“Bubba, look at that will you? It’s been there all day. Grill and propane tank just waiting for corn-on-the cob fit for a king.”
“Or fit for Bubba,” laughed Stu. “Let’s run down to the store and buy some meat. Maybe even add a couple of spuds.”
“We will be back for a formal dinner by five; dinner by six. Can you beat that?”
From the bushes, Wes gave Barb a grin, “Yes, Barb and I can beat that. We will have steak, taters, and corn on a silver hubcap! Tomorrow you will be hungry – with a headache.”
They shared a conspiratorial glance.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
Any chance they could all share nicely? Plenty Plenty go round all? I suspect not.
Wes and Barb are not community-minded! Their philosophy was more on the side of “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine also.”
I can see this ending in tears
I didn’t see a way to make this end like the lives of a couple of saints. 😀
The most common “last words” in Tennessee and Kentucky are “Hey, Bubba, watch THIS!” 😂
That brings a laugh!
None of that sounds very hygienic!
If I get a chance, I will tell them to stop at the 7-11 and bring a dozen wet paper towels back with them. 😀
Wonderful story. I am not sure how sanitary that grill is! 🙂 Although, I love steak, taters, and corn!!!
I think the fire takes care of live bugs, at least the ones big enough to see. Some friend might suggest to them that if they are going to continue the form of eating, perhaps they should carry some hand sanitizer. 😀
Wes and Barb seem like a shifty pair. But well fed, no doubt.
You wrapped that up nicely – shifty and well-fed. No money is needed.
I think it’ll take more than the 7/11 wet paper towels to clean up their act!
I’m simply emphasizing that the standard of cleanliness for Wes and Barb is based on how many wet paper towels it takes to make things “clean enough.” Thanks for replying.
Wes & Barb seem a bit untrustworthy.
I wonder what they’re going to do next.
Interesting …
This is pretty much a way of life for them. They are happy and not likely to change.
LOL. Strangest trap with the strangest best ever. Now I want to know if they actually snare their quarry or not. Too fun.
