there was a heated discussion going on as some of the women grumbled that this Boomer B&B was for Boomer women only, NOT their husbands etc. It was a place of solitude and comraderie for the women and not a place for baggage. It is not the Holiday Inn. They have to go said Chatty lets put it to a vote so we can get on with our Boomer babes high jinks in private, ok said Queen JJ as she sipped her steaming coffee and munched one of the fresh baked jelly rolls. Eagle stood and said all those in favor of the rule NO men except for entertainment say I, others say nay, thats it them the

...men have to go! Then Dreamer, the quiet one, spoke up with an excellent idea! "Let's hole a huge bake sale all day and a Margarita and Guacamole Party all night to raise money for the Boomer Men to have a place of their own! Then we'll know where they are, our homes won't be turned into pig styes while we're here, and we can have some peace!"

Fabulous idea, shouted Searcher, Pam, Dotsie and the others...let's vote!

I vote nay, let these lazy men have their own bake sale and booze party. No wonder their helpless, these women do everything for them? Now you see why so many of us stay single and free. I vote we send them on their way then hold our own sale and.....

Meredith, who had already traded in her husband for six leopards and really didn't care where he was (any place but here...) rolled her eyes in her best (albeit lousy) imitation of domesticity and purred,

"Why, I'll be happy to bake for the men. I have this perfect recipe -- avocado nut cookies. We could feed it to the men first, and see if they bounce."

(Ms. Grammar Police wishes to remind everyone that she'd never misplace a modifier, and that "they" in the last sentence does, indeed, refer to the men.)

Perhaps if they ate enough cookies we could bounce all the men away? Just a thought...

Or if they drank enough booze we could float them away?

Either way, away is where the men should be.

And so it was voted by a majority of the Boomers present, that the men be banished from the Boomer B&B. A compromise was reached relative to at least HELPING the helpless men (tee hee) with raising money to build their OWN "getaway" spot by donating some baked goods. Chatty formed a crew of ladies who had "special recipes" (including Meredith's avocado cookies) and off they went to the kitchen to........

...begin baking away but then, the women decided rather than give the men enough booze to float them away, they drank it themselves while creating cookies for the newly homeless men...

Daisygirl, Chatty, Dianne, and JawJaw baked dog treats for dogs in foster homes rather than cookies for humans. They were so delicious that dogs and dog people from all over began placing orders and before they could say "roll over" they had a brand new successful business! They only kept half of the money for themselves, and contributed the other to dog rescue organizations throughout the country! The Boomer chick home became the headquarters for "Le Chic Chien Cafe" and was just the beginning of ................

a really true effort to help the truly helpless. These treats were so good they could be eaten by people too. Well except maybe for the Avacado bouncers, these were used as toys for the dogs. JJ and Dianne had the wonderful idea of making some cookies in the shape of a shoe and they were the quickest to sell. Chatty decided to make some look like steak bones and those went well too. Daisygirls fire hydrante cookies were too good to be true and the dogs that they were tested on gobbled them up, all except for a tiny chihuahua who insisted on trying to lift his leg on one. The kitchen was filled with song as the women watching and packaging the cookies sang, Elvis's You Ain't Nuthin But Hound Dog. Just then Eagle Heart and Smile appeared in the doorway laughing wildly because

Eagle and Smile had just run into Elvis in Person down at the local juke joint. Wow what a guy! Good looking as ever.

He said tell all the boomer girls...
