A New Letter From Mama

Dear Alvis:

Hope things are OK with you. Lately, I get up in the morning with nothing to do and go to bed at night with it half done.

The other day I saw a funny sign on the back of Orville Mudd’s horse drawn carriage. It said, “This is an energy efficient vehicle. It runs on oats and grass. Warning: Do not step on exhaust.”


Recently an out-of-town specialist came to Hootin Holler to advise the older folks how to deal with memory loss. But he had to cancel when no one remembered to show up.

Rudy Gape recently got married the week after his 89th birthday. He married Orpa Glow, a 85 year old widow. Rudy says they spent their honeymoon getting out of the car.

Iris Gomer just got back from a bus trip to one of those casinos an Indian reservation. Iris says the Indians are taking back America one nickel at a time.

Birdie Grape just got married again. I think he must have had a lot of money, cause she told me that coffee, chocolate and men are all better if they are rich.

Herman Glotz told us he finally cancelled his stolen credit card. Herman said he delayed reporting it because the thief was spending less than his wife did.

Lazlo Thomas is still not working. The other day he was offered a job to start at $10 an hour now and then pay $12 hourly in three months. When he was asked when he wanted to start work, Lazlo said, “In three months!”

Well, got to go help your father. He stuck his head in a bear’s cave to see if it was hibernating. It wasn’t.

Love,
Mama
