I found myself in Fred Meyers on the day before Christmas Eve. I thought they were going to have to call an ambulance to remove the hysterically paralyzed woman from the olive aisle. I should never be around that many people at once. The world is definitely overpopulated.
Here’s what life is really about
Paula and Judy have been friends since they sat in Sr. Angelina’s kindergarten class together. How much more can you want in life than a friend who’s known you that long and still thinks you’re great?
