I am glad that you enjoyed the golf with grandma update. Cool about the McDonald's thing. You are the same age as my sister and we still eat at McDonalds quite often as well. Especially when we are out travelling as it's quick, cheap and you know what you get when you eat traditional western junk food! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Ms Southworth, thanks for all your comments as well. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I don't know if anyone's used the names Herbert and Hilda together in a Dallas fanfic before. It's not something I remember reading anyway. You make a good point when you say that Rebecca's mom probably doesn't like eating at McDonalds! <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" /> But actually JR promised Rebecca to stop at McDonalds on the way home (drive thru) so he didn't get out of eating their food after all! :rlol:Yeah kids are brutally honest, they tell it like it is whether you want to hear it or not! So gotta love that about kids. Wow! I never thought about that this is one of the most read threads on soapchat before you pointed it out.<img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/black/t1607.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool1" title="Cool1    :cool1" data-shortname=":cool1" /> I guess it's because I still think of the JR/SE swoon thread as having 1 million views which it did before the server crash last fall. So compared to all those old threads that had the most views on this site, 30 000 views really isn't that much!  Anyway enough said and on to an update:Sue Ellen, Lucy and Donna were sitting by the pool at Southfork. They were dressed in swimsuits as they were sunbathing. Donna said, “I still think it’s strange that JR took Margaret and Rebecca to the movies. It’s not like him.” “Yeah I bet he’s up to something,” Lucy agreed.  “Why do you think that?” Sue Ellen asked, as she lowered her sun glasses. “Oh come on Sue Ellen. You know what JR’s like,” Lucy said. “I do,” Sue Ellen sighed. “And I must admit at first I thought he was up to something too. But now I’m not so sure. I mean what if he’s just trying to be nice?” “Well maybe so,” Donna said. “But why would he do that?”“To score points with me,” Sue Ellen said. “You’ll see he’s trying to persuade me to stay at Southfork.”They laugh and Lucy said, “Sounds like JR.”“But I thought you lived in England?” Donna asked.  “I do,” Sue Ellen nodded. “Even though the house is gonna be so empty without John Ross.” “I can understand that but he really loves it here at the ranch,” Lucy said. “He does, and to tell you the truth, so do I,” Sue Ellen confided in the other women.  “So is that why you haven’t returned to England yet?” Lucy asked. “What do you mean?” Sue Ellen asked.“Well you said you were only gonna be here for a month…” Lucy reminded Sue Ellen.  “I know but that was when I thought John Ross was gonna come back home with me. But since he isn’t, I figured I’d stay for another month,” Sue Ellen explained, as she fastened her sun glasses in her hair. “That makes sense,” Donna replied. “Yeah and besides I haven’t had the chance to go see my Mama yet either,” Sue Ellen explained. “She’s away on some cruise and won’t be back for another two weeks.”  “Sounds like Patricia,” Lucy rolled her eyes.  “So how does Don feel about that you’re staying longer?” Donna asked. “Honestly, I don’t know. He’s away on some business trip and his damn secretary refuses to leave a forwarding number,” Sue Ellen said annoyed.  “So where does that leave you and Don?” Lucy pried. “Are you getting a divorce?” “I don’t know, it’s sort of complicated,” Sue Ellen sighed. “Isn’t it always?” Donna sighed too. “All I know is that England doesn’t feel like home and being here, just makes me realize how much I’ve missed Texas,” Sue Ellen said. “I know what you mean, I’m not sure I wanna go back to Washington either,” Donna said.  “But what about your husband?” Lucy asked. “Oh Andrew and I are divorced,” Donna revealed and the other women looked surprised at that.   “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize,” Lucy said compassionately.  “It’s okay, it happened over a year ago and we’re still friendly,” Donna said. “I don’t understand how you can be friendly with your ex’s,” Lucy said.   “Well it works for us,” Donna said.  “That’s good,” Sue Ellen said. “I’ve never managed to do that.” “Well that’s because the Ewing men are different,” Donna said. “Sure are,” Sue Ellen agreed. “They are so stubborn and get angry when they can’t have things their way.”  “Yeah and they are proud too. They just won’t admit when they need help,” Donna said.  “And whenever they’ve done something wrong they think they can buy their way out of it,” Sue Ellen added. “Like JR always used to send me flowers or give me gifts.”“Well I guess you don’t have that problem with Don. I don’t exactly see him as Mr. Romance,” Lucy laughed, when Miss Ellie’s car pulled up in the driveway.“Looks like they’re back,” Sue Ellen said in an attempt to change the subject.“Yeah I wonder who won,” Lucy said, when John Ross and Chris ran up to them. “So how was the golf?” Sue Ellen asked and looked at John Ross. But he just ignored her question.Fortunately Chris answered instead. “Fine,” Christopher smiled, “especially John Ross’s water balls.”  “Oh like you were any better picking a hole in the lawn,” John Ross teased Chris. “So what’s the result, who won?” Donna asked.“Grandma won. She’s really great at golf,” Christopher said. “So what was her score then?” Lucy asked. “Oh 60 something, but we didn’t finish the round,” Chris said.  “Why not?” Lucy asked. Christopher and John Ross burst into laughter.  “What’s so funny?” Donna asked.   “He got a hole in foot,” John Ross laughed. “Did you just say hole in foot?” Sue Ellen frowned.  “Sure did,” John Ross grinned.  “You’ll see he hit a bald man in his foot with the golf ball and the geezer came over to us to give us a lesson so grandma had to defend him.” “Oh right, like you were any better hitting your golf ball into that woman’s ass!” “You did what?” Sue Ellen exclaimed and John Ross looked down.   “He hit the bald man’s wife with his ball and then grandma figured it was time for us to leave,” Chris laughed. “She looked ridiculous, so it was really fun.”  “Yeah I never thought golfing could be that much fun,” John Ross grinned. “John Ross that’s not funny,” Sue Ellen said.But John Ross didn’t care what she said. “I guess you just had to be there,” he gave her one of his shit eating grins, before Chris and John Ross walked into the house, still laughing about what happened.Miss Ellie then walked up to them after parking the car. Lucy said, “Hi grandma, we’ve heard you’ve had a rough golf-round today!” “Tell me about it,” Miss Ellie sighed, as she sat down in an empty chair next to the younger women.  “Miss Ellie, I’m so sorry about John Ross’ behavior today,” Sue Ellen apologized. “He really should know better.”  “Oh it’s quite alright, after raising three sons I’m quite used to it,” Miss Ellie said.  “Yeah but surely JR, Gary and Bobby must have behaved a lot better,” Sue Ellen said.  “Actually no, compared to their fathers at that age, John Ross and Chris are quite well behaved,” Miss Ellie said and Sue Ellen looked surprised.  “So what did they do then?” Lucy asked.  “You really wanna hear what they did?” Miss Ellie asked. “Yes Miss Ellie we’d love to hear about it,” Donna said.  “Well I can’t tell you all the things they did since that would take all day,” Miss Ellie laughed. “But I in particularly remember the time when we went camping at St. Mary Lake up in Montana.” Miss Ellie smiled, “I had been bugging Jock to take us on a vacation for months and he finally relented, only that there really is no such thing as a vacation when you are travelling with three boys.”  “I can imagine,” Sue Ellen said.  “When was this grandma?” Lucy asked. “It was before I was born, right?”“Yeah, it was and Ray hadn’t moved to us at Southfork yet either,” Miss Ellie paused for a moment before she went on. “I think JR must have been about 16…”“Like John Ross is now,” Sue Ellen smiled knowingly.“Oh yes,” Miss Ellie smiled. “So Gary must have been about ten and Bobby, the little sweetie was just about 6.” “Okay so what did they do?” Donna asked.“Well at first not a lot. But I’ll never forget the third day in the park. You’ll see we woke up at five that morning from a really weird sound,” Miss Ellie laughed. “Turns out it was a bear that had broken into our food bin.”“You’re kidding!” Lucy exclaimed.“No,” Miss Ellie shook her head.“But how did it get there?” Donna asked.“Bobby,” Miss Ellie laughed. “You know how he’s always so concerned about everyone, well the day before when Jock took him fishing he had seen a bear further away in the lake. Thinking the bear was hungry he had then left a trail of fishes for the bear to eat...”“And the bear ate its way all the way to your food bin,” Donna put two and two together.“Exactly,” Miss Ellie laughed and all the women joined in on the laughter.“You must have been thrilled,” Sue Ellen laughed.“Not exactly, all that remained was can food, so Jock and I went into town to shop some necessities,” Miss Ellie explained. “And we left JR in charge of babysitting his brothers…”“Oh-uh,” Sue Ellen made a face.“And Gary in charge of cooking some lunch,” Miss Ellie sighed.  “Oh no,” Lucy laughed, “Dad can’t cook.”“Well you’ve got that right. Turns out that while we were away Gary had managed to start a small grass fire,” Miss Ellie replied.“Oh no,” Lucy said.“Oh yes,” Miss Ellie laughed. “It was a good thing that the park ranger reacted so fast or they could have gotten seriously hurt,” Miss Ellie added seriously. “When the fire department got there the fire was already out. But when we got back we were charged with a huge fine and asked to leave the park.”Donna, Sue Ellen and Lucy laughed and Lucy said, “So that was the end of that vacation?”“Well not quite, you’ll see when we returned, JR was missing.”“Oh boy here we go,” Lucy said. “Let me guess JR was probably out chasing girls,” Sue Ellen said sarcastically.“Well you know JR,” Miss Ellie smiled. “Turns out he had managed to seduce the park ranger’s daughter.”“I guess that must have made Jock proud,” Sue Ellen said.“Well yeah he was, until after we got home and there was a letter waiting for us in the mail. The girls’ father was suing JR for seducing a minor,” Miss Ellie said. “Luckily JR was a minor too so the charges were dropped.”“He sure got a way to get away with everything,” Lucy said.“Yeah,” Miss Ellie nodded. “But I must say that was one hell of a vacation and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it!” Miss Ellie shook her head. “So well the next time we went on a vacation I made sure to leave the boys at home!” Miss Ellie finished her story and all the women laughed.</blockquote>
