You know, like George Peppard of the "A - Team" used to say, " I love it when a good plan comes together. "
That girlfriend of mine, Sharla Ann, had her birthday last friday. A few months previous I found out that she had a brother in Phoenix , Arizona that she hadn't seen for almost 15 years. Well, with a little of investigating work and some help from AT&T I was able to track him down. After me explaining what I wanted to do , he agreed and I sent him a roundtrip plane ticket. Sharla was aware that myself and some of her friends were going to take her to dinner at a place called " The Cattle Call " a large steakhouse in Clarendon, Texas. Well, I had Jingle Bob go up to Amarillo Rick Hudsbeth Airport ( Named after the astronaut that was killed in the failed entry) and pick up her brother Billy. We all got to the resturaut and sat down at the table and unbeknowing to her Jingle arrived with her brother just as we sat down. We were all talking and laughing and having a good time . The waitress came and took our orders and left and in a few minutes she returned to bring us our drinks. We had already gotten permission for Billy to come up behind Sharla and server her her drink. She saw this big hairy arm come around her and set down her drink in front of her and because she thought it was a little unusual even in a small country town for a woman to have that muscular of an arm she glanced back and when she saw him it was as though she didn't recognize him.
She just sat there with her mouth open and eyes wide. Then her brother kinda chuckled and said, " Hi Sis".
Well , what happened next was one of those moments that you just want to remember always. Her lip started trembling, her eyes watered up, and she jumped up and threw her arms around him yelling , " OH MY GOD ! OH MY GOD! " and started bawling soaking brother Billy's shirt with her tears.
Things finally calmed down and after Billy told her how he happened to be there she came over sat down on my lap and gave me the biggest ol' smacking , good kiss, I have ever got. Well after the party we took them back to her house and we left them alone so they could catch up on what had happened for the last 15 years.
Sharla and I took him back to the airport last night and after he left Sharla gave me another big smack and told me that was the best birthday present she had even gotten. Well I told her that was good because I heard that is better to give that recieve. She smiled , and ask me how she could ever repay me. I told her that maybe she should give me something so she would feel good . She looked at me kind of suspicious and with a wry grin ask me what I wanted. Well, I reached in my pocket and took out an engagement ring and offered it to her saying, " Oh, I don't know, how about giving me you for the rest of your life? "
LOL ! Well here we go again. Now I'm the one with the soggy shirt as she shouted , " Yes ! Yes! A thousand time Yes! "
All in all it was a pretty good weekend.
