The descriptions and details push the petal to the metal Camaro riders reliable to provide a good shoe. Trouble’s brewing but not in a glass. #7 next. Got to love these two characters.

My alter egos... I like them, too. They are both so .... spontaneous! Whereas, I am not. Glad they entertain you, Rich.

You are the characters--all of them.

I see you in each one, cavorting around and having FUN.

Ahh Sharron, you are right, it's not about the $, it's the freedom to be thankful for your synapses firing so beautifully.

Awww.... you found me out. I aspired to be those women, but missed the mark by a mile. I love these two women.

Humble becomes you--but so much more! You didn't miss ANY Mark ( except if there is a Mark whom you knew and is now gone...?)

They seem to be hiding somewhere in the back of my little grey cells... I love to bring them out to play. Thanks for reading Out of the Frying Pan, Kate!

They are ... ahem... incommunicado at the moment. Not sure what part of the country they are making a scene in right now. But here is the latest trip if. you'd like to review it.

I adore these two women. I have to get them out on the road again. Maybe the desert? Maybe Vegas?

Oh wow! Here comes the wrecking crew. And they thought the Rat Pack was wild.

It takes its time coming to me, but you know how it is - once you get the first couple of sentences down, the rest comes easy. By the way, I found great tunes for Part 7. Check it out.

So that's Muddy Waters. You know, Sharron, you educate me about music all the time. You pick the most interesting and varied genres for your stories. And this one fit that dive bar with the blues that sounded like liquid pain. Ooo, that description sings to me, girlfriend.

Meanwhile, I realize reading the story it's HAYLENE, not Sharlene. Particularly senile today.

In part 1, Haylene said her dad's name was Hayden and her mom was Arlene, so they thought they were clever and put the names together fto make Haylene.

A very country or southern thing to do, right?

I remember Scott's contribution and Bella's intro. What a crazy story you have going, Sharron.

Yes, crazy. These women do all the things I never did. I am trying to come up with a new adventure for them. I have to find a new locale....
