[litl rooster]

  Excuse me....Is there any Pepperjack in dem saddlebags?? It would be might tasty on these friollies and tortias tonight

[Delmonico]

Sorry he done went to Wissyconsion, not Callyfornia.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother recalls the time she went away for a three week holiday to the tropics where only two days had passed in Newbrassky and regains her composure. She calls after Delmonico:

"Is it ok to give the chicken guts to the dogs? Do I have to cook the guts first?"

The dogs stampede into the house and sit outside Delmonico's door, waiting for his answer. 

[Stoney Pete]

Time warp eh?

Come on in Slim and let's "cut the cheese."

poop!

The FFG said poop.

Del, how could you have missed that?

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Litl Rooster, as much as I hate to admit it, Del is right. Wisconsin creameries don't make phoo-phoo cheese in the early 1880's." 

[Silver Creek Slim]

Time warp eh?

Come on in Slim and let's "cut the cheese."

poop!

The FFG said poop.

Del, how could you have missed that?

"Okay, Stoney. Let's go cut the cheese." Slim takes the cheese into the kitchen. "What cheese do ya want to try first?"

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

As the Frumpy Fairy Godmother's cheeks flash to a brilliant shade of pink, she says to Slim, "thank you," but her tone is "please get him away from me before he embarasses me further!"

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Yer welcome, ma'am."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico opens his door to pass judgement,   "I'd cook them first, I just ain't sure.   Perhaps we should feed some to Slim first and see if they make him sick.  litl roooster (there is a t ) is most likely gonna shoot him fer callin' his favorite cheesse foo foo.   But for the life of me I don't know why folks put stuff other than cheese in cheese.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

On hearing Delmonico's proclamation, the dogs thunder back outside to where the Frumpy Fairy Godmother is filling a kettle with fresh water to boil. She smiles at Duke, Daisy, and Claire. "You kids are gonna have some good eating, and no, I am not going to test it on Slim, first!"

They smile back and wag the tips of their tails in anticipation.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"I ain't eatin' no entrails." 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico thinks Slim does eat entails, even if he don't admit it.   I eat them all the time.

[Trinity]

Trinity staggers back to the ranch.  He is worn out and most of his clothes are missing.   ....but, on a positive note... his hair has begun to return!

He climbes the steps to the porch and falls into the hammock and falls asleep.





((Dernit!  I was ready to haunt the ranch for a few days and had formulated an exit from the casket but SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless) wrote fer Trinity and brought him back to life   ...Oh well, I's back!  I missed you folks!))

[litl rooster]

Delmonico and Slim you could at least hand me a chunk of Sharp Cheddar.... My 1 and only Jalpeno is in flower but I have used all the peppers it has produced so far.  I should have listened  and planted 2.

2ndly I must remember to cancel the order of the Tombstone I ordered for Trinty. Welcome back....SWtill curious about your hair growing back.... ::)ah never mind. And we don't need details on the clothes

[Trinity]

Trinity Sleepily opens one eye.  Seeing litl rooster standing there he gets up.

"Thanks pard.  Ah almost bought the farm that time!  If'n it weren't fer them ladies, Ah prolly would be daid 'n' burried roght now!  On the other hand... they shore can wear a man down!"   

Just then Trinity sees the makings for FFG's green house which he decides to build for her.  Unfortunately he has no skill at building and the end product would only have a home in front of some big future metropolitan art museum.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother finishes cleaning the guts out of the chickens. She stores the meat and feeds the slobbering dogs. She heads upstairs to take a bath and while there she smiles, hearing Trinity arrive. Spiffy and clean, she glides back downstairs, ready to greet Trinity and eager to start work on the greenhouse.

When she goes outside she stands there....

And stares.

She stands there a while. A small tear rolls out of the corner of her eye.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Rooster, there's Cheddar in the icebox. Hep yerself."
"Welcome back, Trinity. Good ta see yer on the mend."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico is out back building a fire of good hardwoods.  He drags out some fresh baked rolls, and puts them on a table in the yard.  He also brings chopped onions, pickle relish, cheese, mustard, some of that new fangled Heinz Tomato Catsup. <Authors note, not all ketchup/catsup is tomato>

He also brings out a pot of chili, and a package wrapped in butcher paper.  Inside are some of those weiner sausage that are becoming so popular at County and State Fairs.   

"I brought these back from my last trip, If had them in the ice house.  They are all beef and pork, no strange stuff like they will add to most of them in the future.   We'll cook tyhem on a stick and have something different.  All except Slim, since the only kind made right now use a natural casing, Slim don't get none cause he said he don't eat entrails.   He should have said he don't eat chicken entrails."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother nods, causing one of her tears to go rolling down her cheek. She still stands there, looking at the art exhibit. Her lips move a little:
"My greenhouse...."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Yes, Del, I should've been more specific. I don't eat entrails that ain't washed first, which includes chitlins."
