l spent last weekend in Durant,
with the lady that live in the

the hostess was not at home. So
being like a child and as hot as
the dickens, / tried out the several
fans sitting around to see which
one famed the best.
Then l took off to the kitchen
to see what l could find. saw some
green apples, ate one and decided
| would take bath. Let the water
run and the longer it ran the cold
er it got. (You know they don't need
ice water in Durant) l was hot,
tired and dirty, so decided l would
dive in. q didn't stay long, l came
out hollering with no one to hear
me.) After that just sat on the
side of the tub and used dipper
full at a time. decided l was still
hungry and went back and ate an
Their apple.
Then spied some red nail polish
I was just dead to try. However.
had promised myself / would never
use any more on my nails so I gave
up the idea of using my hostess
nail polish. There was some Tweed
Parfum on the dresser. I tried that
out, surely did smell good. It was
time to get dressed before the hos
