-----I’m back!!!!! I thought the post “FAVORITES” was getting a little too long and I wanted to continue to comment some more so I’m continuing it here.
-----Ronnie, sorry but I can’t remember the name or how that concoction was made. I only remember that it was great. If I could remember I would try to make one myself. But boy it was good.
-----WOW, Do I ever remember The Rex Drive Inn. The greatest hang out ever. Bubba was the greatest waitress I have ever known or seen in my life. Boy and they had the best food too. I remember when I believed it really peaked was when the hot muscle cars came out and every one would drag race in front of “The Rex.” When the GTO’s, Chevelle’s, Mustangs’s, Dodge Dart’s and many more. Who had that red Dodge Dart? He was a friend of ours but I can’t remember his name ?? I remember one drag race in particular between Ernie and Fisher. They backed onto the highway in front of The Rex. Ernie’s GTO was about a 64 and he had it for I guess about two years or so. But Fisher had just got his brand spanking new 67 GTO. He maybe has had his for 3 or 4 weeks. They both backed up onto the highway in front of The Rex, some one singled them to go, Ernie shot out quick, smoking his tires. Poor Fisher. He tried to take off but he forgot his Goat was still in reverse. He busted his transmission and there were pieces of his transmission all over the road. He cried, we laughed. The Rex reminds me of the movie American Graffiti. All good memories in that place.
-----I knew about Danny passing but I sure didn’t know about Phyllis. How did she die ?? Was it sudden or was it expected ?? I also remember Danny’s little brother dieing by driving his go-cart under a truck in his drive way. That was a very sad time for us all I think.
-----BOY, I surely do really remember that “Bouray” game, now that you mention it. One of the few times I ever won anything at cards. And you are right I did pay for everyone’s drive inn that night. If I’m not mistaken we all met at The Rex.
-----A lot more good memories of “Down The Baya.”
-----Well that’s it for now. Oh, by the way Cheryl and I are probably going to meet Rosie on Grand Isle. But I think we are going very early Friday morning because Cheryl is working Thursday night. I want to try and do some crabbing. Hope to see ya’ll there.
-----L-U-A,
--------Peter

yeah, Bubba was at the Rex when ya'll were young then when we hit to going out years, she came over to the Boat Shed where we hung out as teenagers.
ReplyDeleteShe cooked there for the little while there was a resturaunt and she treated us all like her kids, didn't hesitate to fuss us when we needed it.
Mom and I are planning to go to grand Isle on the Thurs. night to sleep then I will have to bring her home early Friday because it will be just too hot for her to stay outside without a place to sit in airconditioning.
I am hoping that Tie will allow me to bring Angelique with me so she can hang out with Cammi because they seem to be the best of friends as they get older....
If you get there early enough on Friday, hopefully we will get to see you and Cheryl.
DO YOU REMEMBER RAYMOND CALLAIS? I THINK IT WAS HIS RED DODGE DART. I REMEMBER THAT RACE, JOYCE AND I WERE STANDING OUTSIDE THE REX AND SHE WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. SHE THOUGHT THAT THE GUYS WERE SHOWING HOW MUCH OF THE KID THEY REALLY WERE. OF COURSE THAT CHANGED WHEN ERNIE WON!
ReplyDeleteREMEMBER CJ LOAN YOU HIS CAR ONE NIGHT AND YOU WENT IN THE DITCH GOING OR COMING BACK FROM GRAND ISLE? WAS IT HIS CONVERTIBLE? DON'T REMEMBER WHICH CAR. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY ANGRY AFTER THAT ACCIDENT BUT HE WASN'T. HE GOT A NEW CAR OUT OF IT AND HE WAS OK WITH IT. AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME AND NEVER COMPLAINED.
PHYLLIS HAD A MASSIVE HEART ATTACH. SHE MADE IT TO THE HOSPITAL BUT DIED A LITTLE WHILE LATER. I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW PHIL. SHE LIVED AWAY I THINK IN ARKANSAS OR ALABAMA. WHEN SHE AND MIKE DIVORCED SHE CAME HOME FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND I THINK THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO HER. AFTER A WHILE SHE WENT BACK BECAUSE PAGE AND ERIC (HER TWO CHILDREN) WERE THERE. MIKE REMARRIED BUT I DON'T THINK PHIL EVER DID.
WOW I REMEMBER SCOTT DANNY'S LITTLE BROTHER AND THAT HORRIBLE ACCIDENT ON HIS COCART. THAT WAS A TERRIBLE TIME AND I STILL REMEMBER THE FURNEL. POOR DANNY HE TOOK THAT SO HARD.
L Y'LL
you were right...the other one was getting long. what can i really say....i haven't been on since then. probably as often as you will see me. but boy do i enjoy reading what ya'll have to say. good memories. almost better to wait a week or so b/c then i get to read everything all at once :) pop, you've always been very generous. doesn't surprise me one bit you gave that bar tender all the money.
ReplyDeleteas far as uncle david is concerned, i know that everyone is making it through. lot's of support from friends/church members for the family over there. i'll get another up date this weekend when i talk to christie.
mike is doing pretty good too. he finally has more help that is now trained which means he can just work 13 or so hours every day instead of the 16 he was working. they are working oppostie shifts (mike on days). we just hit 5 weeks gone so just 2.75 more months left to go!
