my world. Stories about growing up in Texas. New adventures and the struggle to remain relevant in the lives of my adult children.
