So girls, I just have to share my most embarassing moment of the new move so far. Keep in mind that even before Jesus I just wasn't a big drinker and if I ever did, it sure wasn't a beer. My uncle is coming to the Ranch tonight and after 5 p.m., he drinks beer like water so he can't be without.So, we wanted to get some in the fridge so he would have something to drink when he got here. So I ask Joe if I will have to go to Madisonville to get Corona Light (his water of choice) and he says no I saw an ad in the Normangee paper yesterday advertising the Beer Barn and its open from 10 am to 9 pm. Okay, here we go...
So I drive into town and come upon the Beer Barn which is actually a converted barn that has big coolers in it. There is also a carport thing on the side of the barn that looks like it would be for a "drive thru." So I drive through and roll my window down and ask, "Am I doing this right?" She looks at me very strangely and says I'm okay. Then I proceed to ask, "Do you come to my window or do I need to get out?" She informs me that I need to get out. I wonder what the purpose of drive thru is if you have to get out of your car. Strange. I ask for a case because I don't know the lingo. She brings me two 12 packs...wow, that's a lot of beer. Then, she asks for my driver's license and studies it very carefully. Then she asks if I have ANOTHER FORM OF ID!?! Wow! I am coming upon 28 for goodness sakes. I offer my debit card with my picture and she studies them both very intently. She tells me to have a good day but I am sure the word around town will be that the new girl can throw 'em back! Next to our land here, there is Sand Prairie Baptist Church and I wouldn't be surprised if they hold a prayer vigil for their new neighbors.
