Introduction
I must have a little fun with this article. You know how I am! Don't you, sister-in-law? I thought so! If you had replied to my voicemail today, I wouldn't have written this article!
'57 Chevy
The '57 Chevy was a classic car! Back then, men were men, and women were women. The USA was still a great nation. I was born three years later. You, sister-in-law, were born seven years later. We were both born too late to have enjoyed the ride.
I have a friend from grade school and high school. His father, who passed away recently, had a great '57 Chevy stored in their basement. I saw it many times. I wonder where that car is now. My friend, his mother, or his sister may know.
Revenge?
Okay, sister-in-law, you reached the grand age of 57 yesterday. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman, your sister, saw you. I called you about 5 PM to joke with you about reaching the age of a '57 Chevy.
Thirty minutes later, at about 5:30 PM, the storm hit. Fifteen minutes after that, we lost power. Our power was off until 10:35 PM. I woke up from sleeping on the couch five minutes before the power came back on. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman was already in “sandman land.”
Sister-in-law, what did I do yesterday that caused you to shut off our power with a storm? I just called you to say “Happy birthday” and to joke a bit about being '57 Chevy years old! Did my wife do something to offend you? Was it your '57 Chevy revenge?
The storm and power outage reminded me that I can live “off the grid” without electricity! It was great!
Maybe you didn't take '57 Chevy revenge on us! It could have been your gift, reminding me how to live without electricity. If so, thanks!
Conclusion
I'm just having a bit of fun, y'all. It's suppertime. Let's eat!
Come back to read later. I have at least two more articles in mind.
