Judy said nothing. “Are you planning to start a family soon Judy?” Judy shifted uneasily in her seat. “We have been trying for a little while...now," she confessed. Al squeezed her hand, “Does Sandy need any help?” Judy remained silent. Al lifted his hand and rested it on her thigh, “It wouldn’t take us long Judy. We would have you pregnant in no time at all.” Judy didn’t doubt it; she had no doubt at all that they would get her pregnant very quickly. “Just say the word Judy and I will. ..”“Get up, lazy bones!” yipped Constance, whipping the covers off of Bobby. She stopped, staring at his morning boner. She told herself she should have known he’d sleep naked. She’d forgotten what he looked like too. She backed up as he raised his head and squinted at her.“It’s tomorrow you’re supposed to be here,” he groaned. “Not today.”She ignored his nakedness. “No it’s not. You said today and we’re here, so get your lazy butt out of bed and teach me to finish drywall.“Why do you hate me?”. Mumbling to himself about what he had to go through to have eggs, he cleaned the chicken shit up with a shovel, throwing it in a corner near the entrance and putting a shovel full of dirt on it.Later, as they sat to eat, Lobo stared hard at his master. "Yeah, yeah, I know," he told the wolf. "She's not going to live with us long. I don't love eggs that much. I have a rough idea about how to build a fence for her, but first, I have to preserve two cases full of vegetables. We'll just have to put. They had a big Russian state funeral for her." I was continually amazed at what Ida knew and came up with. Where did she learn all this stuff? She answered my question before I had a chance to speak it. " My mom, of course. Ruth knew more about more stuff than any woman or man I've ever known. She never watched TV, she was always at the library, and someplace talking to women who were wired up like she was. I'm glad you got to know her, Syl, wasn't she a pistol?"My period began the next.
