Meet The Neighbors

Here I am, inside because it is hotter than hell outside, like about 100 degrees, and the humidity has to be over 200%. You walk outside, and you don't have to do anything, and your sweating pools of salty water.

So, I am looking out the window as I am washing dishes in the sink, yes washing dishes by hand...The new house does have a dishwasher, but in the month we have been here I haven't used it once. My husband asked me why not, and I told him I didn't want to get it dirty! He said, G'night Gracie...whatever!

Back to me at the window, I was just looking...not snooping, I swear, and I see my 85 year old neighbors across the street out in the sweltering heat in the middle of the afternoon (2:30 to be exact). HE was mowing with his lawn tractor and SHE was pushing a hand mower around the trees. For crying out loud, they are OLD! She was out there in her house coat, yeah like my old granny used to wear, and he was dressed as if it were winter! I couldn't believe my eyes...the first thing I thought of is... gee, I hope my hubby doesn't come home and see that, he'll make me go out there and push the mower! Then the second thing I thought of is... I can't even walk out to get the newspaper, it's so friggin hot! What the hell...they're gonna kill themselves, possibly a double suicide!

I hope they didn't see me, (like I'm invisible) but I ran and got my camera because this is a real Kodak moment. Now I don't have a fancy dancy camera as of yet, I am still working on that with Mr. Wonderful, but I took the photo without a zoom lens, and hope that you can see the little white dot that is Mrs. Whatthefuckareyounutz, and a little green dot is Mr. Whathefuckareyoudoinginthatheat.

I need a cold beer just thinking about them!

Now I wonder if I should have been neighborly and offered them a frosty stein of Milk of Magnesia.

Hey Mom...Wanna move in with us? I got a job for you!
