… is one of those characters who will run away with the story if you let them. I love when they turn up but I’m also wary.
“We need a TV out here.”
“We’ve discussed that, Dad.”
“Not when I was around. The TVs are better now. Ever heard of pixels? The picture’s great outside.”
“I like having TVs inside,” said Mrs. Plansky.
He gestured at her with a butter knife. “What if there’s something good on when you’re outside?”
“Like what?” That was unfair and Mrs. Plansky regretted it at once. He had no defense to a comeback like that. Why was she crabby today? Crabbiness was intolerable, meaning in herself. She could tolerate it in others, within limits.
But now he surprised her. “Like a space shot,” he said. “When they walk on the moon.”
Mrs. Plansky laughed. She reached out and patted his hand. “Next time they walk on the moon we’ll have a TV out here, I promise.”

Good evening to all!
LOL. The next time they walk on the moon. Sure.
Aw, today was Sadie Hawkins day and I missed it. I guess all those handsome single men are just going to have to suffer for another year.
Tomorrow is National Seat Belt day so buckle up and stay safe.
ML, I just love your wicked sense of humor!
I preordered my copy. I can’t wait to see what Loretta is up to next! Isn’t her dad a crack-up? Happy fall, y’all!
