Well, Butte may be home to the Richest Hill on Earth, but I sure wouldn’t want to live there. No matter how high the price of copper went.As we ate ...unch, Molly told us, “The history of Butte is written in decades — gold in the 60s, silver in the 70s, copper now. Now, and for the foreseeable future.”Emma shook her head, “Butte will have to foresee without me. I’m going to take about a two-day bath back at the Lenoir.”While it was a fine hotel, I wondered how long our stay would be this time.. We could then slow down until we were able to produce enough new product to meet the increased demand our successful sales program was providing for us. I hated to do that.

I mentioned Phil's idea to him, and he was immediately enthusiastic. He was extremely happy. So, obviously she had seen me, and now they were searching for me- why? It became obvious from their conversation that they also debated whether or not they should proceed to have some kinky outdoor sex, now that her mom was sent home! I half hoped they would go away, as the embarrassment was almost too much – but I also secretly hoped that I would be discovered and seen by these two complete strangers. Why on earth they walked into ?our? little clearing, I will never understand – but they did!. I didn't mention Barb's reaction when she saw Ruth, nor the state of Barb's clothes and makeup. I was suspicious of what had happened. I wanted to see what he would tell me.When I finished, I could tell that he was trying to figure out what I knew and how much to tell me.
