Texting and the Lone Ranger

I didn't mean to be away so long.  Life has been busy- a revolving door of people. It has been nice, but I miss all of you!  I get odd looks if I talk about my online world-so I learn to just talk about social media in general.  I only share blogging thoughts with those who blog.   It is weird sometimes-like we are a secret society in public, but online we share our world. 

My daughter told me the other day, that I look like an Native American elf.   We were going to Subway and I was talking about The Lone Ranger.   She was texting, "Are you talking about an old boyfriend?"

"What?  Are you kidding me-no, it was a TV show a long time ago and now a major motion picture.  It has been advertised for awhile. Johnny Depp is in it.  He plays the part of Tonto, the Lone Ranger's partner.  Look behind you, there stood a cut out of the Lone Ranger.   You haven't seen a preview?  Well, if I look like a Native American elf, than I rather be Tonto's girlfriend."

 When my daughter was little she thought George Washington was my mother's boyfriend.   Mom had a drawing on the fridge, from another grandchild.  I remember the day well.  My son was talking about a girl he liked and my daughter smirked and said something about grammie's boyfriend.   My mother laughed, "okay Angela who do you think my boyfriend is?"

 Angela laughed, "Duh, George Washington." -she was little, five years old at the time and her brother is seven years older-hence the duh comment.  

"Why do you think that?"  Mom laughed.  

 The wisdom of a child, "because you see him every day at the bank and because he is the oldest person I know,  and because you have a Cherry tree." 


Before we went to see World War Z,  I was telling my family about my grandmother having a pet crow.  His name was Jimmy.  He would fly up to her at the same time every day and she would feed him popcorn.  He wasn't in the house, but an outside pet. My family started laughing at me- "You are so funny."

  I called my Mom putting the phone on speaker, we were in route to the theater. She said she didn't know what I was talking about.  My family had a good laugh.  Thing is I can see the table where I am sitting talking to my grandmother and she is telling me about Jimmy.  She was a young girl and he her only pet.  As we rode along we saw a crow in the middle of the road and I rolled down the window and yelled "Hey Jimmy".   Jimmy also made an appearance in World War Z and in The Lone Ranger.  I recently saw him crash into an invisible dome on Monday night, created by Stephen King and Steven Spielberg.  Are you watching, Under The Dome-what do you think?     Did you see Jimmy?  lol

So, I told my daughter that my gypsy grandmother, her great grandmother is originally related to the actor, who played the first Tonto and his crow is a descendant of a special spirit guide.  My daughter stares at me and then I start singing Jimmy Cracked Corn and I don't care.  

See what happens when it gets too hot-the sun has scorched my brain!
