The girls can pay me if they like, three vests all smeared, bath towels same, and old ways to, night gown, the standard cover, her drawers and some rags, all in bad condition, then a towel and apron that were all rights. That things were laying in the pantry or cool closet where I keep all my eats, so did not want them there. Edy called to know if I'd go to central church to a new group concert.
