Anyway, this was right after my dad died, and I had a few bucks from his estate, nothing to write home about, but the place was cheap, and I thought I...might be able to get something going. Now the east coast surfing scene isn't what it is in California and Hawaii -- never was, never will be -- but I got the idea in my head that I could be a big fish in a small pond down here. So, I put up a mortgage, bought the place, and set up shop. Got some lines of boards in, not a lot, Gastons and Webers. Accordingly I bunked my office for that day. She came to my house, dressed in a denim and a random t-shirt. I welcomed her warmly and I gave a nice big hug. She relaxed and threw in her hug too.

She has to have a kitchen, a living room, and a separate place for her room.When we got. “Everything is all right, Tommy. You’re not in any trouble. Why don’t you and Bucky go outside and play with Rex.”Tommy’s face took on a look of relief so heartfelt, it was almost comical. He still could not control his speech, so he jerked his head up and down and bolted for the door.As soon as the door swung closed behind Tommy and Bucky, the smile dropped off Betty Lou’s face, and she rounded on Ruth. She was still madder than hell, but she had control of herself now.“Explain yourself, Miss.
