City Trip!

Together.Talking.HorsesFor the last year or so we have had problems starting the truck.  When we turn the key in the ignition sometimes the engine starts and sometimes it doesn’t.  Usually it takes a few goes before it gets started.  It was becoming such a  routine that the Catholic Gnome would turn the key with a Sardinian prayer.  Finally I said to him that it was just getting too ridiculous and we should just get the starter replaced.  I said to him,

“What if we get stuck out in the middle of nowhere!”

And he replied,

“Babes, we are in the middle of nowhere!”

Piggies Are Happy.

Oh…so we are.

Anyway we took a trip to the Big City last week and got the truck fixed up.  Everything is now fine; we even saw a freezer on a pick-up.  That’s 850 points.

Fridge On A Pickem-Up: The Rules.

Here is another Munchkin and Gnome Game which might become famous once we are minor celebrities.  So, even although it seems like we are the only ones that find this game humourous, it is our hope that this might catch on at some point…”go viral” so-to-speak.  However, I would like to give a Big Thank-you to Ginja  Bwai for playing this game with us once.

Last week, we spotted a Fridge On A Pickup at Tommy’s Superstore in Bella Vista.

Gnome:

“Quick, quick, get a picture before you miss it!”

Munchkin:

“Yeah but…how can I miss it?  It’s not moving!”

Gnome:

“Sorry Babes, but you do have a habit of missing them!”

Spotting a Fridge On A Pickup means 1000 points!!

And we have had close calls in the past as I fumbled around for the camera as the truck and fridge came whizzing by.  Look!  It’s speeding away!!  There have been a few fast and furious car chases in Belize with Munchkin and Gnome!
