Saved By Rock And Roll

The Four Crates

The next morning I woke up to the repeated sound of a doorbell ringing, and ringing.
I assumed Alice would just get it but, I got dressed, and walked all over the house! His bedroom, doors left wide open, and no golf clothes, no Alice!
Kitchen, no Alice!
The living room, no Alice! Backyard, no Alice!
Front yard, still nothing!
Then I checked the gutair room, and found Shyrel, his wife, but still no Vinny! She didn't even know where her husband was!
So, then I remembered that I could see the golf corse from my bedroom window.

"Of course, golf course! LOL!"
So back up stairs I went. And sure enough, there he was swinging the club.
I got dressed lickity-split, and ate a nutrigrain bar.
I stood there watching him for a long time, then I called over to him. And he waved at me, I waved back. He shouted:
"Morning sweetie. Hang on, I'm almost done."

I walked around the house waiting, and he came back.

"Did you see the crates in the front yard?"
I asked him.

"Yeah, I don't know where they came from."
He said.

I walked over, and looked on the side, "it says Oley PA dad."

"Let's open them."
He said.

The first crate was small, the others were huge! There was hay sticking out the sides. First things I see, four big hooves.
Next crate, four hooves, and same thing for the last one.
I started jumping up and down!

"What's in them?"
Alice said.

"You better call Ronnie Wood dad, I said." I think there's three horses in here!"

I opened the first crate, Teddy Bear stepped out. I opened the second one, and Buster stepped out. Then I opened the last big crate. Junior stepped out, and I hugged him.
I walked them over to a tree, and tied them up, as Alice gives me a weird look, says:"Holly Horse!"
(As I laugh)

"I'll call Ronnie, he said.As he takes his phone out, and calls Ronnie.
"Ring, ring"

Ronnie: "Hello?"

Alice: "Hey Ron, it's me Vinny, Alice Cooper.How have you been?"

Ronnie:"Oh, hi Vinny.I'm great!What about you?"

Alice:"I've been great! Thanks.
Great to talk to you again."

Ronnie:"Yeah Same to you. Thanks."

Alice:"No problem, I have a little favor to ask if you buddy."

Ron:"Sure Vinny. What can I help you with?"

Alice:"Well I don't know if Keith told you or not, but our biggest fan Melia, um she, uh, I adopted her."

Ronnie:"No, actually Keith didn't tell me. Wow!!!!!!" That's wonderful, congratulations Mr.Cooper(Melia chuckles)(Alice laughs, and smiles at me.)

Ronnie:"You ok Alice?"

Alice:"Yes, fine, thanks.Melia is standing here next to me, and your in speakerphone Ronnie."

Ronnie:"Oh.Hi Melia! How are you doing?!"

Melia:"Wonderful, thanks for asking Ronnie.

Ronnie:"So what's up guys?"

Alice:"Well Melia's barn where she used to take lessons at, shipped three crates, up here to Arizona, but ones a cat, which we'll keep.

Ronnie:"What's in the other two?"

Melia:"Horses. Two geldings Ronnie."

Ronnie:"What!" Awesome, I love horses! I won't go near them though."

Ripper:"I know right, wait why?"

Ronnie:"Did Keith not tell you?"

Ripper:"No, what?"

Ronnie:"I love horses, but from a distance."

Ripper:"What!" I thought you rode them though."

Ronnie:"Nope, sorry."

Ripper:"Oh, Ronnie you don't know what your missing."
Ronnie:"I know."

Ripper:"Back to the matter at hand."

Ronnie:"Right. Are they race horses?"

Alice:"Not exactly."

Melia:"One is named Junior, but he's a retired race horse."

Ronnie:"Oh, ok. That's all right."

Alice:"So we were wondering if you have any open stalls in your barn."

Ronnie:"Oh, yeah, I do."

Ripper:"Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Ronnie:" Your welcome Ripper."

Alice:"So when should you come pick them up?"

Ronnie:"How about tomorrow, and well ship them up Saturday through Sunday."

Ronnie:"As a matter of fact, I'm free tomorrow, which is a Friday."
Alice:"Sounds good to us."

Ronnie:"By guys.See y'all tomorrow!"

Alice:"By Ron."

Ripper:"By Ronnie, have a great day!"

"Who shipped the animals up here for you Melia? It couldn't have been, you know, your old parents."
Vincent asked.

"I think I know. My uncle Jeff. He was always nice to me."
I say.

"That makes sense."
Vincent says.

(24 Hours Later)
The next day Ronnie came, and by the way we tied the horses up to a tree, in the shade, with water, carrots, apples, and grass, duh.
We loaded the horses into the trailer, with Ronnie in the truck, I took a picture, said goodbye, and Ronnie left:( Alice, and Ronnie said that we would go riding some time soon, well the rest of us, not him. We went in, ate supper, and went to sleep.🏴

So you found about about the surprise, stay tuned for some guitars.
