Let me tell you something, Patsy,
when you like a thing you ought not
baye all you can eat Of It every day, for
that way sometimes you get tired OF il
and perhaps never like it again. When
you find something YOU like real well
you ought TO have it only once a week
and then you will always have an appc-
tite for it and always want some Of IT,"
That was certainly interesting and use.
iul to know, but the pears tasted pret-
ty good just the same.
When we were eating told my own,
true daddy about the sister law and
the teacher and the brother and the
baby, and he said, Nobody can live
happily in someone elSes home. When
you get married am going to live in
a boarding house right near you but
am not going to live with you" | said.
Il have made up my mind to be an old
maid and TO raise my children the same
way" Then my own true daddy put his
head down on his arms on the table
and laughed 90 hard he shook the
dishes and that started me to laughing
and ! laughed so hard had tears on
my cheeks when he went out OH the
porch to smoke while ! washed the
dishes. but I'll be dingbusted il | know
what the Joke was, but hope | have
