Welcome to another edition of Fly On The Wall group blog postings hosted by Karen of Baking In A Tornado. Today, there are three of us bloggers inviting you into our homes to see what a fly might see (or overhear).
That nosey fly has been buzzing around me like crazy in this Florida heat, and he has been bringing several of his friends! Shoo fly, SHOO! He has also been eavesdropping on my conversations.
We just finished up a lovely (but very hot!!) 5-day camping trip at Peace River Oaks, where I almost had to call 911 when Mac suffered a mild but scary heat stroke. The dummy didn't drink enough water before we headed out to walk the trails, so he got a good scolding from me. After a cold shower, electrolyte beverages, and a nice nap in the cold RV, he was fine and ready to party over a rousing game of cards.
Fortunately, the next RV resort we're going to for our July 4th vacation has a pool and an air-conditioned tiki bar, so Mr. Mac (a.k.a. "Hamilton") can stay cool while drinking his mai tais.
Father's Day with the family was loads of fun even though I got beat numerous times in cornhole by my 2 sons. The oldest kept bragging about his wins, so I decided to annoy him the rest of the night, speaking to him in the "Talky Tina" voice (from one of my fave Twilight Zone episodes). "My name is Talky Tina and I don't like you..." My son was not amused.
As I said earlier, the fly has been following me around (or most likely Mac since he sweats a LOT outside and smells like the Stinky Cheese Man) at home and during our RV trips. Here are some snippets of conversation the pesky critter overheard:
Mac is out mowing the lawn right now and---you guessed it---sweating. Stay tuned for the next episode of Hammie the Hobo Meets the Stinky Cheese Man. Ham and cheese, anyone?
***Want more Meno Mama? I am delighted to share another humor essay that I was assigned to write for AARP, titled "My Kids Think I'm A Hoarder!" I'm very proud of this funny piece and hope you will read it HERE. I also have another foodie piece up on AARP/The Girlfriend: "Easy 5-Ingredient Summer Dishes" that you can check out HERE

Scary situation, during a Florida summer, campgrounds with pools should be a must. And I cannot believe how fast those grands are growing up.
ReplyDeleteAren't they the cutest? My big loves!!
DeleteTime for one of those 'beer' hats, I'm thinking! Loved this, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea--as long as Mac doesn't drink ALL the beers.
DeleteYour family always looks like you have much fun together. So nice! We just had "fly season" in our house and so glad it's over.
ReplyDeleteHaving fun is essential to our well-being as we get older. Laughter keeps all sorts of illnesses away--therefore, the shenanigans continue at the Doyle abode!
