Pearl-Up Close & Personal

Now my friends...

If you remember~ I said I wanted pearls

for my anniversary...

Lovely, glowing, lusterous,

luminescent pearls.

MyHero chose to present me with

something that he says will

GLOW like a pearl

after THE ORANGE

is covered and/or gone.
Then, he says,

She will have earned her name...

THE PEARL

Come along to the garage with me..

which he insists he built with her in mind.

10' high clearance (most of THEM are higher)

And no more than 28' long..

so that he can walk behind her.

(He has already walked behind her ONCE-

you can find that story HERE)

But I don't think that is exactly what he meant

when he was talking about walking behind her.

There she is...oh be still my beating heart.

She was the MacDaddy of her time.

The be-all/best-all ever made.

Her wood cabinetry was hand polished and

oh-so-fine...still is...

Here's the door latch...

a bit smudged from the dreaded

Mechanic Fingers.We grasp the handle,

open the door,

and what do we see?

Well...carpet on the door.

How clever is that?

It is to "dull the road noise"

I am told.

Hmmm...thought maybe it was so my

footprints wouldn't show the KICK marks.

Upon entering I notice that the

ORANGE SHAG CARPETING

is in almost perfect shape...

because it has always been covered by this:Cool! No need to replace something

that is just like new...(MyHero's idea)

Right? Wrong-o!

Can you say Pergo?

Ooooooh...what is THAT?

Well, that is a STOVE

cleverly disguised as a stainless

steel countertop.When you raise the lid you see this:Oh great-Now I can go on vacation

and COOK...just like I do at home.

Whoooeeeee-can it get any better than this?

Oh. yes. it. does. because

here is the countertop and under those two

little cut outs are two sinks.

Wow! I can COOK AND

wash dishes...What fun for me!Not to worry...Whilst I am

washing dishes I can watch TV

and use all those VCR tapes

that I have so thoughtfully packed away..

Did I know this day was coming?>(AND...while watching TV I can

pop my popcorn in the

handy-dandy Radiation leaking,

tumor curing MICROWAVE~

All this for no extra charge!Glancing to my right I see

a dinette-where I can serve

each gourmet meal I prepare.

This little beauty adroitly folds down

into a BED -just in case we have

company. I hope they are not tired

when I am hungry or we are gonna have

BIG problems!Straightway ahead of the dinette is

the passenger seat where

MyHero will ride...

because, if you remember,

I like to drive...

and he likes to ride.Notice how he has hidden the FOR SALE

sign under his chair?

We would not want anyone else to have

the chance to own this beauty!

I will sit here.

I will drive.

I will drive with

a brown bag over my head

until this baby is NOT orange.

Turning around we head down the hall.

Refrigerator is on the right-past the stove.

Are ya LOVING that wallpaper?

Honey-it ain't never gonna be

1975 again! It's gotta go!Put your sunglasses on cuz

next up are the COUCHES.

Now, I want you to remember something.

This is INSIDE a garage...

There are NO interior lights on in here.

Look at this baby GLOW!The back of this little honey flips up

to make a bunk bed above

the lower berth...

Speaking of which...

do you suppose any berth making went

on in here? Oh..I see...it's spelled

birth-English language is funny like that, huh?

But now that I have thought of it....eeeew

Spray those suckers with Lysol fast~
Walking straight down the hall we

walk into the bathroom!

I see this....What IS this?

I dunno...but I'm betting I can

spray paint this little gem white.

Oh! Now I see...how VERY ingenious.

A toothbrush...cup...toothpaste holder.

What? No used toothbrushes? Really?

Did you notice the lovely blinds

up behind the counter here?

Ohhh...loooook...how.....cute...

It's a sink for midgets!

I can get my whole right hand in there

at a go. Whooopee!

Oh crap! The sink picture deleted

by mistake...trust me....it's tiny!

On my immediate left is a

toilet...no pretty way to say it...

it's a toilet.

Well, it's the right color

at least it won't show any pee.

And haven't you always just

LOVED CARPET

in a bathroom? uh-huh

Sitting right up close and personal

is the bathtub.

Now I'm not saying it's small..

but I have long legs..

I figure if I get my legs in there

and bend over

I can moon the people that are

directly behind me.

Whaddaya think?

Hope we're not moving at the time

I want to bathe. Now that I'm looking at it

I think the grandkids could probably pee

in there and I'd never know...

we have ONE that would...

And are you loving THIS special wallpaper?Well, that's our Pearl.

When she is all prettified

I'll come back with an update..

but meantime..

I'm thinking with all her

special things..

and all her sweetness..

and her coloration..

maybe we should call her

THE PEACH!

Whaddaya think?
