Hello Friday! Most of the time around my house this is the day that kick starts the weekend, but this Friday is a special one - this is the first day of summer break for Darling Diva. Sufficed to say, she is thrilled! It means sleeping in, watching TV, home spa day's and a load of other things tween girls love to do... Little does she know, I intend for her to have a reading list, learn to type and get really good at the chores she is going to start doing to earn that allowance! LOL I can't wait to see her face when I give her the good news.
So having a good idea of how well my words will be going over (she is a tween girl after all) I decided to give myself a treat and do another Friday Five this week...
Enjoy!

Five Things You Still Won't Find in Talbot's Peak
- A diner that serves oatmeal, nuts or fruity concoctions for breakfast. Vernon, proprietor of the Spit & Grit Grill has been heard time and again saying to town visitors, “If it ain’t meat, you don’t eat.”
- A day spa. Hair and nails rarely stay intact during a shift and if a mud bath is what you crave, the forest has them much cheaper than $79.95.
- A health club. This was actually a one-time reality in The Peak, that is, until the Jolett clan rolled the place. They left mumbling something about faulty machinery not being able to keep up with a real animal. But really, who could keep up with the cheetah’s?
- A gun shop. Fights in Talbot’s peak are settled with fist and claw, not cold steel.
- A saddle shop. Our condolences go out to Bill “Billy” Barker, the first fool who tried to saddle a horse shifter. Now he rests in pieces.

I beg to differ. "Bighorn's Brunch Stop" is a strictly vegetarian eatery that caters to the Peak's less-carnivorous residents and serves the best flapjacks in town. It's run by Eleanor "Miss Elly" Ewing, mother of Mary and Bo. If Vernon has a problem, he can take it up with her. As long as he's wearing a helmet, body armor, and has long-term care health insurance.
There might be room for a day spa if certain adjustments are made. Claws do need to be sharpened, and hooves do need to be trimmed. And show me a pig who'd say no to a good wallow if they knew they wouldn't have to look out for predators and could get waited on hand and foot.
Now he rests in pieces. LOL!!!
Okay, Dante is in the development stages of having spas designed for the various clientelle at the Pleasure Club. However, a spa in town is probably needed for mother/daughter day, etc.
Hmmm... I wonder if Vernon prefers to ignore the vegetarian eatery. Or, if they ignore each other.
Gosh, I could go for some flapjacks... and later in the day some BBQ ribs.
Kisses to Darling Diva...
Oooh...vegetarian cuisine served up by the lovely Miss Elly! I've heard rumors that Vernon likes to secretly sneak on over to the BBS for flapjacks and a peek at the proprietor of his competition. ~wink~
LOL...yep, the pig shifters do like to wallow and I sure wouldn't want to tell porkers no!
Savanna, Darling Diva thanks you for the kisses and is waving hello.
Ooh a spa at Dante's, part of that could prove to be a very sexy thing for Dante and his love, after hours!
From the rumors I've heard, Vernon and Elly ignore each other, while secreting peeks! I wonder if they'd ever have/had a past, present or future?? ~wink~
Hmmm... one must wonder... it's the battle of the cuisines... although, I'm sure someone could come up with a better, more creative phrase.
~waving back to darling diva~
First I need to know if this is Vernon Hancock, Devon and Dante's father, or a different Vernon, and what kind of shifter he is. Then I can more easily answer the are-they-or-aren't-they question.
I can answer what happened Jock, Elly's husband. He took one too many shots to the head during his football days and got a little punchy and a lot careless in his later years. He ended up taking one last shot to the head; said head is currently mounted in the den of a house in Tacoma, Washington.
His Bighorn head, I presume???
Is it Vernon Hancock or Damien Hancock?
Actually, Pat, It's Vernon McMahon. Nick and Mooney's big, bad wolfie of an uncle who used to blow all the girls down. These days he's ornry, but still quite sexy with his dark and gray sprinkled hair and his neatly trimmed goatee. He also has a thing for leather. Must run in the family! ~wink~
Does Vernon know Old Gray Guy?
He just might. hehe
Oopsie. Vernon Hancock is Damien's dad and Devon and Dante's grandpa. I didn't realize the slipup until after I got home. I should have guessed Vernon Mac was related to Nick. Spit & Grit Grill; Guts & Butts Gazette. Not very original, are they?
I'm sure the two Vernons know/knew each other, since they're in the same age group and had the same name. Old Gray Guy's keeping a low profile and is probably concerned Vernon Mac might blow his cover.
Yeah, it's Jock's bighorn head. One thing shifters have to be wary of is big game hunters. Jock was sliding into dementia and wasn't wary enough. He died with his hooves on, so to speak.
"He died with his hooves on, so to speak." LOL!!!
I shouldn't laugh... however, given Jock had dementia, it might have been a blessing.
I swear if I had time, I'd try to make family trees for Talbot's Peak... but, my butt needs to be in the chair doing my read through of Kandy Apple. So far, so good.
Exactly. Towards the end Jock would shift form and forget how to shift back, so he'd just stay bighorn for longer and longer periods. The family figures a predator got him. Which is pretty much what happened, when you think about it.
Yep, when you think about it.
