Runaway Grill!

I was in the backroom when I heard Steve screaming. I thought the man was having a heart attack, so I dashed to the terminal to find him standing in front of the windows.

“What’s the matter?” I cried.

He stretched forth his hand and pointed. “My grill! my grill!!”

I glanced out the window to find the howling wind pushing the cooker due north at top speed.

“Aren’t you going to save it?” I asked, ready to jump at the task.

Steve shook his head. “No, I want to see how far it goes.”

I shrugged. “Well, it’s your grill.”

We stood by and watched the speeding barbeque race across the tarmac toward the 15,000 gallon fuel tank some seven hundred feet away. Thankfully the grill veered away from the large metal object and opted for the grass. When the wheels hit the turf, the cooker did three complete aerial somersaults. I gave it a ten for performance.

Steve cried out triumphantly, “All right!”

Upon inspection, the bent barbeque is now handle free, but it still cooks a mean burger.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad. Ps. 126:2-3

  1. What a Great Story, Lady Dei!! I had such a visual–amazing that it only suffered a handle loss. For a minute, I was holding my breath, thinking there’d be an explosion with the fuel tank! God is good–and so is laughter!! God bless you abundantly–have a fun Fourth!! love, sis Caddo

  2. I’m laughing too! Not sure I had a good laugh yet today, so thank you!!! Glad it didn’t go to far away! Glad bless you and the joy you bring to others!

  3. Wow! :) Last night, my friend’s umbrella patio table met a similar fate! However, it wasn’t salvageable, because the tabletop was glass. I’m glad you and yours are okay! God bless you!

    • Hello, Mike. Yeah, it’s safe to fly because they’re up in the air! :) But my big secret is — placing the Lord’s angels on the pilot’s wings. Makes for a safer environment!
      God Bless You!

  5. Made me laugh as I pictured the speedie BBQ, is that your version of Meals on Wheels in action. We do it by car out here, like in everything we`ll catch up !!

  6. Hi Dei, talk about running hot, bit like being grilled when you have done something wrong or as Ron said meals on wheels, do you have them in America ? the Goverment provide them for Seniors for a very small cost, they have their meals made and delivered and yes on the run, so they stay hot.

    Thanks for sharing , loved it – Annie

    • Hello, Annie. They do have meals on wheels, but they’re usually in the bigger cities. And there are services for seniors too!
      Thanks for stopping by & God Bless You!
