Let the New Year Begin

So far today, the Cheaps have cleaned out the snack bar (we're talking enough snacks to feed a family of four for three weeks) AND took the baskets of crackers off the dining tables, Pearl is missing a pair of blue velvet slacks and claims Rock Ridge is the "thievenest" place she has ever lived, and la piece de resistance: A resident drove her scooter into a wine display at the grocery store.

They may never let us back in the store.

Did you at least see the scooter/wine display incident? Because that must have been simultaneously horrifying & hilarious.

Sounds like she had already been into the wine. Friends don't let friends scoot drunk.

Have you ever seen the Monty Python "Hell's Grannies" sketch?

Because even if you haven't ... you have. You're living it.

Oh man - did she have something against the wine? Is she one of those old broads that think drinking is the Devil (my grandma). I can only hope that one day I will see someone drive into a wine tower! I guess I'll settle for the mental image. perfection.

I didn't get to see it myself, but the look on the WorkerBee's face as she related the incident to me was almost enough. Hell's Grannies (hilarious, btw) has got nothing on this crew.

She didn't do it on purpose, although we do have several who would probably try that stunt. This lady is just a really bad driver!
