Tuesday Tales- July 29, 2014- Right
Today’s word prompt is Right. This will be the last Tuesday Tale until September. We’ve decided to take a sabbatical for the month of August. This story still does not have a name. I am really slow working on this one for some reason and am still in chapter two. I know, I know, I’m usually fast drafting but I can’t seem to get on a roll. I think it’s that my broken elbow is giving me fits still. That’s what I’m saying anyway. LOL
Be sure to check out the other tales here.
“This chicken is divine, Charlie,” Johnny said.
Kat was brought back to the conversation by his comment. “Yes, it is. So amazing. It’s the best I’ve ever had.”
“Thank you all.” Charlie stood and pulled her apron back on. “I better get this cleaned up.”
Paul stood and grabbed Charlie by the waist. He swung her around. “No way. You cook, I clean.”
They playfully wrestled for a moment. Kat stood. “I’ll wash, you dry, Paul.”
“I can wash, Kat. You sit.” Philip offered.
“No. I want to help. Charlie has been nice enough to let us in and cook for us, it’s the least I can do. Besides, I’m not sure I can stand by and watch you wash dishes. Remember what happened at the beach house that time you were cleaning the kitchen.” Kat laughed.
“You guys are never going to let me forget that, are you?” Philip stuck out his bottom lip.
“You got that right. Anyone who would drink as much as you did that day and then decide to clean when he was still on rubber legs, deserves not to live it down,” Johnny said.
“Since you are going to clean my kitchen, I think I’ll go home.” Charlie turned to Paul. “Can you lock up?”
“Sure. Go on. I’ll be there in a little while. I’ll see you then.” Paul encouraged Charlie toward the door with a light tap on her shoulder.
“You’re staying at the house tonight and not the hotel?” Charlie asked as she tugged off the apron again and grabbed some keys from the hook by the back door.
“Yeah. I think so. Will that be okay?”
“Always. You know that.” She blew a kiss and was gone.

Friday Facts- July 25, 2014- Detroit
This is going to be super short but was too cool not to share. The city of Detroit in Michigan was founded on July 24, 1701 by the French explorer/adventurer Antoine Laument de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac (how’s that for a mouthful of a name?). He was born in France but moved to New France on the American continent – the area stretched from what we now as eastern Canada and down to Louisiana.
He founded a fort in this territory and called it Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit on that date in 1701 which was 313 years ago yesterday. Interestingly, the city of Cadillac, Michigan was named after him as well. AND, if you’ve ever been to Louisiana, I bet you know where Lake Pontchartrain is, don’t you? This dude had some far-reaching influences, didn’t he?
Anyway, all that above leads me to the way cool Friday Fact I wanted to share. My love of symmetry comes into play here for sure. Detroit was founded 313 years ago yesterday and guess what their telephone area code is? Yep, you got it. 313. How cool is that? And could it ever happen to another city?

Friday Facts- July 18, 2014- Wienermobile
This week, here in lovely Pensacola, the Wienermobile from Oscar Mayer was parked on a downtown street. This led me to wonder when the first such automobile took to the roads of America. I was surprised to see that it was actually in 1936. Yep! 1936- I mean, really, that long ago?
It was created by Oscar’s nephew, Carl Mayer to use for advertising purposes. The drivers have their own name- Hotdoggers- which cracks me up because when I think of hotdoggers, I think of dare devil kind of drivers- show offs, if you will. I don’t think you could pop a wheelie with one of this puppies, could you?
The drivers hand out Wienerwhistles shaped like the weinermobile. I had one of these whistles as a kid. I don’t eat hot dogs but I love the look and idea of this vehicle. A very clever AND long-lasting marketing ploy.
