OUR JIMMY = WALLY

As any dear friends would do, Freddie and Jimm (AKA Wally) take care of our house in The Villages while we're gone.  They come over each Monday, get the mail, flush the toilets and just check things over.  Sometimes they even call to tell me the pool is green. 

Well, this day our Jimmy took Water Lilly out for a ride so she is ready for me when I get back to the house.  It appears that Water Lilly had a mind of her own this day.  Our Jimmy  (AKA Wally) was preparing to take the old girl for a spin and it appeared he had it in reverse but perhaps not, as he went through our kitchen wall.  Through might be a slight exaggeration but let's just say we now can have our own drive through window. 

Freddie called to tell me what happened and after I stopped laughing I thought, "Only to Jimmy could this happen".  I told Freddie that as long as no gators can get in we can fix it when we return.  I suggested to Steve that he repair this at the same time he repairs the two holes in our closet wall where he installed electrical outlets.  Perhaps Steve can just improvise here as well and put in a huge electrical outlet. 

Upon repair, we will put a large flashing stop sign and those cement poles you see protecting the bank tube machines.   We are just glad that the Lilly was not hurt.  Unlike Water Lilly on television, she has had no cosmetic surgery thus far.   Needless to say, we have not asked Jim to test drive our car. 

And to be sure, Wally will not live this down anytime soon. 

We love our Jimmy in spite of his driving abilities, or lack thereof.
