Another Letter

Dear Alvis:
Things are much the same here in Hootin Holler. Your father finally got his appetite back and is eating like he is condemned.

Your father says sometimes when they say a product is improved, they just put it in a different color box.

I told you in one of my other letters that Donnie Glotz and Dottie Gack got engaged. It was love at first sight… the moment he saw the size of her savings account. Of course, everyone says he is marrying her for her money. He offered to prove his love by having a large tattoo made that said “Donnie Loves Dottie,” but Dottie said, no. She was afraid it would show whenever she wore sleeveless outfits.

Harley Corn started seeing his psychiatrist again. He says he had about all he could take of himself.

Joe Glow finally had to close his store after three years. Your father says he stayed in business that long because his customers were willing to overlook little things like service, prices, sales help and reliability.

Well, must go and see to your father. This morning, he crawled under our old shed to see if the animal under it was a porcupine. It was.

Love,

Mama
