Actually she kinda liked that one. In early March, he told her to arrange the private dinner for four that he had promised Gwen and her Mother. It was...the meal that Trey had promised as a memory to times past in that very top room. Jan arranged for a take-out dinner. She picked up the meals and wine and set the table. Everything was set for Gwen, Mandy, Trey and herself.A very informal, pleasant, and tasteful meal which Jan alone cleaned up. ?Want to see Jan spank herself everyone?? he asked.

In the end, they agreed to do what they could and simply hoped that the beauty pageant went well, and in their favor.A full moon tried to shine through low scudding clouds, that would sometimes drip drizzle onto anyone who lingered outside, while inside the beauty pageant line up, taking their places in the church hall.The witches quietly cursed their displeasure, for they knew they could not enter the church hall..

On our third day we drove to near by(80 miles away) Spokane to collect step sister Anna and her eldest daughter Emily plus newest daughter Midge(Anna married second husband Lyle a few months after we moved to England in late 1971 and Midge was born in late 1973). Son Blake was due to join us soon as his four years of service in the Air Force which had ended in Hawaii, lucky so and so was coming to. We conversed in German and nothing happened. He was always paying me compliments. I liked him more and more.On the third day he said, "Karen, I have been thinking. The best and the quickest way to learn any language is to enact situations in real life." I don't understand," I replied."I'll explain. What will you say if you go to a bank to cash a cheque or visit a doctor when you are sick etc." he said."Now I understand what you mean," I said enthusiastically, "Let us play act a situation.".
