The O. K. Corral is Okay!

Today has been pretty quiet—thank goodness, because today I spent most of my day doing the end-of-the-year paperwork, because I like to keep up with it, so I am not bombarded with it next year, which is only three days away.

Late this afternoon, around 3:30, after I had returned several phone calls, Tony and I went outside to do some work on our old picnic table that was literally falling apart, in my writing cabin's front yard, because during our lunch that we had with Carol a few days ago—we've decided to turn The Bunkhouse's front yard into a cowboy/cowgirl paradise. Tony suggested that we call it The O.K. Corral, which I loved, but immediately changed it to The Okay Corral, because it makes me laugh.

The Okay Corral is going to have a big natural rock fire ring in the middle of the yard, so we can start having campfires in it with Carol and all of our friends to enjoy, when we are not in Burn Ban mode and Tone is fixin' to start building an authentic chuck wagon box, which will be put under a roof, that we need to build, so he can start doing his delicious dutch oven cooking for us outside, which means coffee, beans, biscuits, cobblers, etc. and we are going to put in a horseshoe throwing pit for cowboys and a washer throwing pit for cowgirls and the best part about all of this—we will have the use of The (pink) Bunkhouse and my pretty, pink Princess Phone, that I love, that sweet Eileen gave to me and we will get to listen to his old country music and my music or who knows after Carol and I take our singing lessons at Club Ed in February—we might just sing, with me pickin' in the background!

Early this evening, after we had repaired the old picnic table, I suggested that I paint it pink to match my writing cabin and T. was totally against it, so we had one of my Libran discussions about it. "Tony, we can paint it pink and when we have our friends over for dinner—I can put a tablecloth over it, so no one will know..."

"Yeah right. It will be pink, too..." So tonight as I end my post, the question for everyone is, "What would Ronnie do?"

Y'all have a great evening! I'm fixin' to call Ronnie now!

Do you really think Ronnie would paint his picnic table pink???? NO, Ronnie would not!!! Ronnie is a male and no matter how often you ask "What would Ronnie do?", he would NOT paint a picnic table pink ... maybe red, but NOT pink! So, just what did Ronnie say????? Because we all know you asked!
