There was at least one sold to Englishmen in the 1880's, least that's what the title said.

The #22 wagon has yaller brick from the Yankee Hill Brick Company of Yankee Hill Newbrasskey.

Got a mason also drivin' that wagon. Go back up to Long Pine Creek Slim and get the FFg some logs fer the fire place.

"With all that coal you got for Christmas, is the house just to store the coal?"

Delmonico · January 13, 2005, 02:53:12 PM

We'll store the coal in the dugout, won't need that no more.

Gonna have a summer kitchen so I won't have to heat up the house in the summer.

You two just get out of the way and let these guys get it put up. They're on a skeedual, they got to have it up by this time next week, that's when the furnature and carpets are comin' in, so Slim, please wipe yer feet.

If Slim has to wipe his feet, I promise to make sure any unknown slim trails stop at the doorstep.

Does that mean the FFG has to sweep up her sawdust?

Joyce (AnnieLee) · January 13, 2005, 04:59:31 PM

"Posh, my sawdust is lightly scented so it adds to the ambience of a room. It also collects moisture, so is helping to keep the floor clean. Besides, I'm not sure I will be living here, would it be proper? Though it would be nice to have a sunny guest room reserved for me, with beds with flannel sheets."

(Glad to know you are ok, Russ T., I was a tad concerned.)

The FFg can have a room in the cupola, oh, did I mention our ranch house is gonna have a cupola.

Ok, when they get done with a couple of the wagons, hire the teamsters to go cut some wood.

We won't have to worry about Jimmi Hoffa tellin' us teamsters can't also cut wood fer quite a few years.

Trinity · January 13, 2005, 09:02:30 PM

Trinity staggers up to the group. Taking Gophergrease's advise, he did not have the rum straight up, but settled down for some cider. After the first mug he decided that he liked it but was not sure that it was very manly, so he took the rum and the cider pot to the hill and hid behind the tree. After the cider ran out, there was only rum left. Now there was nothing.

"Shaaaay. Thatsh shome fanshy houshe! Ah wonder whosh gonna live in thish plantation." Trinity remembers his childhood back east. Peering inside, Trinity cries out: "Carpetsh!!?? Nesht shing you know, Delmoniker is gonna want ush to wipe our feet!"

Trinity begins to wonder: "There weren't no houshe there when Ah wen' up the hill. I shore hope I ain't losht agin!" With that, Trinity colapses.

"A cupola?" The Frumpy Fairy Godmother grins. "If there is a nice porch to go with it, I may let appearances go and move in!"

With a flip of her wand, a rocking chair appears and she takes up her knitting by the window of the dugout to watch the progress of the construction.

"Dern it, Trinity got into the rum and passed out. Somebody better get him before he freezes."

Duke runs out of the dugout, grabs Trinity by the collar, and slowly drags him inside.

"And how can you have a pre-fab fireplace?"

Side note: Heck, that was reply #999 to this thread, which made it the one thousandth post! I get a cookie!!

Delmonico · January 14, 2005, 12:04:55 AM

My counter says my post on the diamond mine was 1000 and I already had a cookie.

Yes we will have one of those porchs that wraps all around the house and those cute little porchs outside the 2nd and 3rd floor.

Oh I also ordered a weathervane with a steer on it fer the cupola, that way when Trinity comes home drunk he can pretent he's John Wayne and try ta throw his hat up on it. That will wake you up and you can turn him inta a Box Turtle.

Oh has anyone seen my castor oil, I got a new bottle in North Platte, the Druggest didn't have a castor oil bottle so he put it in an old rum bottle.

Joyce (AnnieLee) · January 14, 2005, 05:23:35 AM

(You were "reply" number 1000, which made it post 1001! But I'll share my cookie.

)

At the words "castor oil," Duke's eyes become huge and he drags Trinity back outside.

Scattered Thumbs · January 14, 2005, 06:01:32 AM

Trinity may already have drunk the castor oil thinkin' it was rum

. well if the yeller dod drags him outside maybe he won't make a mess inside the dugout

I'z don't know whut we'z talking about.

But I never let that stop me before.

Stoney Pete · January 14, 2005, 07:54:48 AM

One fine day, in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.

Stoney Pete · January 14, 2005, 07:55:28 AM

Back to back, they faced each other.
One drew his sword and shot the other.

Stoney Pete · January 14, 2005, 07:56:13 AM

A deaf policeman heard the noise,
and came a killed those two dead boys.

Stoney Pete · January 14, 2005, 07:57:18 AM

If you don't believe my lie is true,
Go ask the blind man. He saw it too.

Stoney (what's done interupting...for now.) Pete

And now...BACK TO THE STORY.

Slim sends two wagons and muleskinners to get firewood for the FFG's fireplace.
