Small Town Lady
Visited the small town I grew up in this weekend and it's always amusing to see old friends and the people who live there.
I love, LOVE, the 91 year-old waitress at the "downtown" restaurant. She's a tiny woman with white, curly, old-lady hair and her face is painted with an orange mask of foundation. Today she was wearing a lavender jumper with pink roses and yellow hummingbirds on it. And the first thing she says to me is so country that I immediately fall in love with her again; "I haven't seen you in a coon's age!" Bless. I think the other thing she had me in stitches is: "I'm so hot you could fry an egg on me!" I love her.

Haha... She sounds pretty animated. Glad you had a good time back in country.
She's hilarious. I'd put her in my pocket and bring her back to Chicago if I could.
That sounds exactly like something she would say.
Yep. It's a little cartoonish.
