Cousin Verneice’s twin girls, Tonya and Donya were both in the Little Miss Waller pageant Sunday night. Donya does impressionistic interpretive roller skate tap and Tonya sang "Don’t cry for me Waller County", all done up in a little bitty gold lame strapless. They were first runner up and second runner up.

A little nigra girl that just moved here won "little Miss Waller". LaShandra Tonitra Fontaine DePuis is her name. Her momma said she named her after her favorite fragrances or something. Anyway she was real good and is real pretty right in the face. Kinda Pigeon toed, I thought, though to have won. She sang a Whitney Houston song, fluttered her voice, and pretended to sweat a lot the way Whitney Houston Does. After she was crowned Miss Fontenot the piano player, asked that everybody have a moment of silence for that little JonBenet Ramsey girl in Colorado.

The twins weren’t sore losers and are ready to try again for Little Miss Conroe, Hempstead and a little miss Fort Bend County.

My sister Florence has had to go back for her third redo on her eye job. The first time they opened too wide and showed too much white above her iris even when she was relaxed. Well, now the left one practically droops shut all the time. She says Dr. Ronny, her plastic surgeon, is gonna get it right this time. I hope so; she sure has had to miss a lot of church durin all this.

Larry Gene, Lola’s Boy, had his entire family dressed up like Hummel figurines for their Christmas card this year. It was just darlin. They were in a pageant at Second Baptist in Houston, where everybody dressed up like Hummels. They weren’t too keen on it at first, cause the lady that thought up Hummels, was a Catholic Nun. But they decided at the last minute it wouldn’t matter, even though they are good Baptists. He explained to her that he runs into people every day that aren’t Baptist at work and stuff. You just have to! You can’t help it. He said it’s just God’s way of testing us.

Juanita Pooney’s hair has just about all grown back in. You remember her hair got caught in the sunroof of her rental car, and then she got rear-ended by a Cadillac jerkin her nearly bald-headed. She was visitin her kids in Corpus and had to have her scalp sewn up down there. The lady who hit her was a Mary Kay Rep. and keeps sending her all kinds of samples. Enid used to think she was a sort a like a door to door Avon lady but she sold birds from a catalogue. She’d be holdin her hands out in mid-air holdin absolutely nothing, askin Momma what kind of bird she wanted to order. Momma finally would say, "What do you suggest?" So’s not to hurt her feelings.

They finally closed Mitty and Mart’s Cafeteria. They are both real pitiful now and couldn’t run it any longer. We thought one of the little wetback girls that worked the line for ‘em might take over, but they closed the day after Christmas. They’re gonna tear out all the booths and kitchen equipment. Their Grandboy, Chucky is gonna run a video rental place, times change!

Let us hear from you soon. You hardly ever write up anymore, unless you wanna know where a piece of Momma’s jewelry is you want to borrow or something. At least let us know that you are trying to get married. Is your hair still Red? I hated that.

Bye for now. Love, Your Sister
