Good Heavens
“You should’ve seen the scarecrow those girls made! It wasn’t a “he” it was a “she” with a burlap body and lots of stuffing in all the right places and dressed in the tackiest evening gown and shawl I ever saw. They named her “Goldilocks” because Brenda and Melba, our two hairdressers, had dyed a mop head yellow and made it into stovepipe curls for Goldilocks’s hair. Earrings Emily had made from jar rings dangled from both sides of the head, and somebody had found throwed-away pie pans to hang o...n her to scare the birds away.
Friday I drove the van into Rockville and let the girls off at a strip mall. Dora didn’t want to go to town, so Ursula scheduled a counseling session with her. Lenora went with us, but it was beginning to rain and she didn’t get out of the van. The only thing I needed was mouthwash, and I bought a large economy size. After my trip to the drugstore, I sat in the van with her, waiting for the others to finish shopping.
I talked but Lenora didn’t.MoreLess
