The Frumpy Fairy Godmother nurses Slim's feet, then makes everyone grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon for dinner since Delmonico is back in his pink room.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico goes out to the buggy and brings in several rolls of wall paper and a bag of flour.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Thank ya kindly fer fixing my feet, ma'am. Del gets a bit ornery at times." 

(Author's note: I was at Dick Dastardly learnin' how to cast boolits when Del did this to Slim.)

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Author's Note: Slim, would you please start a thread about your experience with DD yesterday? I've heard great things about him.    AL))

[Delmonico]

Delmonico is up paperin' his office with a neutral colored striped wallpaper.      When he is done he lays out his wood duck skin to dry.

(Author's note: It's in the Darkside forum. It's titled "Boolits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother peeks into the pink room. There it is, with neutral striped wall paper just like it was before, with the pink curtains and pink linens, and pink bedspread, most of it in chintz. The four post bed even has a pink canopy.

She chuckles, shakes her head, and wanders back to the kitchen.

"That man is so strange."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico finishes the wallpaper and then goes out to the buggy and gets neutral colored everything else and installs it.   He piles the pink junk up in a pile, tryin' to figger out what to do with it.      He goes to the empty room that pete has moved into and piles it up.   

He leaves a note: "If you can use this you can have it."

Delmonico then hitches up the buggy and leaves a note: "I'm going to the forks of the Dismal, be back later!"

Duke jumps in the buggy and they head west olong the Dismal.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico and Duke reach the forks of the Dismal and Duke goes for a swim.      They find a shady spot under the shade of a tree along thesouth side of the north fork of the river.   Delmonico finds some dry twigs and builds a fire and brews a pot of coffee and grills a couple of steaks. 

Duke and him then kick back and watch to the north as if they are waitin' for something.

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney enters his room.  "Never even knew I'd been assigned a room here.  Guess I'd been sleepin' in the barn for nothin'", he thinks.

Having been raised with 3 sisters, Stoney is no stranger to pink things or frillies.  Since the FFG was so excited for Del's brides arrival, all the stuff was top of the line. 

"Pinks sleeps just as well as any other color.", Stoney says to himself.  He makes his bed and sacks out.

I'll have to remember to thank Del for being so thoughtful.

[Delmonico]

In the late afternoon Delmonico and Duke watch to tank wagons approach the forks of the Dismal.  

When they arrive both are emptied into the river.   Delmonico and the men with the tank wagons catch a lot of isects and sit down to look at them before departin' their seperate ways.

It been a very active day down here at litl rooster's cow camp on the Dismal, early this morning 2 tank wagons headedup stream.. Then a little bit later  a beautiful woman (played by Melanie Griffith) rode by riding a mule, bawling her eyes out. I stopped her and inquired if she was all right. She then told me how she was a mail order bride, but after arriving, delivery was declined and she was told to take mule back to Livery. That the husband to be did want either of them.  Being the gentleman that I am, I offered her  a fresh cup of coffee, and some left over trout that I had caught this morning. Then offered to escort her back to Dunning.. It is dangerous country for a young beautiful woman to travel alone.

  As I was storing my trappin's away, for the journey into town, a caravan of sorts was again heading up the Dismal. In a 2 wheel cart pulled by a nice English bred horse, with A man in a fancy uniform and a Amish beard,(played by C. Evertt Coop) and a mud coach with several other uniformed men and women followed and a supply wagon behind it. I believe it is the Surgeon General Dr. Mc Coy  and his Army.  A short distance maybe  a 1/4 mile a peddler wagon follows them driven by Wilford Brimley, his wagon is loaded with rolled oats.  Finally the pards at the Pink Ranch will get checked over and I won't need to worry about their collesteral.

  I load my saddle bags a box of shotshells and a box of .45's 2 cans of peaches and some fresh made venison jerky for the journey to Dunning. I mount ole' Dos and the Young bride to be and I ride off.  The old mule she is riding is sound but a slow mover, I check my reins and pull Dos up into walk.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico whips the mules pullin' the buggy and him and Duke high tail back to the ranch.  As it was gettin' dark he seen some really strange folks.   As he tops the last hill he can see the lights in the window of the ranch house. 

The folks here are also strange, but he knows he's atleast half way safe and the won't make him eat oatmeal, Delmonico don't like not hot cereal but grits and them not to well.   Delmonico won't eat no oatmeal not even if ya threaten to shoot him 34 times with an Evans (old model, the new model only shots 28. )

[Trinity]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother nurses Slim's feet, then makes everyone grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon for dinner since Delmonico is back in his pink room.

Not too long later Trinity tears into the room, again ripping the recently repaired door from it's hinges.  "Ah smailt bacon!!"

In conversation with the FFG, Slim and Stoney, Trinity learns all about Del's frantic rush to change the room back to its plain-jane former self.  "Ah thank we orta change his room back agin!" <giggle> 

[litl rooster]

Little does Trinty know that it is bacon flavored Oatmeal.

[Delmonico]

<Author's note: For bacon flavored oatmeal you must introduce a Scotsman to the story.>

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(( I think Leonard McCoy is a Scotsman. ))

[litl rooster]

(( I think Leonard McCoy is a Scotsman. ))

Actually think his family came from Wales but close enough, Where did that Angus fella run off too?

[Trinity]

(( I think Leonard McCoy is a Scotsman. ))

((I think you got him mixed up with Mr. Scot)) 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(( I think Leonard McCoy is a Scotsman. ))

((I think you got him mixed up with Mr. Scot)) 

(Actually, I thought about that. There was Kirk, a decidely British name, then Scotty, who was unmistakably Scottish, then Bones... who has a Scottish name. Was it intentional on Gene Roddenbury's part? Whoops, now I've let on to who he is. I don't think most readers caught on to the exact character I was mentioning. Eep! )
