It just won’t wait, it’s moving on now. OhJ What a large river. It looks like the Mis- sissippi. Now I see a town coming into view. ■Jackson, Mississippi , announces the city limits sign. The objects in view are moving more and MORE SLOWLY AND FINALLY THE MACHINE FOCUSES ON A cafe. I see Ruby Lee Garcia insioe lookino: at HER BOSS WITH A CERTAIN GLEAM IN HER EYE. COULO THIS BE LOVE? He IS LOOKINO AT A PRETTY MILLIONAIRE WHO JUST WALKEO IN, BUT OF COURSE HIS OLANOE IS JUST AN EYE FOR BUSINESS . My.' What was that louo noise? I oidn't know the See-All was equippeo for souno. Oh, it's Junior, one of my five chiloren breaking my best VASE OVER HIS OADOY S HEAO. I'm FORCED BACK TO REALITY —BEING IN MY OWN HOME IN WHITE CI TY, NEW Mexico with my husband who I met in Houston, Texas, when I thought I was going to be a oareer GIRL. I CHANGED MY MIND THOUGH, OR RATHER MY HUSBANO CHANGEO IT FOR ME, ANO HERE I AM JUST A HOUSEWIFE with five KIOS TO KEEP ME BUSY. Oh , HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS.’ THINKING OF SOHOOLMATES REM I NOS ME. I CAME IN HERE TO GET THE CHILDREN’S CLOTHES PACKED. I MUST GET BUSY IF I INTEND TO GO TO THAT CLASS REUNION WE RE HOLDING AT ROCK ISLANO TOMORROW. LET ME SEE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Sew buttons on instead of pinning the places WHERE THEY’VE BEEN TORN OFF AS I USUALLY DO, OR BUY NEW ONES?
