GALS Club Newsletter for June 8, 1996

One great thing about being home is my daily newspaper delivery. it has a crossword puzzle in it, and I've only had to pull the dictionary down *one* time this week. Another thing is listening to John Boy & Billy.

Jen has decided that she wants a new Del Sol. "Nothing more, nothing less." Calling the dealership, one was to be brought over for her to look at. About 45 minutes later she began cursing that it wasn't there yet. And, OY!...Her language when the salesman called to say he couldn't make it until Monday! (Jen...I still think the thing looks like a giant pinto bean.)

And speaking of cars...

Clarence bought a car. A '94 something, we forget. So, I guess we won't be seeing him walking through town anymore.

Vance and Phil are off on their semiannual, month-long fishing trip.

Which means...

Buddy is having to mind his own hardware store. He tells us he HATES the 10-hour days he has to stay there. (Buddy...I need 4 small nails for a project. No, better make it 5, in case I bend one.)

Shannon is looking for large bottles to put his wine in. He gave us a sample of his latest batch...strawberry...which was quite fruity tasting. Vin ordinaire pour un dessert. We agreed it's much tamer stuff than last years' Plum Lightnin', which could cure the common cold!

Lonna showed us her reminder of a brawl she was in many, many years ago. It seems she broke her knuckle in two. Half of it sits on the back of her hand, the other half near the wrist. Sure enough...there is no knuckle where it's supposed to be. But we're still looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

Nikki is growing exasperated with buying that condo (on the lake). "The paper work to sign, the frequent trips to the bank, getting this and doing that." She claims this will be the last thing she EVER buys on *time*. From now on, she'll lay the cash before them and say "Take it or leave it."
