Mamma and Clara Susan Arrive

Harvey Lynn made his kids go out in the yard to work off some of their energy before his mamma got there. He warned them not to upset her because of her condition. Esther Agnes wanted to know what about her with her high blood and all. Harvey Lynn told the kids to be good around their aunt too. It warn't long until my sister, Florabelle's 1992 Cadillac come pulling up to the front door. You've seen the model, the one you could play a game of ping-pong on the hood. Clara Susan was driving. Clara Susan always dresses real modern like. She finished LSU this year and is in graduate school there now. She's writing a book on Mississippi women during the depression. Smart girl. Everybody come rushing out and offering to help their mamma get out of the car in into the house. She always has so much to bring in with all them tanks and tubes she needs. Florabelle complained all the way into the house about aching bones and people pulling and yanking on her. Clara Susan brung in her mamma's walker and was carrying a book to keep her occupied. It was called The English Patient. May Margaret wanted to know if her mamma had a new wig, but Florabelle said she had just pulled that one out of mothballs because she wanted a red one for Christmas.
