The Film “GORDY” – The Finish

Have you been on the edge of your seat waiting for the finish?  If you missed the first part of my breakdown, check out my Friday posting. 🙂

Here we go –

So Gordy, Hanky and his family fly to Branson, Missouri  to help out Cousin Jake, Luke and Jinni Sue.  They are so in awe to see welcome signs all over for Gordy being there in Branson.  They go to the country music concert where they meet all kinds of famous country singers – Mickey Gilley, Boxcar Willie, Christy Lane and Roy Clark.  There’s even a surprise speech from President Bill Clinton who unveils a new stamp in honor of Gordy.

Hanky talks about how Gordy wants to find his family and they give out a number to call if you have any information.  While all of this is taking place, Sipes sends his henchman out to kidnap Gordy and kill him – squeal!  But what the henchman didn’t see was that Cousin Jake saw them and follows them.  The henchman goes over a bridge and throws Gordy off!  Can you believe that?!  I was sitting on the edge of the sofa with mommy.  But never fear, Cousin Jake got lost and was under the bridge.  Guess who he caught?  Yep, you’re right – GORDY!

Cousin Jake takes him back to the music hall and the henchman tells Sipes he’s done the deed.  When Cousin Jake gets back to the music hall, he tells Hanky, Luke Jinnie Sue and Jessica what happened.  A battle ensues between Luke and Sipes and Jessica knocks out Sipes with a briefcase.

Someone calls the music hall and tells them that Gordy’s parents are going to be slaughtered at an unidentified slaughterhouse in Nebraska.  Jessica, Hanky, Jinnie Sue and Luke then find out that the slaughterhouse is one that Royce Industries actually owns!  They jump in the limousine with Cousin Jake driving and off they go.

Hanky keeps calling the slaughterhouse and finally gets the right number from the Royce Industries attorney.  Hanky tells the supervisor to shut down just in time.  They arrive at the slaughterhouse and not only do they rescue mom and the siblings but also dad.  Gordy is a hero!

In the last shots of the movie, you see everybody back at Meadow Brook Farm.  The farm is now sold and I know you want to know who bought it, right?  Jessica and Luke!  They got married and moved to the farm.  Jinnie Sue and Hanky are now brother and sister and all of the pigs are back where they are suppose to be.  Life is happy!

Now, wasn’t it worth the wait my friends?

 

Really Dad? You’re Not Invited

Let’s start by saying, me and mom are so NOT morning peeps.  We have a schedule that we keep in the mornings.  I wake her up for breakfast.  She gets up and we eat together.  Then we bundle on the couch together and listen to the morning news as we cuddle for a couple of more minutes of snooze together.  Do you get the picture?  Together as in me and mommy time alone.  NOTICE I didn’t say: me, mommy and daddy.  There was no mention of daddy.  It’s called me and mommy time for a reason.  Let me say again… me and mommy.  So you got that, right?

So this morning of ALL mornings on a Monday, guess who decides to get up with us and infiltrate into “our” time?  That’s right – daddy.  Not just daddy but non-stop-diarrhea-of-the-mouth talking daddy.  Go back to bed daddy!  Really.  But no… let’s keep chatting away.  Let’s keep singing away to Eddie Rabbit… to Elvis Presley… to Brooks and Dunn… to Pink.  Yep, you read right – Pink.  Rolls piggy eyes and shrugs shoulders.

You see, this is the problem.  Daddy is a morning person.  He wakes up happy, chirpy, full of life and wonderment.  Me and mom not so much.  Even this little oinker knows not to talk to mommy until after that first cup of coffee… sometimes maybe a second.  And hey – I’m not that jolly myself in the morning.  I have one thing on my mind – food.  And then some snuggles.  Sometimes not in that particular order.

Daddy was so bad this morning – a MONDAY of all days, that me and mom went to her room.  I got on the big bed and watched her get ready for work.  Guess who followed us?  Mouthy man!  I could see mommy and the steam was rising.  She looked at me and I could just picture her in my head telling daddy, “SILENCE!”  But she didn’t – it was a nice dream though.  Poor dad.  He was like a little puppy this morning following us around.  I thought at one time I heard mommy mumble, “Jabber Jaws” under her breath.  I can’t be sure though.  Of all days, I think mommy was ready to go to work.  She kissed me and put me back to bed for a morning nap.  Daddy even followed her to the car.  It’s going to be a long day for me here at the Hotel Thompson.  Please pray for me that daddy goes back down for a nap.  Snorts.  Do you have a morning person in your house?  What do you do when they get over obnoxious?
