Uncle Harvey Lee has decided to abandon his reporting on Oprah's trip. He told me that if anyone wanted to know about it all they had to do was watch it on TV. Instead he wants to begin telling about his cousin
Florabelle Swinston and her family's Christmas dinner last year.
Y'all ought to meet my cousin Florabelle and her family. They are CHARACTERS. Her daughters are: May Margaret, Esther Agnes, and Clara Susan. Her boy is Harvey Lynn, named after me, darn it. May Margaret's husband is Cleveron. They all smokes like a tar-paper fire except the youngest daughter, Clara Susan. She's a good friend of Hollis. She seems to have more in common with him than the rest of the family. She's the one what told Hollis about the goings-on last year and called it May Margaret's Christmas Extravaganza.
Florabelle ain't as old as me, but she is run down. She has to breathe oxygen--well, I reckon we all do--but hers comes in a tank. And she is about as ornery as they come. Clara Susan puts up with her and the rest of her family real good. She's a college graduate--LSU--but don't hold that against her. She's about the only one over there with any sense.
Tomorrow: Esther Agnes Arrives
Hollis' funny name of the day:
Todd Ball doesn't fit in
