Well, y’all are not going to believe how delicious Drew’s, I mean my, asparagus soup was yesterday! It was so quick and easy to make, and truly the best soup that I have ever tasted! Tony absolutely loved it and got seconds. I didn’t because I was full, so I put the remaining soup, in a container and froze it. I really hope that everyone tries the recipe—I guarantee, that you will love it!
Today, after watching the latest updates on Hurricane Ike, Tony and I decided to run to Kerrville, to stock up on supplies at WalMart—just in case—Ike gets Icky. After parking Buttermilk, I grabbed a nearby shopping cart which kept veering off to the right, so when I spotted another abandoned cart, I switched to it, which was not a wise decision, because it kept veering off to the left—as I tried to push it. Tony and I were laughing about it, when I found another empty cart, just before the Wal Mart Greeter—greeted us. “Third time’s the charm,” I said, as I switched carts, again. And, I was right, it was in good working condition!
After stocking up on supplies, Tony and I quickly returned to the rescue ranch. I had two new messages on the answering machine, both from Kinky, asking me to please call him as soon as we got home!
“Nance,” Kinky said. “Are y’all back at the ranch?”
“Yes, we just got back. What’s going on?”
“Little Jewford and Debora drove down for a visit, and they really want to come over to see the Space Ship and go into Outer Space with you, Tony and me. Would it be okay for us to come over there?”
“Good grief, Kinky! Of course they can come over—we would love to see them. Come on over.”
“Cousin Nancy, says it is fine for us to come over,” Kinky said. “Great, Nance. Thanks. We’re leaving now.”
A few minutes later, Kinky drove up, with Little Jewford riding shotgun, in the front seat, and Debora sitting in the backseat. After hugs and handshakes, we first went to the Space Ship and climbed aboard. They loved it and could not believe how cool it was! Then we went over to my writing cabin, and they loved it, too! Then we all climbed the steps, and went into Outer Space! They loved it of course, and could not believe that Ronnie and Tom had built it in a day and a half for us. They were really, really impressed.
It was a really fun visit with them, thanks to Little Jewford’s many witty and often funny remarks. He kept all of us laughing! He really is a natural comedian, and definitely one of the best.
Unfortunately, Debora, Little Jewford and Kinky didn’t stay long enough, but Deborah and Little Jewford promised to return to Outer Space soon—maybe the latter part of October! And Kinky promised that he would be back tomorrow afternoon, so he can have a private picnic with Toto and the rest of my gang—in Outer Space! Toto can’t wait! The others don't know.

Mission Control... I'm going to Outer Space. I just plain old love the sound of that! It looks wonderful and you have just done it up to a "T".
Is Kinky bringing Toto over in a basket on the front of his bicycle tomorrow? Just wonderin' ; )))
Have a great picnic, I just wish I could go.
The way I see it: if they can put a man on the moon, well you can get a Canadian girl to Outer Space. Here's hoping it won't be too long!
Have a great day Nancy, I love to read all about your adventures in Utopia.
Hi Nancy! I'm definitely going to try the soup. It sounds sooo good. (Can I use a regular blender to puree the ingredients if I don't have a Vita-Mix?) Judy
Hi Fay! We would love for you to come down from Canada and go into Outer Space with us and stay in the Space Ship! We've been good friends for a long time, and it would be great to actually meet you in person!
P.S. Tony said to bring Ian, Prince, aka Kris Kristofferson with you, too.
Hi Judy! I am thrilled about you wanting to make the soup. I don't know if a regular can cut it though. I think you should give it a spin and I hope that it work.
As you know, I named my Vita-Mix machine—Jaws. What is the name of your blender?
P.S. Guess who is going to be in Vegas in October!
Spell check here! I just reread, and realized I left out the word blender :if a regular blender can cut it though.
And, please add an s to work. Sorry about that. I 'm blaming it on Ike!

OMG - I'm so excited about your comment above I can barely TYPE! If it's you or Kinky, what a great birthday present that would be!!! Will it be anywhere around 10/3????
The blender's name... "WILL". (as in 'Will have to do until I can get a Vita-Mix'!)
Thanks Nancy! You made my day! (fyi - I have tentative plans to relocate to Kerrville - hopefully by the end of the year. If and when I do, I'd sure love to meet you in person!) Judy
Hi Judy! I love your blender's name! I asked Kinky during the picnic today in Outer Space, and he said, the deal in Vegas is not set in stone, yet. If he does do it, it most likely will be the latter part of October. If you move to Kerrville, please do come out!
