Middle Aged Women with Box Cutters

So Lynn and I jumped into the Sonata and headed for the country.

It's not a long drive from the suburbs to the country.

Within fifteen minutes we were pulling into the driveway of Mildred's country home. The barn door was open and most of the dreams had gotten out.

Ko-Ko and her compatriots were already hard at work as we approached. For an old fart like me, there's something fairly formidable about a group of six or seven middle aged women standing outside a barn each of them armed with box cutters.

Ko-Ko greeted us warmly. She pointed over to a bunch of boxes that had just been hauled from the barn. Ko-Ko asked Lynn if she knew what to do.

Lynn knew what to do.

Ko-Ko handed her a box-cutter.

They try to keep me away from sharp objects so as Lynn headed to the sealed boxes from QVC, I headed towards a bunch of boxes that were unsealed and may or may not have been purchased from QVC.

The very first box I looked at came from a place called Projansky's. The box was circular. I opened the box and was astonished to see what was inside.....

A leopard skin pill-box hat.
