Yup, you can call me Sheriff Jackiesue now...I made my first shop lifting bust Sunday..This woman came in...maybe mid 20's...Tall blond, pon
y tail, and with a purse the size of a pup tent. Inky said bird dog her, she's one of those that shop lifts but we can never catch..So I watched what she had in her cart and she had a orange something and a brown something, couldn't tell what it was...So I pretended to be fronting stuff and just kept an eye on her and then all of a sudden the orange and brown disappeared...I told Inky that Thom said I could ask to look in their purse if I thought they had taken something, so I walked around the corner to check her purse out to see her putting one of those small personal fans in her purse. She looked at me and kind of threw her head back as if to say 'oh fuck'... I said 'give me that and put it in the basket and said is that all?...I took her purse and there was little blouse and pair of shorts for a kid about 3 years old...I took it out and said, "don't ever, ever come back here again."...and let her go...I could have called the police and had her arrested, but all I could think of was that little girl. Inky was so impressed that we finally got a shop lifter I thought he was going to hug me..I called Thom and said 'this is Sheriff Denney, I just nabbed me a shop lifter..'...So Thom said he was going to get one of those kid's badges and a little wallet so I could just flip it open and show my badge..ha...

(not wanting to say peon's) and she said yes, that's it...laborers...so it's like a workers restaurant...They were giving free food to welcome people to the restaurant and they asked me to come..so I went..I was the only gringo there, only 2 people spoke English, but I was made to feel very welcome, and the food was terrific..Just basics, home made corn tortilla's, beef, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, red and green salsa, rice, a rice pudding, that looked so good, but can't eat rice..I love green salsa...love it...red's ok...but I'm a green salsa gal...and it was the best green salsa I have ever eaten...and hotter than a mother fucker..usually green is pretty mild for me...and i like to spice it up..no need to spice that up...I was sweating like a fatted pig...I tried to pay them but they wouldn't take my money...They took an old restaurant (Cotton Mill Inn) and redid the inside, put in old red leather booths, white table cloths, Mexican music blaring, kids all over the place, strings of light hanging from the ceiling, and lots of good food..What more could you ask?...They will be open for business either Wed. or Thurs. and I will be there for sure...Don't need a translator for enchiladas, tacos, menudo, or togo!...ha..
Today I took Annie to t
he vets and got her shots and nails trimmed...I thought she would throw a hissy fit..but she was soo good, and I was so proud of her..Got 3 shots and only cost $35. We talked about Henrietta(the vet is Henrietta's son and his wife is the receptionist) and she and I ended up crying ....we both miss her..I told Tom(vet) about the books and that I was going to try and sell them and donate part of the money back to the library in Henrietta's name, because if I didn't she would come back and haunt me..He liked that very much ...

Today I'm going to go to Jenny and Jason's house. I have all those books for him and she wants me to see all the stuff they got at Lowe's for the yard..Th
