Trailer Park

Well...let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with trailer parks or those that reside in them. It is true! I met my beautiful wife in a trailer park. No...she was not a resident there or anything like that...not that there's anything wrong with that...but it was a trailer park in West Valley City of all places...not that there is anything wrong with that either! As a young man I frequented such places in search of action...you know...a few winks here and a "howdy" there (if you don't know me very well, please understand that I am joking right now). We actually were both there attending a graduation celebration in the parks clubhouse. The celebration was for two girls who are cousins and I was friends with one and Becky the other. As was common in my younger days I manned the post of parking lot greeter along with several of my associates. We greeted many young ladies that day but one stood out from the rest. I don't know if it was because she was a foot taller than all the other girls or that fact that she was the only white person there, but I was under her spell. She had "bewitched me body and soul...and I love..love.." l loved her (that quote is from Pride & Prejudice and its use here is what you can refer to as "I've got game"). After some introductions and small talk...her group agreed to meet my group at the local hangout...Hardees (mmm...curly fries and a mushroom & swiss burger). Unbeknownst to this beautiful woman and her friends... I had labored long and hard all week long doing various jobs for my uncles like building fences, breaking cement slabs with a sledge hammer, laying sod and other minor jobs to earn my spending money for the weekend. So when the apple of my eye arrived with her entourage (now...take note this is another example of "Hema's got game") I stepped up to the counter and slapped all of my hard earned money down...all $20 of it...and said "get whatever you want". Good thing 20 bucks went a little further back then because really that was all I had. The girls ordered in typical girl fashion so there was still enough left for some extra burgers and fries for me and the guys. The rest is history!

The best twenty bucks I've ever spent and the reason my heart races anytime I pass a trailer park. - I love you babe!
