For those of you who....

We celebrated Jim's birthday and for those of you who know him, you know how he wanted to celebrate his birthday. Well, it turned out to be a very windy day and not just windy, but nasty, dirty windy. Being a little down on his big day, I decided to take him to a funny movie to cheer him up. Well, for those of you who know him, know what he ended up doing; he fell asleep! Still feeling a little bummed, he had to run Alex and her friend to the airport- they were headed to EFY Camp in Dallas. On the way, Jim asked Alex for her car keys. The car was sitting behind the boat and for those of you who know Jim, you know what that means. (If the wind dies down he's going skiing!) Well, she acted funny about giving him the keys and didn't produce.
We forgot about the keys until later. He was even more bummed! A whole week without skiing! I looked at the clock, realized Alex was just about to board and decided to take matters into my own hands. I called Alex told her to give the keys to someone at the desk. She was still reluctant, so, I had to resort to threats! She left the keys and Jim headed to the airport on his motorcycle to retrieve them. After returning home i asked him if he got them. He said yes, but he was shocked when they produced the key chain! It was a big wad and he didn't know how he was going to carry it on his motorcycle! He said the cycle leaned on the side of the keys (3 keys) the whole way home! Now I know why Alex was reluctant to hand them over. I wished I could have been there to see his face when they handed him the keys! I still chuckle to myself when I think about it. And for those of you who know Jim, you know why!

WOW! That's quite the set of keys! Maybe Alex gets her collecting genes from someone in the family? Perhaps one of her parents?! LOL
