OUT OF THE BLUE INTO SUNSHINE

It was a gloomy day when the phone rang. On the other end was a telemarketer. I was just about to hang up when I heard the gal say, "Hold on."

I replied, "Why should I? I can't afford anything right now."

"Oh, I don't want to sell you anything... I just want to talk." said the lady. "The longer we talk the less I have to call others & bother them. Do you have a couple minutes? It will make me look good to the boss."

"Ok. But just so you know I am having a bad day & it looks like it's going to storm here any minute." I warned her.

Well, 30 minutes later we were still talking. It was then I realized I didn't know who I was talking to. "What is your name?"

"Autumn Sunshine" she replied.

"Wow, that's a beautiful name. Does everyone go by a nickname there?"

She giggled, "No, that's my real name. Is Lady Harley your real name?"

I couldn't help but to laugh. "Well thank you Autumn, you really made my day!"

"Thank you for taking time to talk with me. Now, may I go through my presentation real quick, just to make this official?"

"I suppose." I said reluctantly.

"It's quick, because you've answered a lot of my questions already. I have figured out that we don't have anything that will work for you. However..." she continued with a quick rendition of products that I would have no use for.

"Well, you're right. I can't use any of that stuff. Though tell you what... If you send me an email we can keep in touch & if that changes, you'll be the 1st to know."

After we swapped emails & a couple other stories about our lives the conversation concluded.

I didn't think I'd ever see an email from her. But the next morning when I did my regular email check there was one from Autumn.

It said, "I just wanted to say 'HI' & thank you again for taking time to chat with me yesterday." She didn't try to sell me anything or include a link or pictures. Which made me happy that I didn't have to worry about any problems.

For several days we exchanged emails & a week later a knock on my front door sent the dogs to barking & my heart pumping.

"I wonder who that could be" I said, as I pulled my one Great Dane down off the door.

I peeked out the blinds to see a UPS delivery man holding a package. I thought, "What did my husband buy now?"

When I opened the door the guy asked if a Lady Harley lived here. I smiled & said "That's me!" After signing for it, he handed me the package & took it inside.

The return address was from Autumn, but I had not clue as to what she was sending me. I didn't buy anything.

Since I still really didn't know her yet, I cautiously opened it, hoping I didn't just set myself up for something I'd regret.

Worried over nothing the gift revealed 2 dog bones for my Great Danes, along with a note:

"Just a little something for a new friend... ok, it's actually for your babies... but still, I couldn't resist when I saw them the other day. Take care, Autumn Sunshine"

"Aww." I muttered with tears in my eyes. I unwrapped the bones & gave to each dog. Then, I powered up my computer & rushed off a thank you note to her.

I found out she lived not to far from me... So, after a couple months of more emails, I suggested we meet at a local fast food joint for a coffee.

We continued to meet once a week after that. We then went out with our husbands to dinner & they both instantly bonded as well.

Then one spring morning I received a call from another telemarketer... Thinking of the friendship I had with the last salesperson, I stayed on & listened to the deal. This time the lady was very pushy & short.

I politely said, "You know, you probably could have sold me about anything right now, because the last telemarketer I talked to is now a dear friend of mind. But with your attitude, I feel all you want is to make your sales quota. So, no thank you!" Before she could reply to try to smooth things over, I hung up.

When the phone rang 2 seconds later I abruptly said, "I told you I am not going to help you with your sales quota."

The sweet voice of Autumn spoke & said, "Hey, if I didn't know better, I'd think you had something against telemarketers."

Again she made me laugh. "Oh, sorry. I just had a nasty call. But once again you have brightened up a gloomy day."

"Well then get ready to let the sunshine in... I have some news." without pausing she said, "I'M PREGNANT!!"

*******
Ok, who didn't see that one coming??!?!?!? LOL! :)

United Friends Challenge #32 - A Treasure of Friends & Memories...

Well, it's been a while since I've contributed... I even missed one of my own challenges. Well... Since my next challenge is going to be posted tomorrow... I decided to do the current one... besides, I miss doing these! :)

UFC is comprised of some very talented authors... some, like myself,  are just mere amateurs... 

We were not forced into this, but rather invited by others... I personally love this group, because writing a passion of mine... I especially like the fact it can be fiction.

With that said...

Here's the current challenge... proposed by Sunshine at Midnight...

Create a story/poem using at least two of the following random items:
Aardvark, bubble wrap, tongue, treasure chest, paint brush, kaleidoscope, postcard, clicky pen, balloon, dictionary.

(I'm going to try to use all the words!)

A Treasure of Friends & Memories 
by Lady Harley
(Fiction)

To my delight one Monday morning I received a postcard from old high school friend, Cathy. The picture was of breathtaking sunset with the beach at the front & in the background a snowy mountain top.

The caption on the back read "Avilia Beach, Ca".

In her eloquent handwriting, Cathy wrote:

"I know it's been a long time since we've talked... However, if you're up to it, come join me... Details to soon follow." Loving hugs, Cathy.

Cathy is more of an adventurist than I am, so I had not clue as to why all of a sudden she sent me, of all people, an invite to come see her over 2000 miles away.

Later that day I received a package with Cathy's name & address as a return address. I quickly found the scissors & opened it up, hoping to find out what the mystery was all about.

Inside wrapped carefully in bubble wrap was a miniature treasure chest. My curiosity was peaked even more when I saw the lock on it... I frantically searched through the brown packaged paper to see if I missed the key.

A few minutes later, my husband, Scott arrived home from work to find me crawling on my knees combing the floor for the elusive key.

"What ya looking for?" he asked. I stood up & showed him the items I received.

Pulling an envelope out of his suit pocket he quipped, "I wonder if this will fit. I received this at the office & couldn't for the life of me figure out why your friend Cathy sent me a key."

"Oh that little stinker. Here I thought I was loosing my mind!"

"Well then, I guess you should go see what Cathy is up to!" Scott smirked.

Sticking my tongue out at him, I replied, "Not before I open this treasure chest!"

Practically ripping the envelope in half a chain with a tiny key on the end of it.

I couldn't believe how bad I was shaking from pure excitement. I finally managed to get the lock open & then I removed it slowly from the box.

My husband squawked, "What? Now you're going to be calm? Just open it already!"

I glanced at him & said, "I'm just trying to prolong the anticipation! Once it's open the surprise is over."

"Knowing Cathy, I have a feeling it's only just begun."

To antagonize my husband even more I slowly opened the treasure chest. Once the contents were finally revealed, my mouth dropped.

Staring at the paper, I said, "It can't be!"

"You'll never know..." cutting him off I hurried up & picked up the paper inside...

Sure enough it was a plane ticket to California, with my name on it!

Seeing my eyes widen & my smile even bigger my husband reached around me & grabbed it out of my hand. "Where's mine?" He whined.

Snatching it back & said, "She must just want it to be a girl's only thing!" But then, I flipped through a little bit more of the paperwork & sure enough, there was another ticket in Scott's name.

Sticking his tongue out at me, he said, "I guess she loves me too!"

While I was looking for something to explain it all, Scott turned his attention back to the treasure chest to see if Cathy included any other clues.

He turned it over & out spilled a little bit of sand, a balloon & a piece of paper.

"I hope you're going to clean that up." I said as I grabbed the paper, in hopes for explanation.

Unfortunately it only led to more questions. For it said:

'Join me for a kaleidoscope of colors & to plop your toes into the Pacific Ocean. Don't miss your flight! We'll have a weekend to remember. Loving hugs, Cathy

P.S. Don't forget your camera!'

I looked at the tickets again & realized the flight left that Thursday morning. Turning to Scott I saw he was about to make a call on his cell phone.

"Can you get off work with that short of notice?"

"I'm sure I could. Boss has been telling me to take a break. I'm calling him right now."

Moments later we were both up in our room pulling out the suitcases & started to pack for what would be a whirlwind adventure.

I thought Thursday morning would never arrive.

To put my excitement to good use, Scott hands me a paintbrush & said "Here! Let's paint the guest room. You said you were going to do it this weekend. Since we won't be here, you better do it now. You know how you are after spending time with Cathy. Besides, it will make the time go by faster."

Before I knew it we were in the air on our way to the Golden State.

"I wish Cathy would have given us a number to reach her, so we could let her know we accepted her generous offer." I mumbled to Scott on the plane.

"Oh, I bet she had no doubt you'd accept. She's probably going to be waiting at the airport for us."

Scott was right, Cathy was standing in front of all the other folks waiting for other passengers.

After the hellos & hugs, I asked Cathy, "What's with all the secrecy?"

"Oh, you'll see!" She giggled. Then she turned & grabbed the arm of a very handsome man next to her & exclaimed, "This is my husband Cameron. Cameron this is Michelle & Scott. Michelle was my best-est friend in high school. Her & Scott were high school sweethearts. They also were Prom Queen & King. We all envied their love. Of course now I know what it feels like to find your soul mate."

Giving a firm handshake I joked with Cameron, "We didn't pay her to say that!"

We all laughed as we walked to get our luggage. While the men waited, Cathy pulled me aside & filled me in a little bit.

"Ok, I have to tell you what's going on, but I don't want Scott to know."

I nodded in agreement & she continued. "Do you remember what this Saturday is?"

I stood there for a moment & tried to recall the date in my head... "Aww, come on Cathy, you know I can't think when I am tired. Not to mention jet lagged!"

"Think back to twenty years ago."

"Oh my goodness! Has it been that long already? I totally forgot!"

Before I could ask any more questions she started in with the details of our upcoming 20 Year Class Reunion.

"Did you front the tickets for everyone?" I asked.

"Are you nuts? No, just for you & Scott. I wanted to be sure you 2 made it & I wanted you here a day early so you could relax & we could catch up. But I did send everyone a postcard & a treasure chest. Yours was the only one with tickets. The rest just got a miniature mascot & details about the event.

We have had 17 of the 29 class members confirm. The other 9 have either passed away or just could not swing it financially. I even invited Mr. Stevenson & Mrs. Hanson & their significant others. They both accepted! So, we will have at least 40 people arriving late tomorrow & early Saturday."

"Wow, Cathy, did you plan all this on your own?"

"I had Cameron, of course, plus a couple friends. The hardest part was finding toy aardvarks, wrapping & mailing over 30 of them treasure chest. It was received well by all."

By that time Scott & Cameron had retrieved our bags. They led us to their car & we stayed with them.

Cameron kept Scott busy with golfing & other male bonding activities while Cathy & I greeted other classmates at the airport.

Late, Saturday afternoon I stepped out of the guest bathroom in my pink evening gown & my husband come up to me & said, "If I wasn't already married, I'd ask you out right now." Then he stepped back & asked, "What have you & Cathy been up to? Did I forget our anniversary or something?"

I chuckled, "Or something. Trust me, you wouldn't forget our anniversary!"

We met our host's in their Great Room & then they we all climbed into the waiting limo outside.

"Wow Cathy!" Scott exclaimed, "You had us at hello."

We all laughed. Then that led to story after story about the good old days.

Cameron asked, "Why aardvarks for a mascot?"

We all looked at each other & started to laugh again. Cameron was even more baffled & inquired again, "I don't get, what's so funny about aardvark?"

Scott then told him the story behind the story...

"I don't know who came up with an aardvark for a mascot... but Arvie the Aardvark has seen his share of pranks.

Our football team tried to steal the rival team's tiger mascot. Because they all chickened out at the last minute, they decided to paint our school mascot, being an aardvark. Trying make it look like a tiger so that the rival school would get blamed, they painted stripes on it.

The next morning the team arrived to see that probably should have had lights on their project, because it was not orange & white... but rather hot pink & lime green.

Because only one store in the area carried those colors & it belonged to the QB's father, coach knew right away our team were the culprits. We found out later that the QB was color blind!"

When the limo reached it's destination we were all laughing so hard we were crying. Cameron & Scott helped us ladies out.

As we walked toward the ballroom Scott heard some familiar voices & he smacked his head & said "Oh my, how did I forget? Our class reunion!" He turned to me & asked, "Did you know about this?"

"Not until we arrived." I replied. He then gave me a big hug & said "Well, it's been 20 years since we've graduated... You know what that means."

"Yeah, we're getting old!" Cathy interjected. "Come on, they're all waiting for us!"

I was amazed at the transformation of the drab room I sat in just 2 days earlier trying to figure out how we'd cover up some of the stains on the walls & carpet.

We reached our table & saw that the hotel had placed a little notebook & a clicky pen on each plate.

On Cathy's plate was a note: "Since the majority of your guests have traveled a great distance to get here & that you have a small class... we have included these notebooks & pens to allow you to obtain each others contact information. We hope you'll return for future reunions. Thank you for your business."

After she showed me the note, I giggled, "Why didn't we think of that?"

We spent the rest of the evening catching up with all our friends & telling story after story about the good old days at "Central High".

When the sun was setting, Cathy gathered everyone out by the beach for a class photo.

She was right. It was a kaleidoscope of colors!

Adventures in California... Day 3...

Hello again from SUNNY California! This picture was from last night a top of Black Hill Mountain. Which is just across from where my dad lives. The big huge rock near the middle is Morro Bay Rock.

Today we got up & went to a restaurant called "Margie's" in San Luis Obispo for Dad's birthday breakfast... Dad & Joyce warned me ahead of time that they give huge portions... I'll tell you what... That's an UNDERSTATEMENT! LOL...

Dad & Joyce split an omelet & potatoes... & I got French Toast & taters (which are little red ones diced... well, no... diced is not the right word... they were more quartered & grilled to perfection!) Dad took once slice of my French Toast... & I ended up bring home some of the potatoes. Everything was fantastic!!!

After having full bellies, Dad had to make a quick stop at Home Depot... then onto Traders Joe's... They have some great deals there! I ended up getting a little toy for Sunny & bag of "Cuties"... (they are little bit sweet oranges... called clementines.)

They are from the company that my hubby came out here for a few months ago... to install a machine for. When he came home he had 5 bags of these cute little things... (I guess that's why they call them Cuties! LOL)... & I took one bite & well, I think I may have a new favorite fruit! (used to be watermelon.)

Anyway, by the time we got back to Dad's ... I was ready for a nap... I am not sure if it's allergies or what, but the ol' sinuses were pounding.

So, Dad let me sleep & then he took Joyce to work. When I woke he was watching "The Masters"... I watched the last little bit of it with him. It was neat to watch them put "the green jacket" on the winner.

Then Dad made some WONDERFUL Beef Stroganoff... scrumptious, as always!

Then I watched Ashley Force almost win her 1st NHRA Funny Car race... she was just edged out. Hubby & I haven't been watching it this year & I didn't realize Ashley is a force to be reckon with! (Sorry... bad pun! LOL). Anyway, with her win in the Semi-Finals she topped the points lead... 1st women to do so in the history of NHRA... (maybe just for Funny Car class.)

Dad (& I) says thanks to all who have left messages so far to wish him "Happy Birthday".

Also while Dad was on his computer he had received an email with a sample of the new $5 bill! Ha! Ha!....



Isn't that the truth?!??

Now we (he) is watching the old movie "The Color of Money"... yep, the one staring Paul Newman & Tom Cruise! It's on ESPN Classics...

I feel old, because it's from 1986 & they are calling it a classic already! LOL...

I am not sure what's on tap for tomorrow, besides the fact we're going to McClintocks in Pismo Beach as a treat for my "belated" birthday dinner! :) I am looking forward to it!

With Joyce having to go to work bright & early in the morning... I think Dad & I will have a relaxing day! :)

Well, being the fact it's after 10:00p.m. (1:00a EDT) I am ready for bed! I pray you all having a great weekend! & Talk to you tomorrow sometime! :)

P.S. What's with all the butterflies? Well Joyce loves butterflies & so, I am doing it for her!

It's another SUNNY & BEAUTIFUL day here in California... (& it's someones birthday...)

Today is my Dad's 70th Birthday... I know I don't have to ask... but I will anyway (LOL) please pass along your birthday wishes as a comment to this blog... & later on I'll have him pull it up on his computer to view it.

Anyway...


... our plans for today are to go out to eat for breakfast... & tonight Dad is going to make his signature Beef Stroganoff.

Not sure what else we're going to do... Don't worry, I'll let you know! LOL... In the mean time...

Adventures in California... Day 1 & 2...

I am having a blast!! It's so gorgeous out here. Yesterday & today it has been 85+ degrees & SUNNY!!! Cool at night, but feels great!! & It's not very humid out... Now I know what they mean by a dry heat! For example, right about now it's 85 with 23% humidity... & usually I'd be sweating up a storm or completely passed out from heat exhaustion... Though I am tired... it's not really from the heat.

Though I have not been out & about today, I'm having fun just being lazy & finally getting the chance to blog! :)

Yesterday we had a blast! Dad & Joyce (my step mom) took me 1st to the big rock... Morro Bay Rock... I took pictures & watched as the waves come crashing ashore. I then saw one of many seagulls just sitting waiting for his picture to be taken.

While I was taking his picture Joyce saw a little squirrel playing in the sand by the rocks. So, the photographer in me made me turn my attention upon him.

Then his little friend came out of hiding... as you can tell by the picture. They were funny to watch. Because every once in a while one of them would roll around in the sand as if a dog rolls around in the grass. Then they would chase each other.

I thought they were chipmunks, but Joyce said they are squirrels... then I saw their tales & yep... that's what they are.

Then we went to Atascadaro, because Dad had a chiropractor appointment. So, Joyce took me to some thrift shops... where I got quite a few bargains!! Joyce actually found a beautiful wall lamp for only $6... & it fits well with the decor in here.

Dad even bought me an outfit... & a few shirts. (It was buy 1 get one 1 free day)... & I made out like a bandit! I now have a couple things to wear at church.

We then headed to Caycous & we sat out on the Pier & listened to the waves. Of course I took more pictures. (I will figure out a way to share them all with you in a little bit... Dad is getting ready to make supper... so I need to get this train to it's destination in a hurry! LOL)

So, we came home & Dad made some delicious BBQ Ribs! :) A neighbor couple was over & joined us & it made for a fun evening.

Then Dad & Joyce went to bed & I was trying to watch the show NUMB3RS... a few minutes later... I was just way too worn out... So, I was asleep by 10:30p ... but being the fact to me it's actually 1:30 a.m... I can understand why I was tired! LOL

Oh, I almost forgot to mention about Charlie! That's their cat! He's so CUTE! & So lovable! Charlie will even play fetch! LOL... he has a toy mouse you will throw & then he brings it back to you to throw again.

Today has been kind of a lazy day for me. I think the jet lag has hit. After breakfast Dad & Joyce went out to get a small ceiling fan & I stayed & took a nap. Now I am watching typing this blog & watch

After supper Dad is going to take me to Montana De Oro to watch the sunset. Which is in less than 1 hour!!!

Well, we've reached our destination. I hope you enjoyed this trip aboard "The Rambling Train".

Have a GREAT night!
(Tomorrow's destination... California sunsets!!)

Keep an eye on my blog... I hope to be blogging about each day about my travels & the activities my dad, Joyce (my step-mom) & I do! :)

I saw in my 360 blog that I wrote almost every day the last time I was out there! :) So, I hope to do the same this trip around...

I just hope AND pray for NO FOG in San Luis Obispo on Thursday night! I don't feel like being fogged in Las Vegas!!

So, please pray for that & a smooth trip... if you pray that is! Thanks!! :)

Countdown to my trip to California...

Skybus Announcement & other news...

After hearing this news earlier today... I am OH SO glad I did not get my tickets to California from Skybus. There were several times I almost did purchase from them. Who else can beat the $10 flights. (By the time I was looking they were always $50 to $75 one way.)

I just heard that this is the THIRD Airline Company to file bankruptcy... Or as the ABC Sunday News Anchor put it... "The 3rd airline casualty." With it said like that I'm not sure if that means bankruptcy or not.

Anyway, to have flown Skybus, I would have flown into Burbank, CA... which is about 180 miles away from the airport that is only 10 miles away from my dad's place... so with the gas prices going up, instead of down... well, you guessed it, he wanted me to fly to the one close to home. Which is quite understandable.

So, now I am glad he was insistent on this. Otherwise, my trip would have been cancelled.

Well... as you can tell I've been busy the past few days... getting ready for my trip & other everyday things.

Today I went to church, & it was a really good service. I usually am more pumped up with the praise & worship that we do... but it was not just that today... Our minister had a great sermon about a "Marriage Check up". I'd go into it... but right now I can't because if I want to post this anytime soon, I have to cut it short. Also, I don't have my notes right by me... & so I am being lazy! LOL :)

Anyway, I wanted to also talk about some other news from today... Some sad news... Former NRA President Charleston Heston died. He was also the actor who played Moses in the Ten Commandments. I was watching a few clips from his NRA speeches... & this was a brilliant man. He did some wonderful things in his life.

One other note, again sad... The ABC station out of Cleveland lost one of their own... Sportscaster & Voice of the Cleveland Browns Gib Shanley died today.

Another reason I can't go into anything is because hubby & I are watching the movie "I am Legend"... we're only taking a break because he had to take the doggies out. Now that he's back in... it's time to start up again.

So, I'll come back later & update this with some more links & etc... So, look for the updated version! :) LOL

Did you get a friendship ball today?

Rating:	★
Category:	Other

The friendship ball messages.... I just have to say be careful with it... because I started to copy & paste the code it gave... then about the 4th guest book, I wasn't previewing it... & what popped up was NOT what I pasted... it was some video... Not knowing what it was... I clicked to play it... & being April Fool's Day... I should have known better!!!! because within 5 seconds or so of it starting... my computer locked up & then shut down.

THANKFULLY, though, when I restarted it (via safe mode, then normal) it seems nothing is wrong...

I currently have my Anti-Virus software running a scan right now.

Anyway, I thought I'd warn you... be sure you preview it no matter how many times you post it!

And NO this is NOT an April Fool's Day joke... I WOULD NOT KID ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!!

I am NOT going to post anymore "friendship balls"... not going to chance it... $hiba is too dear to me! :) :)

Doesn't mean you can't... just be careful! :)
