It’s springtime, and I see a package arrived from Jill’s favourite travel leader Brad. It’s an itinerary, a trip….an adventure! I don’t know where, but I know it’s soon! Jill’s thinkin’ it over, she’s not sure she can go…. you see, she’s missing her Forever Travel Partner Terry, (my mom) I know. I sure miss her too, but Mom gave me her instructions, and I promised Mom, to keep travelling with Jill, to be there for her, and sit together on the bus, and even hold her hand if she needs it. And besides, I told Jill, I think Mom IS coming, she’ll be rite there….”for she will always be…..in every beautiful thing we see”! So come on Jill old girl, let’s “Keep Calm, and Pickle On”…….together with all of you! Pickle South! Until soon!!
April 7, 2018 DILL MAKES A LUNCH DATE Jill’s had a phone call….it’s Julia, and there’s whispering, there’s hemming and hawing – it’s about the trip. I feel it in every pickle part of me, but I can’t hear, and Jill’s not telling! Mom’s taught me my manners, and I try to wait, but Jill’s clammed up, not a peep out of her! I’m one curious Cuke, somethin’s gotta give! I call Julia, and we’ve got a lunch date…it’s on! I roar out the driveway while Jill’s off round the lake.
To Coco Cafe in Cedar it is, the perfect place, where everyone’s welcome, unique and special. I’m meetin’ the folks and fittin’ right in! Boy, I’ve been home too long! And I get to work on Julia. “Come on Jules, spill the beans”…what was that call…are we in or out, comin’ or going’, what’s HAPPENING!! I lay on the chutney charm; she’s putty in my hands…she can’t resist…and she whispers in my ear. OMG!! More than I could have imagined! We’re going! JULIA’S going…we’re all going together!! There’s a party on Sunday, and I aim to go, it’s the big reveal, so get on with the show! I don’t know where, but I know it’s soon!! Stay tuned Peeps…there’s a Pickle on the go! Your loving Dill
