Subject: The Garden Party Chapter 2 Transgender/TV

     I will take commentaries from any no-genetic lady at
johnnail18@yahoo.com.


     It was Saturday after the garden party and I was eating lunch when the
phone rang and when I answered the phone I was pleasantly surprised.  I
said," Hello."

  She said," John?"

 I said," Beth it sure is nice hearing your voice."

 She asked," Did you talk to Kim and Brett?"

I said," No last night I just left and I will call when I finish the yard
work."

She said," That was just an excuse I wanted to hear your voice since last
night and was hoping you really liked me."

I said," What's there not to like?  If you come over I will be a little
dirty because of yard work."

She said," Really, I love doing yard work and I bet your yard needs a
woman's touch."

As I am weed eating by the fence I see her pull into the driveway.

She climbed out of the car carrying out packages of flower seeds.  She
walked to front of the house and gasped.

She said," You have a bed that is overgrown with weeds."

She worked on the beds for a good 2 hours and stepped back to inspect her
work.

I looked and saw bare dirt and just shook my head.

She said," You now have petunias, and roses planted in about a month they
should be in full bloom. Now unfortunately these aren't perennials so these
will have to be planted annually."

I said," Well you sure know what you are doing."

She laughed and said," I worked at a green house from the time I was 12
until I graduated high school. Now I am going to need your water hose."

She watered both beds thoroughly and put the hose away.

She said," Wow where did the time go maybe we should cook ourselves
dinner."

She found vegetables in the freezer and we got out lettuce and tomatoes and
bell peppers.  I started cooking up the chicken breasts in the oven after
putting peppers and some other spices and well set the oven at 375 and had
the breasts to cook for 45 minutes to an hour.

An hour later with rolls had the chicken out and the frozen vegetables were
done.  We took them to the table and we sat down and I was amazed.

She laughed and said," I had learned we need nutritiously balanced meals.
Me I always cook enough to have 2 days worth of leftovers."

She took a bite of the chicken and said," MMM just the right amount of
garlic and black pepper.  So many people put too much garlic."  I said."
Mom taught me that she would make sure I got that right by the time I was
16.  Now mom would reel back in horror if she knew I wasn't slicing fresh
garlic.  My mom is Italian so food is my mom's passion and preparing it
right is her obsession."

   She said," I am surprised you know your way around the kitchen."

    I laughed and said," Again my mom is Italian.  I went to Italy with mom
4 years ago and most of the men there know how to cook."

    She laughed and said," My dad says that is women's work."

      I said," Evidently he isn't Italian or he wouldn't say that."

      She said," Evidently not."

       I said," My dad used to say the same thing until he saw all the men
cooking.  Cooking in Italy is a unisex activity I guess you can say."  She
said," Ok great to know."  I laughed and said," Hey you want to go to
Brett's and Kim's house for a few minutes?"

         She said," Sure let's do it."

           The kitchen and the table was cleaned up and she told me to
drive and we got in her car and drove the 15 minutes to their house.

            Brett opened the door and said," Hey we wondered what happened
to you 2? "

            Beth said," We went to that quaint café.  I got to go
over and help with the yard work.  We just got done eating dinner and I
didn't know he could cook."  Brett laughed and said," Yeah his mom is
Italian."

           Kim came and said," Hi you 2 I assume you and John are getting
along."  Beth said," Yeah and found out he could cook."

             Kim said.," He has a pasta maker.  I thought Brett was the
cook between the 2 until after being married to Brett and seeing him call
John for a recipe."

            We all laughed and I said," Now to tell you the truth mom would
think that pasta maker is blasphemy but I don't have the patients to make
the pasta by hand."

             But Kim said," But his lasagna is to die for because he puts
fresh basil in it ."

              I said," Yeah, store bought sauce is horrible and so I make
my own."

            Beth said," Well, I know I am holding onto you."

            Kim said," I am glad you 2 get along so well John is such a
nice guy and yes he does grow basil and he also grows garlic."

             I said," My parents do come here occasionally I need to have
these things ready."

              Beth looked at me and said," I don't know about u but I have
to get up early in the morning."  We walked out to the car and after she
got in and I got in the driver's seat she leaned her head on my arm.

               She said,." You are so great and to think you don't think
cooking is beneath you because you are a man."

               I laughed and said," I got raised right by mom."  She said,"
Well, I am glad to find a man like you."  I laughed and said," You finally
found a man whose mom is Italian."

                We got to the house and I got out and she switched to the
driver's seat.

                  I bent down and we kissed for about 2 minutes and she
said," Wow you are such a wonderful man."

                 I said in the best redneck," You ain't bad yourself."

                 She laughed and said," You are something else and I will
see you again."

                  She started up the car and pulled out of the driveway and
I headed inside.  I stripped into my boxers and climbed into bed and
quickly fell asleep.
