~Taco Box~

I thought I would share another one of my little storys..its not

a real long one but really cute..I hope you like it..:-)

My 2nd husband and I had a tree service in Indiana. It was a

good business, at one time we had 4 trucks, a boom, chipper,

dump and pickup. 5 men worked for us, one was my boy, Donnie

and our main climber was Julio, a Puerto Rican friend, and the

best climber in probably the state of Indiana. He could throw a

rope up in a 40 foot tall tree and be up in that thing in a matter

of minutes..He was very strong..and one of the best climbers I

have ever seen..Donnie, well, if he could go up in the bucket truck

he would, but to just climb a tree, no I think he said the last time

he had, he fell out and broke his arm. We had a great crew all

very good at what they did...

Donnie was the head groundsman and was in charge of all the

ground work of brushing and cleanup and of course hauling off

the wood..That day they had to make a run to bring a load of the

wood back to my house and on the way decided to stop at

Taco Bell, and get lunch, they got taco's for themselves as well

as for me, we sat on the back porch and chatted and ate our tacos...

We were talking about alot of things..What we planned to do that

week end, we each had plans..Julio, baseball, of course, Donnie

was going fishing..and I was just gonna take it easy and cook, as

usual, being summer probably on the grill...

As Julio is eating his taco he looks at Donnie and says "I have a

taco box" Donnie looks a little confused and looks at me, I said to

Julio "why do you keep your taco's in a box?" Don't you eat them all?"

Donnie laughs and says " I dont need to worry about a taco box I

never have any left when I get them" and of course I agreed. Julio

shook his head smiling at us since we look totally lost by now.

Julio looks at his taco in his hand..starts to laugh at Donnie and I

since we are looking so confused, like 'WHAT does this guy mean?'

Julio says "no no ..not taco box ...TACO BOX", again- Donnie and I

laugh, and look at each other...."what do you MEAN Julio?" I said..."I

dont keep them in a box either, they COME in a box, I never get that

many that I need a special box to keep taco's in. Julio is laughing now-

so are Donnie and I...We are looking at each other frowns on our

foreheads ..TOTALLY confused and laughing..Then Julio says...

"NO NO..TACO box--TACO BOX--..you know the kind you keep

FISHING stuff in ! FISHING TACO" :-)

Donnie and I looked at each other and laughed so hard ! we both

just shake our heads ....Donnie says

"TACKLE Julio.. T-A-C-K-L-E.NOT TACO." says it letter by letter

to him, spelling it out...Julio said THATS what I said.! .TACO BOX !"

We all had a good laugh at that. Came that saturday, Julio stopped

by to talk to my husband about a tree job as he is leaving he said

"Lois..I am taking my TACO BOX and I'm going fishing with Donnie"..

as he waves and goes back out the door. My husband looks at me and

says "he doesnt use that for bait does he?." :-)

I just laughed and proceeded to tell him the details about Julio's taco
box.. he got a kick out of it too..They did catch quite a few fish with
that Fishing TACO :-D

Well there is another little fishing story for you.. we all laughed so
hard at that..I wonder if Julio still keeps his TACO's in a boxl.. :-D

Good news !!!, Donnie is grandpa again, a baby girl. Isnt that just great?

His first wife had 2 daughters that he raised, this is the youngest of the

two..he has a grandson by the other..Kelli doesnt have children as she is

getting a good education, her Masters Degree. she is the one married

of the 3 however. Nikki and Amber have significant others I think they

are called now days..lol...They are lovely girls, my Grands :-) and my

honeygirls as I call them, and my neices I refer to them as honeygirls.

Kelli. shes that but I call her my Dolly..she was, still is, a cutie but as a

baby? she was a Doll...hence..Dolly.. :-) She doesnt mind I call her that.

She is the oldest of the 3.

No mess report..as of yet but I still have until midnite to go, so far so

good. :-) so keep your fingers crossed...I will make a trip out to the

kitchen for a soda and I think some cheese crackers tonite sound good.

just something light...3 guesses what was in my lunch today AGAIN ..

CARROTS.. I think those things must be grown by the zillions or are

SUPER cheap..am I the ONLY one that hates carrots? lol..Many times

as we get them for lunch I guess they are quite popular..wish they
would take a vote lol... Nitey Nite...;-)

Always, Lois****
