of gifts, with many "oohs[" and "ahs!"
and, "This is just what I wanted!". .
"How did you know my size ? ". . . and
"Oh, thank you!" I believe the one
who asked, "How did you know my
size ? " was Claude Eddinger when
someone presented Viim with a pair of
white shorts with the words, "Go
Man, Go!" on them. Have you gone
yet, Claude, or are you waiting 'til
you get to use your new rod and reel?
We understand your boys were just as
proud of your fishing equipment as
you were.
Also pleased were Troy Hinshaw,
Jack Kimsey, Willie Young, Cloyd
Coffey, Harley Jones and Bill Sink.
Dare we print what you remarked.
Bill? First time we've ever seen
your spouse blush! ! Did anyone else
notice ?
Also, on Saturday night a party
was held at which Paula Allen and her
gracious mother were hostesses. Here
good food, games and demonstrations
of the "Twist" by Dot Bottoms' daugh
ter, Tommie, and Paula's little sis
ter, Dawn, were enjoyed. Say, who
"bussed" who under the mistletoe?
Here, also, those beautiful silver
trays were much in evidence.
And, then came the dawn--Back
to work! ! Oh, me, was it ever hard
to get back "in the saddle. " Inventory,
anyone ? ? Well, really, it isn't all
that bad, is it? Well, now, you take
it like this: You're counting, say up
to 150 dozen, and someone says, "Are
you counting?" Blank goes your mind
and all over you go: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Ah, inventory! ! ! !
And then, NEW YEAR'S DAY! ! !
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Like I say,
back in the saddle ! ! !
Cloyd Coffey says when you have
to ask someone else if your shoes are
shining, it's time to go on a diet! It's
a good thing Christmas doesn't come
but once a year for those who have to
watch their weight, isn't it?
