Life Is Full Of Thorns

This Was A London (OH) Day

After a morning bike ride I decided to run a load of laundry. BUT... there was no laundry soap. I threw on a pair of shorts over my bike shorts and headed to Dollar General, which has the best price on scent free laundry soap. There, I saw a rack of birthday cards, so I grabbed one for Cousin Neddie. I was going to drop it off on the way home, but I didn't have a pen. So I stopped at the gallery where was Ginger was docent. While talking to Ginger, Jim K, drove up! It was great to see him out on his own after his recent hospital stay. During our conversation Jim gave me the phone number of someone who would like to have a show. By the time I left the gallery I realized that I needed to buy something for Cousin Neddie. I have missed his last birthday or so. And Patricia wanted some strawberries, so I headed to Kroger. I tried to find a pint of Old Coot whiskey for Neddie, but the closest I could come was Old Crow, a brand that I remember in the pantry of the farm house. It was not expensive (though I seem to remember a fifth of whiskey cost 25 cents to produce). By then it was noon and the Power Lunch was starting at Neddie's. So I drove to the Power Lunch. Have not been there in a while, so I had to stay for a bit. And I am glad I did because my third cousin Sandy and her husband were visiting from Colorado. I finally make it home two hours later.

If 25,213 Days Is Not Older Than Dirt, Then

How about the following?

There was no dial tone. You picked up the phone and waited for the operator to ask what number you wanted HER to connect you to.

Mary Holton's mother, visiting from Chicago, called a friend, and was astonished to hear the operator say that she was not home. Friend had just walked by the telephone office.

The phone number for the State Theater in London was 7.

It cost me 10 cents to go to the Saturday Matinee.

I was allowed to go by myself.

My haircuts cost 75 cents.
