Talk of the Town
From Page iC
to leave. Did you know Cheri Marshall and
Amy Harrelßon are true comedians? I don’t
think that they try to be, but they make me
laugh every time I get around them. The
highlight of my evening was seeing MG. It is
always good to see her out and about.

Have you ever noticed that men carry around
their wives lipstick when you go to parties? I
guess the part that is so funny to me is that
the husbands always look around to see if any
one is watching them take lipstick our of their
pockets when the wife ask for it.

I noticed where Charlotte Perkins makes
Perry a better place to live on the PVO Board.
Good Job for picking Charlotte. While rid
ing past the PVO board, I was wondering if
couples were ever put up there because I have
a great couple that I think would be perfect.
Mr. and Mrs. Lamberth of 41 Meat Market.
Every time that I go in their store, they are
very helpful and kind. And, a special thanks to
Mr. Lamberth for the fruit. It was delicious.

Merry Christmas. Next week, I am going to
share with you a person that I am most thank
ful for this year.
